The conference is open for contributions in English and German.
Deadline: May 28, 2017.Conference program
- Cultural Leadership & Innovation
- Utopias, Strategies and Challenges of Arts Management
The term “cultural leadership” has gained increasing attention in the discourses of cultural management and cultural policy, as well as in the curricula of international study programmes and higher education programmes. In many of these contexts, “cultural leadership” is presented as a force for innovation and transformation of organizations and societies.
The 11th Annual Conference of the Association for Arts Management (Fachverband Kulturmanagement for Germany, Austria & Switzerland) takes this observation as a starting point for an interdisciplinary, international gathering of researchers and practitioners in the field of arts management. The conference focusses on two different aspects, reflecting two different readings of the concept of “cultural leadership”: Firstly, “cultural leadership” is often used as a (usually not clearly defined) term for management and leadership processes in cultural organizations in general. Secondly, the term can also refer more broadly to processes of cultural development and cultural exchange on a bigger social or even international scale, for example in the context of cultural diplomacy. Read the full conference description in our Call for Papers.
The program will be announced in autumn and will be available for download here.
Keynote Speakers: Prof. Dr. Andreas Reckwitz, Professor for Comparative Cultural Sociology, Europa-Universität Viadrina (Frankfurt / Oder), Amelie Deuflhard, Artistic Director Kampnagel (Hamburg), more tba.

Arquiteturas | Film Festival Lisbon open call
» culture360.org
The 5th edition of Arquiteturas, the international film festival in Lisbon dedicated to film of all genres about architecture, will explore the notion of the contemporary architect’s role in society as well as the
metamorphosis in the profession. Let’s Get Physical is the theme. Entries invited.The architecture profession and the figure of the architect have been depicted in cinema since about 1904 (the oldest example of an architect as the main character in a film). As well in fiction as in reality the shifts in the image we have of the persona of the architect have changed throughout history.
A skilled human with a broad learning and various talents – the architect of Vitruvius – the architect of today is also a curator, product designer, writer, filmmaker, photographer, philosopher, graphic designer, artist, activist, social worker, developer, etc… Is this development setting the architect further away from the origin of the word architecture or is it bringing the profession to an unknown future?
Arquiteturas is the first international film festival in Portugal to screen documentary, experimental, animation and fiction films about architecture.
The festival focuses on the growing global interest in interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary architecture. It uses the power of moving images as a tool for broadening public understanding and appreciation of architecture.
The festival presents relevant documentaries, fiction and experimental films that expose both Portuguese and international contemporary architecture as well as the permanent dialogue between city, space and narrative. Besides screenings we have several activities that enhance architecture multidisciplinary such as informal talks, thesis presentations, masterclasses, workshops, installations, exhibitions, a bookshop and a guide tour.

Switzerland | Bibliothek Andreas Züst residency calls 2017
» culture360.org
Twice annually — respectively for the months of April and November — the Bibliothek Andreas Züst in the Alps of Eastern Switzerland offers three studio residency stipends. The length of the stay can vary from one to four weeks according to the needs of the stipendiaries.
Application is open to Swiss or foreign individuals or teams (max. four persons) working in any artistic / cultural field, e.g., visual arts, literature, new media, music, theatre, dance, design, architecture, film, photography, as well as applied arts, art or cultural theory / studies. Foreigners are required to have an authorized permit to enter Switzerland.
For the stipendiaries, the Alpenhof panorama lodge will provide for accommodations. Applicants must submit a statement specifying their specific interests and describing their motivation in seeking a residency. The Bibliothek Andreas Züst is especially seeking projects that deal with the library as a whole or one of its sub-areas.
The Bibliothek Andreas Züst includes approximately 10,400 titles on topics ranging from, e.g., the weather, geology, astronomy, physics, literature, photography, art, kitsch, and popular culture. Since 2010, the Bibliothek has been located at the Alpenhof. The former hotel, situated on the Appenzellian St. Anton (1,110 m.a.s.l.), not only offers facilities for overnight stays, but also spaces for working.
The Studio Residency Stipend program is to be considered in the tradition of libraries as places of knowledge in the sense of diversity. In short: the residency should entail research about what constitutes the fabric of our culture and also what goes beyond it.
The Alpenhof is an inspiring location for a retreat and working, with opportunities for exchange and relaxation. Situated at 1,110 m.a.s.l. overlooking the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance, here landscape conjoins with lingering; the Alpstein mountains with a sea of fog; Eastern Switzerland with Übersee; traditional Alpaufzug (procession of cows on mountain paths) with astronomy. The Alpenhof itself, with its rooms, grand halls, terraces, and the music room, is open to guests from far and wide, as well as all kinds of encounters. Depending on the bookings, the Alpenhof can be either busily lively or peacefully quiet. For each recipient of a studio grant, there is a private bedroom available with an individual area for working. In addition, there is a shared studio-/music room available, as well as different areas throughout the Alpenhof for working quietly. Further facilities include: the shared kitchen, dining and living rooms, and the Bibliothek Andreas Züst.
Accommodation and use of the studio are free-of-charge, and travel costs are also covered. A separate request can be made for an additional subsidy for living costs of up to CHF 250/week. Artistic production costs must be covered privately.

