"Call for Artists: 2 Artists-in-Residences Art/Biotechnology"
2002-08-07 until 2002-09-10
Arts Catalyst, the Science-Art Agency
London, ,
UK United Kingdom
The Arts Catalyst & Gallery Oldham are looking for 2 artists-in-residence,
primarily to lead participatory activities on themes of art/biotechnology: A Media Artist, and A Theatre / Live Art Practitioner. For 15 day residencies during the CLEANROOMS exhibition at Gallery Oldham,
Oldham, Greater Manchester, UK. October / November 2002
Experienced and motivated artists, interested in engaging the public with
issues connected with art and biotechnology, are sought. These residencies
are intended to support the CleanRooms exhibition, which presents art works
that challenge responses to a science often perceived as secretive and
sinister: biotechnology. Exploring ideas of contamination and containment,
ethics and accountability, CleanRooms asks the audience to decide how far
they themselves would go with the emerging powers of genetic manipulation.
For the media artist, half the time can be spent on your own work, utilising
Gallery Oldham’s media facilities, and half the time engaging with the
public.
