Description of Residency

The Writers/Digital Media Residency is based at ArtFunkl, Manchester and runs alongside the already established Artists residency programme. It is aimed at providing a quiet, self contained place for Writers or Digital Media Artists to facilitate a period of concentrated production. Writers/Artists taking part in this residency will be able to be part of the small community of ArtFunkl if desired, but also have the option of being solitary and quiet.

The accommodation for the writers residency is in a large quiet room on the garden side of the property. The room is divided into Sleeping and Working areas, and it is very flexible how these can be arranged. For Digital Media Artists access to a digital projector can be arranged if required.

The Special Residency project is aimed at people who would like a period of calm in order to carry out a substantial body of work, but would still like to be able to dip into the vibrant city life of Manchester from time to time.

You will:

Have space and time to work on your own project.

Have the opportunity to launch a piece of work, carry out a book reading, or other promotional activity at the Open Studio event (which is an ongoing part of the ArtFunkl Artists Residency programme)

Be actively involved in making contacts and promoting your work

Attend Art events in the local area if wished.

Series: Metamorphosis
Residencies: 03, 04 & 05

Timescales

Metamorphosis 03 – 6 weeks from 12 June 2012 – 24 July 2012

Metamorphosis 04 – 6 weeks from 26 July – 6 September 2012

Metamorphosis 05 – 6 weeks from 10 September – 22 October 2012

Description of Residency

The Metamorphosis series of residencies is conceived of as a regenerative development following on from the success of the first residency programmes at ArtFunkl. It is aimed at artists who are enthusiastic about working within the Manchester environment, and who are energetic about making connections in this context.

The Metamorphosis residency is an opportunity for artists to confront new ideas, or experiment with their work, unrestricted by any formal or commercial considerations, over a 6 week duration.

Manchester has a very active art world, as well as an active cultural life in other creative fields, such as entertainment. The aim of the Metamorphosis Residency is to allow artists to absorb and use this dynamic, while reviewing their past thinking, and experimenting beyond what they have already achieved.

You will:

Have space and time to work on your own project.
Show your work during the final week of the residency in an event to be formulated during the residency
Be involved in devising and constructing the exhibition space for showing your work

Residency in Valencia

Duration: 1 – 31 May 2012

ArtFunkl is pleased to offer artists a special residency opportunity for a 1 month stay in the beautiful  western Mediterranean city of Valencia, Spain.

Description of Residency

The residency in Valencia is part of a new programme “Special Projects”. These are one-off residencies orchestrated by ArtFunkl in collaboration with other artists, curators or studio groups. The objective of these residencies is to open up the scope of the network of artists ArtFunkl hosts. Artists who take part in these special residencies will have a page on the ArtFunkl website, alongside the artists who have carried out their residency in Manchester.

Valencia is a city immersed in layers of history leading up to the present day. Ancient buildings are positioned side by side with the most modern up to date examples of Architecture, and is it this contrast which gives Valencia it’s sense of intrigue and dynamic.

For this project ArtFunkl is looking for artists who believe that a chance to absorb the energy of this fascinating city would benefit their practice.

Accommodation is in a comfortable apartment on the edge of the city centre. The apartment has a double bedroom, and a single bedroom/study room which can be set up as a studio space.

The residency is most suitable for writers, or artists who work with digital media, since there is no separate studio space included.

Please note there is no Wifi connection in the building, but internet access can be found in many bars and cafes in the city centre.

Fees

The cost of this residency is £750 for the month of May 2012. This includes all household bills.

For application details and forms, see below.

Artists in Residence – Sophie Graniou and Ding Ren (29th August – 9th October 2011)

Open Studio 6 October 2011

6 – 8pm

Sophie Graniou’s fascination for the supernatural has lead her on a trail to track down sites where haunted happenings have taken place in the Manchester area. Her installation work created at ArtFunkl draws together her findings, and seeks to recreate the sites, sounds, and emotions of the experiences she has documented.