Imagine 2037 | call for proposals from migrant artists
» culture360.org
The British Council is inviting artists who are migrants, living anywhere in the world, to dream about the future in Imagine 2037. Join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the British Council’s Edinburgh Showcase in this new project exploring place and migration.
We’re excited to announce a new opportunity open to artists who are migrants, based anywhere in the world. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the British Council’s Edinburgh Showcase, we invite practitioners to dream about the future with us in Imagine 2037, a festival of imaginary performances. If you’re interested, apply before the deadline on 18 May 2017.
Who is eligible to apply?
Artists who are migrants: who live in a country that’s not where they were born. We’re interested in hearing from artists based anywhere in the world. You should have some experience of working with performance.Artists are not eligible to apply if we’re presenting you in a live performance as part of Edinburgh Showcase 2017, or if we’re giving you an individual platform in one of this year’s Showcase wraparound events. However, artists who have taken part in previous Edinburgh Showcase events are welcome to apply.
We will commission six artists to write a short text describing an imaginary performance to take place on Arthur’s Seat, overlooking Edinburgh in 20 years’ time. Together, these texts will form an imaginary festival. We will publish them on beautiful cards, each with a bespoke illustration, and distribute them at events throughout the Edinburgh Showcase, which takes place on 21–26 August 2017 alongside the Edinburgh Festivals. We’ll also share them online.
For artists, this is an opportunity to reach international theatre audiences and a chance to take part in a shared experience with other practitioners who you might otherwise be unable to work with. The imaginary performances are never intended to happen in real life, but to exist in our imaginations through the artists’ words.
Why are we doing this? While we celebrate our birthday, we want to think about three things that are important to us: Edinburgh, artist mobility and the future. The founding principles of the Edinburgh Festivals are about providing a meeting point for people from different places to understand each other. With the projects that have been booked through the Edinburgh Showcase over the years, we’ve seen the value of artists exploring new cultures and new places. And as well as remembering the past 20 years, we want to look forwards.

