17/03/2019 - 10:34 Netherlands	OT301 is looking for new members to join the collective 2 studios have become available in the OT301 which means we're looking for a new member to join our collective! Deadline for applications is APRIL 1st 2019. The Studio is available from July 1st 2019. Apply or enquire VIA EMAIL ONLY to: otresidency [op] gmail [punt] com DO NOT apply if you are looking for a living space We, the OT301 collective EHBK, are looking for a member who wants to join us from July 2019. We are looking for someone who chooses to work in a context with other people and likes to contribute to the preservation of our property. An individual (or collective) with their own plan and independency, but who also likes to co-operate. Someone who likes to discuss (before conflicts can arise) and has insight into their wishes and boundaries, not afraid to indicate them. About us: The OT301/EHBK is a big adventurous project that started in 1999 when we squatted the building with a group of artists. We squatted the building to create a new platform where artists could live and work together and could work on a public programming that offers a stage to ‘experimental’, ‘new’, ‘alternative’ art, music, film, dance, theatre, workshops and other sorts of performances and shows we choose to put on. Everything we do is based on the fact that we are a creative non-profit organisation. That doesn’t mean that we don’t need money to pay our bills but it means that nobody in our building is making a lot of money and most of the income is used to maintain and develop our building and organisation. Within our building/organisation we have 26 members and all together we share the responsibility to maintain and secure everything that happens in our building. We are not just a place where people rent an office or studio, everybody is expected to contribute to the group because otherwise we can not exist. Besides sharing the responsibility for the building and protecting its vision everybody is working on his/her own projects. Vision (2014-): Since 1998, EHBK has united a diverse, international community that runs the alternative, not-for-profit platform OT301 as a collective, in which housing, work and public functions are combined to contribute to the arts, politics and subculture. EHBK shares knowledge and organizational duties in a democratic manner and encourages all members and visitors to take part in our experiment. About you: If you would like to apply, write us a letter! We like to read who you are, what keeps you busy, what you like, why you want to join. And also what you expect from us and other things that you want to share. Do you have any questions about us? You can email us. SPACE INFO:�33 sq/mrent \| € 283.59 including energy and internet \| only one smallish window ** OT301 is a legalized squat encompassing a mix of non-commercial, (sub)cultural, artistic and activist projects and people. It is owned and run by a collective. All renters are members of the collective and must play an active part in keeping the OT301 running. Amongst other things, this means participating in regular house-meetings and taking responsibilities for various tasks in working groups (min 40 hour x year). APPLICATION GUIDELINES: - Please give a description of what you do, why you need a studio and why here (why you would like to join our collective -max. 500 words-). Include documentation, text, images, links and cv. - Applications also need to include a project, plan or approach of how you would integrate into the building and organization (max. 300 words). STUDIO SUITABLE AS:�artists studio (visual/multi-media/textile/ceramic, etc) or activist/artist office space. The studio can be shared and a joint application is possible. NOT SUITABLE FOR: loud noise (in order to respect the levels of sound pollution in both the building and the neighborhood). As with all spaces within the OT301, the studio itself isn't completely insulated from noise/sound made in other parts of the building either, so you'd need to be ok with this. It is NOT possible to live there. Send applications to: otresidency [op] gmail [punt] com email: otresidency [at] gmail.com website: http://WWW.OT301.NL

14/03/2019 - 16:33 United States	TALK BACK an exhibition for and with artists and organizers with disabilities TALK BACK seeks to center the lives and leadership of disabled artists and asserts that deep-rooted cultural changes must be made within the art world to become more inclusive and accessible. TALK BACK believes that disability must be included in conversations about diversity. One part of affecting change in the art world is by placing disabled artists in positions of influence within the arts to influence change from within. TALK BACK focuses on how contemporary artists with disabilities are presenting their work and invites disabled artists to submit work that dismantles systems of ableism, either overtly or quietly. How do we examine, interrogate, and resist ableist and classists systems inside the art world? How can we employ the art world to examine social and cultural systems that surround disability outside the art world? TALK BACK imagines a reality yet to exist, shifts able-normativity assumptions that every body is able-bodied, illuminates non-binary futures from able to disabled and debunks disability and “heroism”. TALK BACK envisions and celebrates joy, radical care, sovereign bodies, community building, non-verbal and alternative forms of communication. TALK BACK disrupts through quiet protest, individual, overt and mass protest that includes multiple ways of showing up. TALK BACK works within and against capitalistism, classism and medical ableism to redefine value, productivity and worth. TALK BACK makes room for criticism, restoration liberation, coming out, ownership of one’s mind and body, access demands, intersectionality and utopias to offer multiple entry points to TALK BACK. TALK BACK invites proposals for workshops, performances, gatherings, walks, spoken word, screenings, visual arts, video, sound works, DIY, panels, grassroots, poetry, books, installations, zines, artist talks, performance lectures, discussions, events, collaborations with your caregiver, allies, advocates, support and service animals. Please know that TALK BACK is an an open call for artists and organizers with disabilities. Important TALK BACK dates to note: Open Call Closes: March 18 Installation Dates: May 6th – 8th Opening Date: Thursday May 9th Closing Date: June 2nd Deinstallation Date: June 3rd and 4th Application Requirements: - Name, Location - Personal Narrative (200 words) - Artist Statement (200 words) - Proposal (500 words) - Access Needs - CV Participants will receive a small honorarium for their work and limited access to Materials for the Arts.

Call released: February 22, 2019 Deadline to respond to Call for Artists : April 1, 2019 Budget: $250,000 Project Context: Sunset Neighborhood Park will be a new 3.1 acre park located east of I-405 and north of NE Sunset Boulevard in the Sunset Area of Renton. The future park will be a gateway facility for the Sunset Area and a catalyst for transforming a part of the City that is working to overcome academic, health care, public safety, and socio-economic challenges. The new park will provide multiple benefits including: social gathering spaces, performance venues for local residents and visitors, education opportunities, increased property values, increased jobs, economic growth and vitality, and opportunities for physical and healthy living. The first phase of the project was completed in June 2018 with the construction of a restroom, rain gardens, walkways, pergolas, and other site amenities. The second phase of the project is currently under design and is scheduled to start in Spring 2019 with a projected completion date in Summer 2020. Design per the Phase II Master Plan will include two playgrounds, picnic and fitness areas, an interactive water feature, picnic and fitness areas, a gazebo, additional walkways, a pergola with seating, and the addition of the art alluded to in this request. Emerging from a broad public involvement process several years ago, the future park design incorporates active and passive recreation and environmental education opportunities. Park design elements include adult fitness equipment, two children’s play areas, a looped circulation/path system with mile markers, a water feature, picnic areas, a picnic gazebo with tables, performance seating/open space lawn area with pergola and benches, a restroom building with notice boards, art locations, and interpretive signs. The Park Master Plan can be found on the City's webpage. This Call for Artists is a project that the City of Renton, via the Renton Municipal Arts Commission, is commissioning as part of the new construction of the Sunset Neighborhood Park. This Call for Artists has a budget of $250,000 and is for a site-specific, impactful, focal design feature. The art is to be located on parks grounds (in one or more of the potential sites), the design of which should enrich the connection between the neighborhood park and the rich and diverse surrounding Sunset and Highlands communities.
