ARTLAB 2008

The Inter-Arts Office of the Australia Council for the Arts is
pleased to announce another funding round for its ArtLab initiative
with a closing date of 14 December for projects commencing in 2008.

ArtLab aims to foster experimentation and collaboration between
artists from multiple disciplines to explore new artistic practice.
It aims to establish an environment that encourages genre-crossing
collaborations and the creation of original, cross-media arts
projects with emphasis placed upon innovation, risk, artistic
integrity and the creation of new ideas.

While ArtLab aims to promote the importance of research and
development activity and provide artists with time to critically
explore aspects of their practice, the project may involve
presentation of work in progress or seek peer feedback via some other
public forum.

The main objectives of the program, however, are to provide a
significant opportunity for:

New collaborations between artists that explore creative risk-taking
and experimental practice
Promoting the importance and critical role of research and
development and experimental practice in the arts to a wide audience.

The Inter-Arts Office is offering a grant of $75,000 for new
collaborations between artists to engage in this significant period
of interdisciplinary research and creative development.

Application closing date:

14 December 2007.

The ‘Rencontres Internationales’ offer more than
a simple presentation of the works. They
introduce an intercultural forum gathering
various guests from all over the world - artists
and filmmakers, institutions and emerging
organisations - to testify of the vivacity of
creation and its distribution, but also of the
artistic and cultural contexts that often are
experiencing deep changes. The festival reflects
specificities and crossings of art practices
between new cinema and contemporary art, explores
media art practices and their critical purposes,
and work out this necessary time when points of
view meet and are exchanged.
The festival aims at presenting those works to a
broad audience, at creating circulations between
different art practices and between different
audiences, as well as creating new exchanges
between artists, filmmakers and professionals.
The ‘Rencontres Internationales
Paris/Berlin/Madrid’, an event without
competition, are supported by French, German,
Spanish and international cultural institutions. http://art-action.org/en_soutien.htm

INFORMATION to creative organizations, art
networks, production companies, artists and
filmmakers you are in contact with.

Best wishes.