Aomori artist residency | autumn 2017 open call
» culture360.org
Under the program title ‘Here and Beyond’ Aomori Contemporary Art Centre (ACAC) in Japan has an international call for artists in the field of contemporary art to apply for 3-month residencies. Four artists will be selected and residencies start in early September 2017.
Application documents must be submitted BY POST and the applications must reach ACAC no later than May 12, 2017. (by post)
Program Title: “Here and Beyond”
Works of art are not created from nothing. The real world gives more or less clues and influences to them, but they are created going beyond observing the real world. We can understand that the world of thus created works is neither fiction nor fantasy, but another reality that is the inner reality lying beyond reality.While reality is realized as a common perception of society, it is not always identical. Therefore, it is uncertain so as to differ in how it looks and how people perceive it. What and how to extract from reality is important for artists to develop their works. The viewer, on the other hand, standing in front of the work, perceives it and expands imagination based on his or her relationship with reality, personal experiences, etc. Works conceived from ambiguous reality, though visible and intelligible, will become a means for the viewer to share things and matters with others.
This time, we are going to think about the relationship between reality and another reality created by works. We are inviting artists whose works will attract viewers including local people with various messages of new ideas, discoveries, hopes, etc., while they are based on reality that we are facing.
The Aomori Contemporary Art Centre (ACAC), Aomori Public University opened in December 2001 as an artistic institution centered on an ‘Artist in Residence’ (AIR) program. We invite to our facility artists who play an active part in the field of contemporary art. During the residency period, we hold an exhibition and various exchange programs to contribute to the creative life. Through creative activities, presentations, workshops, and lectures by the artist, the aim of the program is to help the audience gain a deeper understanding of art and to promote international exchange.
Therefore, on this AIR program, our aim is not only to support the artist whilst he creates his /her work, but also to use the program as a tool with which to educate the local audience about art. Through the encounters and the interaction between the artists and people in Aomori a new creative space will be born.

I AM KARACHI | open call for design concepts for Peace Walls project
» culture360.org
Open call from I AM KARACHI for artists to submit design concepts for transforming public space walls and facades in the city of Karachi, Pakistan and further develop the Peace Walls concept initiated in 2015.
I AM KARACHI currently works on different elements of a robust program where public facades, walls and pathways are being reclaimed. Public facades and walls are being turned into artworks removing hate filled graffiti, extremist messaging and offer a counter narrative. 480 walls depicting cultural, artistic and community themes were painted across some of the conflict areas of Karachi. The government of Karachi is being lobbied to declare these as modern art heritage of Karachi.
IAK plans to launch another 300 walls in 2017, focussing on areas which have been victim to violence and where peace initiatives are sorely needed. IAK will budget a proportion of its funds for the maintenance of the Peace Walls already in place. These projects involve local community artists and students and will generate much interest and increases outreach. Some of the Walls were commissioned with the help of European artists and in fact painted by them in Karachi.
We are launching an open call to ask local and international artists to further this by asking artists to submit concepts suitable for Pakistan with resonance to Karachi. Currently our Alif ka Qaida (The Urdu alphabet which has a cultural icon or a personality depicted ), our walls depicting Karachi’s eminent figures such as Sabeen Mahmud, Parween Rehman , journalists, activists have garnered great interest.
For the next round we invite interests in converting both vertical and horizontal walls into pieces of art and artists not just to paint but to impart their skills to local artists and artisans to enhance their skill sets. The former under our reclaiming public spaces and the latter as the peace walls countering hate narratives.
Project: The Walls of Peace – Why Karachi?Walls in previously conflict hit areas of the cities, spread out in the 6 districts. Concepts that promote unity, diversity, tolerance, peace. Artwork or concepts are welcomed even from those who are not involved in the actual painting. All the Walls will be repaired prior to art work start up
The Canvas: 12 Walls 8×10 feet – This may vary in some cases / VERTICAL walls will be welcomed
Submission: Maximum of a 4 page submission on outlining `1) Artwork / concept / Design 2) Time line and number of painter(s) 3) Material needed (as accurately as possible) 4) Design and execution costs if any
IAM KARACHI will review all the artwork and concepts. Preference will be given to those adding unique elements to the design.
In the case of vertical walls, artists may be requested to identify walls that they may have considered.
Since artwork is public art the artist must in proposal outline what additional processes or materials will be used to protect the Walls from graffiti, betel /paan juice etc and potential for easy restoration in case of vandalism
All artists will be required to work with young students during the process, teaching them the process or explaining design elements etc. Students may also volunteer in the actual painting under the supervision of the project artist(s)
Submissions to be sent to wallsofpeace@iamkarachi.org
Deadline for submission of concepts: May 15, 2017Project Start-up date: May 25, 2017 onwards

