Accidental Mix - Field-work 1: the participatory maker
This 6-month Artist research and residency
opportunity forms part of an innovative collaboration between Queens Cross
Housing Association (QCHA) and the Department of Sculpture and Environmental
Art (SEA) at The Glasgow School of Art. Accidental Mix is envisaged as an
ongoing series of artist opportunities that will explore how a diversity of
creative methods might support means of engagement with communities in the
development of art in a range of public, urban spaces.
Field-work
1: the participatory maker, is
the first in that series and aims to support the artist to explore and test the
role of making as a means of communication and engagement with some of the
diverse communities that make up QCHA. Supported by Creative Scotland, Public Art Research and
Development investment funding, this 6 month residency will enable an
artist-maker to form a key part of the Accidental Mix project team and offers an exciting opportunity to
develop working methods through materials and process that test ideas of making
as a means of participation in relation to Public Art. The artists’ research in
this area will contribute to and support the development of a strategy for
public art within QCHA.
A fee of £9,000
will be paid to cover the artist’s input over 6 months between the periods
January 2013 to June 2013, with time input to be determined by the artist in
negotiation with the project’s partners. Up to £5,000 for materials and
community workshops is also available; the allocation will be agreed with the
artist and the project team however will include artist’s materials and public
presentation of their research and documentation, which is likely to be held in
the Accidental
Mix base in Queens Cross, Glasgow.
This residency is offered on a self-employed basis.
Applications
are due by 9 November 2012 and interviews will be held in Glasgow on Friday 23
November 2012
