The Nomadic Village UK
CALL FOR PROPOSALS

www.isisarts.org.uk
*
May 21st - June 3rd 2012
County Durham, North-East England
*
*Deadline for Applications: Monday 28th November 2011
**
**Klaus Maehring and his Steyr-Ikarus Bus, which will form the centre piece
of the Nomadic Village, County Durham
**
ISIS Arts *and* Klaus Maehring *are pleased to announce the call for artists
for our upcoming project, The Nomadic Village 2012. The Nomadic Village is a
temporary 10-day settlement set up on a vacant lot in County Durham, UK. The
nomadic artists’ mobile homes/ateliers will form the structure of the
Village, with On The Road Productions’ (ORP) Steyr-Ikarus bus acting as its
townhall. Artists will come together to work in this autonomous environment
to stimulate creativity and exchange, and attract local people to observe
and participate in the process. At the end of the Village there will be a
public exhibition/show that will invite a wider audience to appreciate the
works produced during the Village. The project was conceived by Klaus
Maehring (Lead Artist and founder) from ORP/Austria.
The Nomadic Village UK 2012 is produced in collaboration with ISIS Arts
(Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) and supported by Durham County Arts Team. It will
seek to invite nomadic artists from all over the world, whose practice is
rooted in themes surrounding nomadism; those who intentionally displace
themselves to seek encounters that not only influence their work but form
it; artists who work without borders and constantly respond to situations,
places and people along their journey. The Nomadic Village will act as a
platform for artists working in this manner, ultimately creating a wider,
more visible network for nomadic artists.
*How to Apply:
*This call is open to artists from all over the world, who preferably come
with their own mobile space to live and work in (but this is not obligatory
as we will provide some accommodation). To apply please send us a
description of the project you would like to realise at the Nomadic Village,
an artist bio/statement and CV. Include supporting material/documentation of
previous work, either attached to email or send us web links. Make sure we
get an idea about who you are, your artistic practice, who is involved and
what kind of mobile structure you will travel/work/live in. Let us know if
for some reason you can’t come with your own vehicle; we might be able to
provide you with a space. The Nomadic Village provides the site,
infrastructure and food but does not pay for artists coming to the Village.
However, if your travel costs are especially high, e.g. if you are coming
with a big diesel hungry truck or flying from far away, you can apply to the
Dizel Grant (see our website for further details).
We highly encourage you to contact us to talk about your proposal ideas,
mobile space and travel arrangements before submitting an application - just
for an informal chat, remember the deadline for submissions is Monday 28th
November-so make sure you leave enough time to contact us.
