Slow Art Progress: Artists Brief and Placement Artists Brief
Deadline: April 12, 2010, 5:00 pm
This commission is for an artist to work in collaboration with Chrysalis Arts to create a new piece of work: a prototype transportable public art installation which draws on the experience and ethos of the Slow Art Trail but which will reach a wider audience by being sited at a number of different events around North Yorkshire.
We intend to develop a series of such artworks over the next three years, by commissioning up to six artworks from regional, national and international artists specialising in sustainable/climate change public art.
The size and scope of the prototype work will be defined in partnership with the appointed artist. There is also a fee available for a less experienced artist to work on placement on the project. The key criteria is -
- It is high quality art
- Challenges perceptions about art, sustainability & climate change
- Help evolve the concept for Slow Art Progress Adheres to sustainability issues and environmentally responsible art practice: including sourcing and selecting low impact materials, minimising transport, decommissioning etc, (see website www.pasaguidelines.org for more information)
- Reflects on the slow concept of taking more time to appreciate art and life
