Two events at MADE: What are the Splacists? // Who are the Splacists?

Posted: 29 Oct 2011 03:15 AM PDT

bursaries for architects

MADE are offering five bursaries of £200 to enable architects to participate in the 'What are the Splacists' CPD day on the 30th of November

Some time ago I was approached by MADE – an architecture and built environment centre based in Birmingham – to design and deliver a day of CPD for the cohort of artists on their 'Learning Spaces Living Places 2′ programme.

Plans are now well and truly afoot for this and we're so excited about it we're opening up the day to a limited number of architects interested in collaborating with artists. Further information can be found at http://www.made.org.uk/news/view/bursaries_for_architects_available/, please email anthony@made.org.uk to register your interest.

Alongside the daytime activities where we'll be questioning exactly what the Splacist manifesto might mean in practice, there's an evening event open to all interested in this sort of work.

It's difficult to pin down exactly what we mean by "this sort of work". On the MADE blog posts it's illustrated by Mr Pete Ashton stood in an alleyway gently holding a bundle of bubblewrap that vibrates in response to GPS data. This indeterminacy is in part why we felt the need to write the manifesto: to try and begin to mark out the territory…

So, to be part of the conversation, please do join us:

Who are the Splacists? // 5:45pm – 8:00pm // MADE 7, Newhall Square, Birmingham. B3 1RU // Free, registration required

We'll be describing the context and development of the Splacist manifesto as well as reporting back on the outcomes of the daytime experiments. We will also be presenting an as yet unknown thing…

MADE have commissioned Hannah Nicklin and I to make a work in response to the manifesto. This is all very exciting for a number of reasons!

In the weeks leading up to the 30th of November, Hannah and I will be challenging ourselves to put our art where our mouths are and make a Splacist work. In three days.

We don't yet know what will emerge from this collaboration, but we're very much looking forward to finding out! If you bring warm clothes suitable for the weather, we'll provide the talking points and a few mulled somethings. Please register here so we know how many people are coming: http://www.stubmatic.com/made/event/6899

We will own this city.
We will take it back.
We will link and shift; across time, space, people, places and processes
We will weave throughout the fabric of people's lives.
We will unpick it.

We will affect and be affected.
We will glory in the moment, the collage, the marking and then passing on.

We reject your shopping centre, your pavement, your cultural quarter;
We will under mine pre-defined spaces. We reject them.

We will reclaim the city, not for you, but with you.
We are you.

73 Market St Newark NJ
About the Residency:
Residents will be awarded studios, each approximately 900 sq ft, for 6
months, with 24 hr access, access to visiting curators and other
gallery directors, a solo exhibition in our project space, and
inclusion in an end-of-program catalog highlighting their work over
the length of the  residency. The current Gallery Aferro building can
accommodate up to 6 artists at a time. Artists will be selected on the
basis of quality of work, commitment to their field, demonstrated
need, and the ability to interact positively with the community at
large.
Alumni Gallery Aferro Studio residents have commented that the chance
for informal networking with local, national and international peers
afforded by residency was one of the best aspects of their experience,
with self-organized activities such as collaborative projects and
critique sessions. Also mentioned by residents consistently as a
unique and valuable aspect of the program was temporary ownership of a
platform to interact with the public.
The Studios:
The studios are strictly work only spaces. The studios are raw spaces
with minimal amenities. Artists who are accepted into the program must
be prepared to actively use their studio. Residencies will begin on
February 20, 2012 and end August 20, 2012.
Artist Responsibilities:
$225 a month fee. In addition, artists must utilize their studios a
minimum of 40 hours per month, and contribute a minimum of 3 blog
posts to the studio blog during the residency period.
Eligibility:
There is no residency restriction for applicants. Artists in any media
may apply. Please contact us with any questions about your
application, our space or what you might want to do with your time at
Gallery Aferro.