Cemeti | Germany-Indonesia residency call
» culture360.org
Cemeti – Institute for Art and Society, and Goethe-Institut Indonesia are collaborating to invite one artist based in Germany to spend three months at Cemeti in Yogyakarta Indonesia, alongside one Indonesian artist who will be in residence for the same period.
ABOUT CEMETI
Cemeti – Institute for Art and Society is the oldest platform for contemporary art in Indonesia. Now in its 30th year, the artist founders have stepped aside from the day-to-day running of the organization. As a new team takes the helm, they are taking a moment for public reflection to think through alternative possible futures for Cemeti. They are using 2017 to recalibrate, envisioning Cemeti as being “down for maintenance” (like a website), whilst being open to the public. This process takes the form of a dynamic one-year program of exhibitions, workshops, assemblies and working groups called Maintenance Works. By conceptually taking the institution offline, Cemeti hopes to create time and space to ask basic questions about where they are and where they want to go, beginning with: What are the key social and political urgencies in the city, country & region? What is the social and political agency of art practice? What can institutions (of art) do? What is a gallery for? How do we work together?ABOUT THE RESIDENCY
This residency programme encourages an open process of research and knowledge exchange, connecting residents with local artists, crafts people, curators, researchers and academics, but also a diverse range of constituencies from across Yogyakarta. The driving ambition of the residency is to encourage and support artists to connect directly with local communities, and through their work to address key issues at stake in the local context and beyond. During the residency Cemeti will provide a studio and desk space to serve as a base from which to work and venture out across the city. Cemeti’s team will act as a discussion partner throughout with a weekly ‘Breakfast Club’ for the artists to share their interests, questions and concerns. During the course of their stay the artist-in-residence will be asked to participate in several public events. This includes an artist talk, as well as Kamar Tokek (‘gecko room’); an occasional platform for residents to share anything from films, books, artworks and ideas. The residency will culminate in a final presentation, which can take the form of an exhibition, performance, lecture, workshop or anything else that is fitting for the artists’ work and practice.FIELDS AND DATES
Visual arts, with a specific interest in arts and social practice; duration of stay: 3 months from September through November 2017.REQUIREMENTS
Artists working primarily in Germany; English language skills are obligatory.APPLICATION DEADLINE
For the 2017 residency, the application deadline is Tuesday 2nd May 2017.BENEFITS
The Goethe-Institut will cover costs for airfare, visa and airport transfers. They will also provide the artist with a per diem for daily costs, and a budget for production (valued at max. €650,00). In addition the artist will receive a flat fee of €2.100,00. The artist’s accommodation and studio space, as well as a selection of equipment and tools will be provided by Cemeti Institute. Furthermore Cemeti will provide a programme assistant (25 hours / week) to support the artists in their research and production process.The post Cemeti | Germany-Indonesia residency call appeared first on ASEF culture360.asef.org.

