The deadline for this opportunity has passed, and no more submissions are being accepted. Click here to have a look at other opportunities listed on CuratorSpace.

The iPhone residency is an experimental curational project looking at contemporary modes of living in relation to technology and its possible implications. Using a designated device as the location of an artistic residency, it will provide a platform for a number of artists to each individually create and exhibit a body of work. This opportunity is for our second residency position.

It may be helpful to take the time to look at our website and see the type of work our previous resident created. http://iphoneresidency.online/

 

Submissions are not restricted by medium but must be created with or incorporate/reference the device in some way - each artist will occupy the device for a period of two weeks then return it to the projects administrator. In this time they are expected to create a minimum of 5 works or one substantial project whilst maintaining an online presence on the residencys instagram / facebook page. Submissions that aim to incorperate a critical dialogue with the medium will be more favourable.

 

All documentation of the works created must be saved onto the device before returning in order for works to be exhibited after their allotted residency slot. Admin will cover the cost of postage to and from selected artists location reimbursing the artist once device has been successfully returned. A deposit of 30 pounds may be applicable in some cases. A small amount of money may be available for materials depending on project type.

 

The model that is being used in this residency is an iphone 4, it will be delivered with a charger and empty pay as you go sim. A full technical specification of the product can be found here: Link

 

Outcomes of all the projects will be exhibited online and maybe in a physical space that is yet to be decided. We are also interested in alterntive ways of exhibiting work / reaching audiences that are relevant to the medium. Applications that make use of this ideas may be favored. Please note this in your application if this is something your interested in. 

 

Applications will not be accepted after midnight 30/6/2016. This is when this specific open call round will close.

 

If you are not selected in this round no need to re apply at a later date applications made in this round may be selected for a later residency slot. If you submitted a proposal in the last open call you will be entered automatically. There is no need to re submit unless you would like to put forawrd a different idea.