Food, specifically sustainable production and associated supply channels, have been the focus of research carried out by Ding Ren during her residency in Manchester. Ding set out to gain an overview of how the geographical elements of the area influence the infra-structure of environmentally conscious food production. Using the conclusions of this investigation, she has drawn a comparative cultural study of this sector which encompasses the local environment in Greater Manchester, and other places in the world she has previously documented.

Deadline Monday 10 October 2011, 6pm (UK time)

Residency 8: Metamorphosis 01

Timescale: 6 weeks from 1 November 2011

(1 November – 13 December 2011)

Description of Residency

ArtFunkl is looking for adventurous, enthusiastic people who would like to visit Manchester during the pre-Christmas season, and experience the city at a time when there is an intense amount of activity, both in the Art World, and in the social scene in general.

Metamorphosis 01 residency is an opportunity for artists to confront new ideas, or regeneration of their work over a 6 week duration. This is regarded as a period of exploration without any pressure, with a completely open brief for how the work should be shown at the end of the residency.

Towards the end of the year there is a vibrant energy in Manchester; people conclude projects they have been working on over the year, and come to points of pause as the New Year approaches. The aim of the Metamorphosis Residency is to allow artists to absorb and use this dynamic, while reviewing their past thinking, and experimenting beyond what they have already achieved.

You will:

Have space and time to work on your own project.

Show your work during the final week of the residency in an event to be formulated during the residency

Be involved in devising and constructing the exhibition space for showing your work

Be actively involved in making contacts and promoting the work.

Residency 8: Morphallaxis 07

Timescale: 6 weeks from 25 October 2011

Residency 9: Morphallaxis 08

Timescale: 6 weeks from 9 January 2012

Residency 10: Morphallaxis 09

Timescale: 6 weeks from 23 February 2012

Description of Residency

The Morphallaxis series of 6 week long artist residencies has been devised as a means to progress ideas inaugurated in previous projects, both those related to the artist’s personal practice, and those which have emerged through the ArtFunkl programme.

The main focus of this residency programme is to explore the use of the ArtFunkl concept, both as a venue for producing and exhibiting work, and as a source for generating projects elsewhere in the city of Manchester and its vicinity.

Previous artists in residence have employed specific attitudes towards the cultural, historical and creative structures of Manchester, and used these as generating factors. This has resulted in work which has a resonance to the surroundings, and connects with the practices of other artists in the area. ArtFunkl‘s aim with the Morphallaxis programme is to uncover, re-invent, and re-imagine artistic practice, relevant to the contemporary debate regarding Visual Art in the Manchester context.

You will:

Have space and time to work on your own project.

Show your work during the final week of the residency in an Open Studio event

Be involved in devising and constructing the exhibition space for your Open Studio

Be actively involved in making contacts and promoting the work.

Have the opportunity to host gatherings or social events at the venue.

Room Fees:

Room 1: £375 (per 4 week period)

Room 2: £325 (per 4 week period)

See A Place for Art(ists) to Live and Work for more information on accommodation provided.

Artists in Residence Paula Petroll and Danielle O’Malley

Morphallaxis 05 Residency, 16 July – 27 August 2011

Open Studio Private View – 6 – 9pm on Thursday 25 August 2011

Working in many different media, Danielle O’Malley draws inspiration from traditions of American and European folklore. She adds a contemporary overlay to this, using collage to piece together eclectic tableaux of characters and situations, which sweetly build a dark imaginary world. This realm inhabits a shadowy and slightly sinister area somewhere between consciousness and dream.
The work of Paula Petroll is focused on a development towards the realization of pure form, referencing nothing and beholden only to itself. Paula’s interest in space, time and geometry is expressed in the position and intensity of the lines she chooses. She builds these into worlds within worlds, which have a sense of constant unfolding in a process of continuous expansion.

Deadline Friday 23 September 2011, 6pm (UK time)