Call for Applications: Mobility First! – ASEF Cultural Mobility Initiative
» culture360.org
Are you an artist or cultural professional seeking funding for international travel to attend a conference, residency or training?
When thinking about mobility, people have come to “imagine that mobility is border crossing, as though borders came first, and mobility, second. The truth is more the other way around.” (David Ludden, Maps in the Mind and the Mobility of Asia, 2003)
In the area of arts & culture, we refer to cultural mobility as “the temporary cross-border movement of artists and other cultural professionals. Certain forms of mobility relate to the individual (e.g. networking, residencies etc.); others are intrinsically connected to the mobility of works or performances in another country. (…) Mobility is not only understood as occasional movements across national borders that may be useful to gain professional experience required for career advancement, as well as advance artistic endeavour, but more as an integral part of the regular work life of artists and other cultural professionals.” (From Ericarts, Mobility Matters, 2008)
In recognising how integral mobility is for artists and cultural professionals, the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) launches Mobility First! Through this new initiative, ASEF supports the mobility of artists and cultural professionals for cross-border activities that include participation in events, networking, research and collaborative meetings. Mobility support is provided to selected individuals for travel from Asia to Europe, Europe to Asia & within Asia.
Mobility First! Is being launched to commemorate ASEF’s 20th anniversary in 2017 and builds on ASEF’s support to mobility over the last 20 years. Through Mobility First!, ASEF seeks to reaffirm the importance of face–to-face encounters not only in knowledge and experience sharing, but also in setting up long-term alliances and partnerships based on trust, reciprocity and fair exchange.
Who can apply?Individuals & organisations actively involved in the field of arts & culture who are eligible as per following guidelines:
IndividualsArtists & cultural professionals from any artistic genre (such as visual arts, performing arts, film, heritage etc.) may apply.
Artists are defined as those directly involved in the production of artworks in any genre of the arts.
Cultural professionals are defined as others working in the field of arts & culture such as curators, arts writers (including critics), arts managers, researchers etc.
Applicants should be citizens of member countries of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) and seek support for travel within the ASEM region.
Applicants may seek travel support to participate in any of the 7 types of eligible activities listed below in the section on What types of activities are supported?
OrganisationsCultural organisations may apply to become ASEF’s partners; selected organisations will co-select individuals who will receive support to attend specific events organised by the partner (e.g. arts festivals, conferences). Selected partner organisations are expected organise the event as well as provide selected persons with local contacts and context. For example, an arts organisation organising a photography festival may wish to apply to Mobility First! and together with ASEF, will co-select 4 photographers who will be given ASEF’s support to be present at the festival.
Cultural organisations that operate in any artistic or cultural genre may apply. Non profit arts organisations will be prioritised.
Cultural organisations should be based in any of the ASEM member countries and operating in the ASEM region (nationally or bi-regionally)
Organisations should be applying for travel support for individuals to participate in any of the 7 types of eligible activities listed below in the section on What types of activities are supported?

- Participation in workshops, conferences, festivals, biennales, networking sessions
- Participation in artists’/writers’ residencies

- ‘Go and see’ or short-term exploration visits
- Participation in practice-led research
- Participation in partner meeting/s for exchanges and collaboration (to set up new cross-border collaborations)

London, Asia research award call
» culture360.org
Asia Art Archive (AAA, Hong Kong) and the Paul">[http%3A%2F%2Fwww.paul-mellon-centre.ac.uk%2F">Paul] Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art (PMC, London) are delighted to announce a new research award connected with the collaborative project London,">[http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aaa.org.hk%2FLondonAsia">London,] Asia.
The London, Asia project posits London as a key, yet under-explored site in the construction of art historical narratives in Asia, and examines its influence through exhibitions, patronage, art writing, and art education. It also reflects on how the growing field of modern and contemporary art history in Asia intersects with and challenges existing histories of British art.
Through this three-year period AAA and the PMC will collaborate on a series of discussions, events, and programmes, in addition to archival and digital projects. It will reach out to a broader community of interest to shape and realise these initiatives, and we anticipate the collaborative development of a repository of digitised materials, filmed conversations, oral histories, and texts that will be made available as open-access resources.
Key research strands include:
Exhibition histories
Institutions (such as the British Council and the Commonwealth Institute)
Art schools and pedagogy
Art writingThe second phase of London, Asia will explore the institutions and institutional histories that are key to shaping a more nuanced understanding of the cultural entanglements between London and Asia across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Like exhibitions, institutions produce multi-layered and multi-temporal histories. They are nodes within a complex web of connections. In thinking about the role that institutions have played in forging these connections, we can cut across different time periods, bringing together a range of people, objects, materials, and approaches.
The award will be granted to one successful applicant to facilitate research on the ‘Institutions and Institutional Histories’ strand of London, Asia. The successful grant holder is expected to visit both AAA (Hong Kong) & the PMC (London) to engage with the staff and research communities at both institutions.
The award is an honorarium of $10,000 (USD) which will be made in two payments (one payment at the beginning of the award and one at the end). The project should be completed in six months from the time the award is made.
The successful award holder will research a specific institution or institutional history, or a particularly pertinent time period within an institution’s history, that is relevant to London, Asia.

