CALL FOR SCULPTURE INSTALLATIONS – TAIWAN
 | Deadline: 8th of february 2012
Artists from all countries are invited to send a proposal for a site-specific outdoor sculpture installation to be created during a 25-day artist in residency in a small rural village in Taiwan. This year the selected artists will work with elementary school children and community residents to create large-scale sculpture installations focused on the theme of “What’s for Dinner?” The artworks will reflect on environmental issues surrounding food production and emphasize organic aquaculture. In this community the main occupation of the villagers is traditional fish farming and the production of clams, shrimp and milk fish. The artworks will be made with recycled and natural materials that are part of the daily lives of the village residents. The artworks should be made to last for two years or more. Date of the Installation and Residency: April 12 (artists arrive) – May 7, 2012 (artists depart). Dates of the Exhibition: May 4, 2012 (opening ceremony), May 5 and 6 – Opening weekend activities with the artists. The exhibition will stay on display through 2012. Selected Artists will receive the following:
- Artist’s fee of NT50,000 (about US$1,662.12) for creating the artwork
- Round trip economy airfare
- 25 days of accommodations in a local house with other international and Taiwanese artists. The houses will have a bedroom for each artist and a shared bathroom and kitchen for preparing meals.
- Meals
- Local transportation
- Volunteer help from school children and adults in the community to create the artworks.
- Help to find local recycled materials and natural materials to make the artworks. Oyster shells are probably the most commonly available material, but reeds, bamboo, tree branches, old fishing nets, plastic bottles, lumber, metal parts and other materials may also be available. Artists should use only natural and recycled materials and processes that will not harm the environment and encourage sustainability.
