Call for proposals: What on Earth are we Eating?
ATVP is currently Calling for Proposals for…
What on Earth are we Eating?
a group exhibition about food
9 – 19 May 2013
Opening launch Thursday 9 May 6-9pm
Artist talks Saturday 11 May 2-4pm
What are we eating tonight? Dinner Parties
(Sat 11, Tues 14, Thur 16 & Sat 18 May from 7pm)
What on Earth are we Eating? Curated by Ebony Secombe & ATVPs Co-Director team * is an exhibition that provides a platform for discourse pertaining to, and around, the relationships we have with food. The ways in which we relate to what we eat, what others eat, how we eat and who we eat with expose some of the inner most layers of the human condition.
Notions and issues of health, mass (over or under) consumption, biotechnologies & genetical engineering, sustainability and environmental/ecological concerns, as well as examining how food is used as a vessel for human interaction in contemporary society, are just some of the topics that one could choose as an avenue for inquiry.
Why do we eat together (or alone)? What does it mean to be a consious (slow food) eater? What drives our eating habits? How does what we eat or don’t eat effect our bodies? How do our choices around food effect our environment? These are some of the questions that this exhibition is seeking to present a platform for discussion and interaction.
As part of this exhibition ATVP will host a series of intimate dinner parties (What on Earth are we eating tonight?). Members of the community (individuals or groups), exhibiting artists and our audience are invited to propose themed evenings/menus for the program by volunteering an evening to cook a meal for 8 guests. Each dinner guest will contribute $10 to the evening, and the selected chefs for each evening will create a 3-course meal with a budget of $80. Each dinner party will be documented where cooks and guests will be given the opportunity to discuss the exhibition, artworks and its themes in a friendly conversational environment.
Proposals for artworks, performances and happenings are open to artists, working in any mediums, including edible art.
Propose up to 5 artworks per artist. An exhibition fee of $100 per artist will apply to each artist selected.

SAVE THE RAT A collective community space in need of saving!
Save the Rat is the just launched fundraising campaign for the award winning and much-loved accessible arts
space in Sydneyʼs inner-west the Red Rattler with a goal to ensure the venue stays open. The Rattlerʼs 5th
birthday party is fast approaching and therefore a dedicated team of unpaid board members, as well as a crew of
over 50 volunteers, are all working tirelessly on the Red Rattlerʼs fundraising activities and events. Their aim is to
raise loan costs in order to acquire a 40% share of the building.

We have one more 2012 post after this one, so get all your infomation to us and we will get it up for you. We will be checking emails etc for important messages, but keep an eye on our facebook page and post you on there too.

Summer Residency – Yarra Sculpture Gallery
After the great success of the 2012 Winter Residency program, the Contemporary Sculptors Association is inviting applications from emerging and established artists for a 6 week Summer Residency at the Yarra Sculpture Gallery.
They are offering the opportunity for artists to experiment and expand their practice, a time to take chances and explore possibilities. They are looking, ideally, for artists who would like to have the opportunity to create installation or large scale sculptural works within the gallery space.
Up to five artists will be selected and allocated one of the gallery spaces in which to work. Artists will have 24 hour non residential access to the space. An Open Studio will be held on the last weekend of the residency, where the artists can present any finished work or discuss work in progress with other artists and the public.
Details of the gallery space can be found on the website – http://www.yarrasculpturegallery.com.au/summer-residency.html
Please rank your preferences for spaces, if you have them, in your application. They will endeavor to accommodate your choices but cannot make any guarantees.
Applicants will need to provide a CV, 5 images of current or relevant work (1MB max each image) and a 250 word proposal for the residency. Successful applicants would be required to join the CSA if not already members.
Applications can be emailed to yarrasculpturegallery@gmail.com or sent via post to:
Summer Residency – Yarra Sculpture Gallery – 117 Vere Street, Abbotsford, VIC 3067

Residency Dates:
14th December 2012 – 5th February 2013
Open Studios Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd February
Application Due Date: 5pm Monday 26th November

Costs and commitments:
Successful applicants who are current CSA members are required to pay $150 to cover rent and bills.
Future members pay $210 Full / $180 concession – includes annual membership to the CSA.
A $100 bond is required from all participating artists. This will be returned at the end of the residency, providing that the space is returned to previous working order.
They don’t police commitment or working hours and understand that everyone has different working methods, but their expectations are that you would be using the space for a minimum of 15 hours per week and will be available for the open studios.

Find out about our two new art projects in Melbourne and Sydney. Experience Allora & Calzadilla at the State Library of Victoria from 16 November and follow us for news on our most ambitious project to date!
Kaldor Public Art Projects
PROJECT #26 OPENS IN MELBOURNE
After months of preparation, we are excited to be approaching the opening of Project #26: Allora & Calzadilla’s Stop, Repair, Prepare at the State Library of Victoria. Allora & Calzadilla are two of the most significant artists of our time and their work Stop, Repair, Prepare: Variations on ‘Ode to Joy’ for a Prepared Piano integrates sound, performance and sculpture to create a captivating new experience for audiences.
For Stop, Repair, Prepare, the artists have cut a large hole from the centre of a Bechstein grand piano and made adjustments to the pedals, to allow the pianist to enter the piano and play it from within, wheeling it across the floor as they walk. A meditation on art, idealism and power, Stop, Repair, Prepare has been presented to great acclaim at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and was described by the New York Times as a ‘fully-fledged, crowd-pleasing masterpiece.’
From 16 November – 6 December
Cowen Gallery, State Library of Victoria
Performances on the hour: Monday to Thursday 11am-8pm, Friday to Sunday 11am – 5pm.

