Call for Artists: Alexandra Reinhardt Memorial Award 2013
Applications are invited from artists for the 2013 Alexandra Reinhardt Memorial Award residency and commission. The Award, which is worth £12,000, will be hosted by mima, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art. The ten-week artist residency will take place from January to March/April 2013, and will result in a semi-permanent sculptural work incorporating sound, to be installed in mima’s garden. The commission is expected to be completed by June/July 2013 and will become part of mima’s collection. The selected artist/s will be expected to carry out an education programme with schoolchildren, young people and/or families during their residency. They will work closely with mima’s Creative Apprentices.
Who can apply:
More than one artist may undertake the residency together, working in the same or different artforms. If there is only one artist the expectation is that they will be a visual artist. If two artists undertake the residency and commission, one of them should be a visual artist and the other may work as a visual artist or in any other artform.