Lahore Biennale | call for proposals
» culture360.org
Lahore Biennale 01, scheduled for spring 2018, is pleased to announce the Open Call for Proposals. The call has two stages – stage 1 applications to be received by 4th April.
Applicants are invited to describe the (creative) idea you would like to implement given the opportunity. Describe without limiting yourself to the arts. This does not necessarily have to be your final idea for the biennale. You will be sharing your final idea in the next stage if shortlisted.
The Lahore Biennale Foundation (LBF) is a non-profit organization that seeks to provide critical sites for experimentation in visual expression and experience, hoping to challenge and expand the scope of both. Thus, the LBF focuses on the many stages of production, experience and appreciation of art in all its forms. The Foundation is committed to the potential of art as an instrument of important social critique. It operates in awareness of possible public(s) and location(s) but is global in aspiration: It values public investment and considers the specificity of geographical and social context in establishing the legitimacy of its functions but does not pander to preconceived tropes of the ‘vernacular.’
To this end, the LBF endeavors to actively support art related projects across Pakistan, and will also host the Lahore Biennale every two years. Underlying this work will be experimentation, research, conversation and publication related to the arts; collaborative outreach and learning opportunities; and cultural exchange, including facilitating artist residencies.

Hong Kong | call for papers on art periodicals across Asia
» culture360.org
CALL FOR PAPERS: Symposium | It Begins with a Story: Artists, Writers, and Periodicals in Asia. This symposium on art periodicals in Asia across the 20th century will be organised in Hong Kong 11-13 January 2018, co-organised by Asia Art Archive in collaboration with The University of Hong Kong.
Deadline is EXTENDED to 25 April 2017This symposium asks how periodicals in Asia across the 20th century have fostered conversations about art and emergent forms of visuality. We are interested in how periodicals constitute genealogies of language and nomenclatures around the modern, the contemporary, the indigenous, the nation, arts and crafts, and tradition.
Light, affordable, and foldable, periodicals travelled with unprecedented speed from writer and artist to printer, and from mail service to reader. These circuits of ideas, practices, and readerships created (and were created by) new sites of experimentation in print technologies, illustration, graphic design, and forms literary and artistic. Their portability opened possibilities for the translation and transposition of ideas across media, language, culture, and geography.
‘Periodical time’—the monthly, the fortnightly, the weekly, or at times, the single issue—became a way of serving and forming diverse publics, with spaces including popular, cultural, and literary magazines; newspapers; self-published zines; artist-run magazines; and journals.
For some artists and intellectuals, the print platform remains appealing for its visual, archival, discursive, and dissemination functions. We seek to understand how periodicals map, compile, translate, and republish texts as they define what it means to be modern and contemporary in specific locales.
This symposium invites contributions anchored around periodicals from Asia published between 1900 to the present.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
1. How did periodicals in Asia shape and disseminate debates around discourses on modernism, aesthetics, the avant-garde, and the contemporary? How were these related to broader affinities such as those of the non-West, the post-colonial, the indigenous, or the alternative?
2. How might we chart the contexts and economies of their production, conditions of publication, circuits of distribution, and networks of readership? What kinds of material content and collection did the form of the periodical make possible?
3. In what ways did periodicals serve as sites of exhibition? What were the languages of visuality constituted within them via images of artwork, advertisements, covers, design and typography, and the very form of the periodical?
4. What intersections between art and writing did periodicals enable? How did the periodical form facilitate experiments in language and new genres of writing? Who were the writers who made significant contributions to periodicals, and what new imaginaries around art did they introduce?
5. What are the implications of digitalisation for the study of periodicals? How has large-scale digitalisation of periodicals opened new ways of seeing, perceiving, annotating, and researching the fields of modern and contemporary art?
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Material may be submitted in English or Chinese. Please submit the following by 25 April 2017, to symposium@aaa.org.hk (use the subject line: Art Periodicals Symposium):
1. A 200-word abstract
2. A two-page curriculum vitae with e-mail, phone number, and mailing addressIncomplete or late submissions will not be considered. Final papers must be in English or Chinese. There may be funding for speakers, subject to availability.