In Gallery with Mosman Art Gallery

1) What is the History of Mosman Art Gallery? 

Mosman Art Gallery was launched in 1999. It was built as part of an adaptive reuse of a significant heritage site heritage (the original building was designed by the architects Burcham Clamp and Walter Burley Griffin. 

2) What is your galleries philosophy? 

We aim to be the home of Australian Art and innovation, reflecting the great artistic heritage of the area and as an active participant in future arts developments.

3) How do you choose shows for the Gallery? 

There are five criteria or streams that we consider for our programming. A program does not need to match all streams but we use them to make sure we have a balanced program. These streams of programming are: 1. Contemporary multi art program, 2. Heritage/collection program, 3 Access program,

4 Aboriginal program and 5. Innovation/new technology program. 
 

4) Is there a certain style of art that the gallery prefers? 

No particular style, but work of high quality that deals with interesting subject matter is usually preferable

5) What educational activities do you have? 

We have over 4,000 students participating in our education activities every year, with educational programs designed to reflect individual exhibitions as well as our permanent collection.

6)  If you can, what advise can you give to an artist looking for representation, what would it be? 

Always produce high quality work and be unique.

7) It is a hard market out there, how are you finding it? 

As a public gallery we are not dependant on selling works, although sales have been down in recent years during the Mosman Art Prize.

8) What kind of audience do you usually get visiting? 

 We have a range, but like most galleries the majority of visitors are women who are mostly older than the median age. Having said that our audiences are becoming more diverse with many younger people coming to specific programs.

9) Have you any advice when choosing a gallery to show in? 

It’s a bit of a luxury to choose, but you should aim to work with galleries and/or curators who get what you do and value it.

10) There are plenty of ARI (Artist run initiatives) out there, What are you thoughts on these spaces? 

These places are vital for the long term development of artists and in providing direct experience for the next generation of arts administrators.

11)     Social media is everywhere, do you use it and does it help the gallery? 

We have only established a social media presence this year but it is growing rapidly.

It is easy to use and provides another low cost outlet for getting our message out. 

12) How do you get people to visit your gallery? 

A variety of ways – through invitation, gallery friends, word-of-mouth, publicity and advertising and repeat visitation.

13) What art do you have on your wall at home and your office? 

Contemporary urban Aboriginal artwork.

14) Where can we find out more about your gallery? 

A good place to start is our website – www.mosmanartgallery.org.au

15) What do artists need to know about the Mosman Art Prize? 

That it is the most prestigious open painting prize in Australia with a first prize of $30,000. It is also the oldest municipal art prize in Australia, founded in 1947.  The inaugural winner was Margaret Olley. Many famous artists have won the prize and have used it as a springboard for their careers.

16) What shows are coming up over the next couple of months?

 In December/January we have Megan Heyward with a joint gallery/locative media project called Notes for Walking, which will also be featured as part of the 2013 Sydney Festival. During this time the Australian Watercolour Institute will combine with the Taiwanese Watercolour Institure in a joint international exhibition. Also, visitors to the Gallery can experience the Balnaves Gift, a recent $1 million donation of works to the gallery featuring Mosman landscape by key Australian artists including Arthur Streton, Sydney Long, Conrad Martens and Margaret Preston.

Sydney Architecture Festival 2012
Architecture comes alive for the sixth annual Sydney Architecture Festival under the theme “Beyond Boundaries”
24 October – 4 November
The Sydney Architecture Festival is about understanding Sydney and imagining the future of our city through its urban and built environment.  SAF invites wide participation in dialogues about the future of our metropolis.
About the Sydney Architecture Festival
The 2012 Sydney Architecture Festival theme, Beyond Boundaries will encourage attendees to form connections across the city, encouraging a mode of celebrating, enjoying and investigating architecture that is outward focussed and collaborative.
The 10 day celebration of architecture offers more than 80 events – many free of charge – including guided architectural tours, talks, open houses, workshops, exhibitions and panel discussions. The program caters both to members of the architecture and design industry as well as actively involving the general public in discussions about the future of Sydney’s urban and built environment.
A major initiative that speaks to the 2012 theme of the Festival is the keynote event SUPER Sydney. This ambitious project seeks to gather insights, inspirations and visions for the future of the metropolis of Sydney. A group of Sydney architects are working with more than 40 local councils to conduct and document a series of one-on-one interviews with residents of all ages, ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds across greater Sydney. SUPER Sydney (www.supersydney.org) culminates with the unveiling of the findings at the opening of the Festival on Wednesday 24 October.
The 2012 Sydney Architecture Festival opens on  24 October closes on 4 November with Sydney Open.

To get involved, please email  info@sydneyarchitecturefestival.org
