Disonancias - call for artists to work with companies/research centres in
Basque Country, Spain (deadline: 3 Oct)


Call for artists to work on joint research projects in 9 companies and
investigation centres in Spain.

Deadline for applications: 3 October 2007, 9 am
Collaboration period: from November 2007 to July 2008 (9 months)

DISONANCIAS is pleased to announce the call for proposals from
international artists to work on joint research projects with heads of
R&D&I in companies and research centres located in the Basque Country
(Spain).

DISONANCIAS is a platform that promotes relationships between artists and
companies, research centres or public organisations in order to foster
innovation in all its aspects and transmit to society the importance of
developing creative environments.

Artists are requested to develop a prototype, procedure or idea based on a
framework predefined by one of the nine participating entity: DORLET,
EiTB, FUNDACIÓN IKERTIA, GRUPO SARKIS/LAGUNKETA, IMAR, LANIK, LANTEGI
BATUAK, POLO GARAIA and TECNALIA. The concepts they want to investigate
can be grouped in two main fields:

- concepts dealing with the organisation of territory and ways of
interrelating people and resources: sustainable urban environment models
(TECNALIA), ways of relating between disabled people integrated into the
job market and their social network (LANTEGI BATUAK) or the
interrelationship dynamics between the members of an technological park
(POLO GARAIA);

- technological or material application/developments: most of the
researches in this section deal with architecture and urban issues:
domotics (DORLET), interactive urban furniture (IMAR), environmental
architecture (GRUPO SARKIS/LAGUNKETA), transformable architecture (LANIK),
or health emergency in public spaces (FUNDACIÓN IKERTIA).

In the special case of EiTB (Basque Radio and Television), the artist(s)
is requested to research into the documentary format based on the creation
of an audiovisual work dealing with all the collaboration projects.

The submitted proposals will be examined by an international jury
comprising Cecilia Andersson, Bronac Ferran, Jose Pérez de Lama and Juan
Mari Uzkudun. The final decision will be taken by the hosting entities and
will be communicated at the end of October 2007.

DISONANCIAS gives priority to the involvement of artists:
• interested in working around the interaction between different social
and cultural systems and projects that favour group work;
• who use science or technology as a basis for their work, or who reflect
upon it.

The call is open to artists working with any type of medium and in any
discipline, either individually or as a group. There is no limit on age,
nationality or place of residence.

The selected artists or group of artists will each receive the amount of
8,000 net euros as a fee for the work carried out and for their travel and
accommodation costs. The costs that may be generated in the development of
the research work and associated with external companies and suppliers
should not exceed 5,000 euros + VAT, and they should be previously
approved by the hosting entity.
