International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory

Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen
Innsbruck, Austria

Website: www.buchsenhausen.at
Deadline for Applications: January 29, 2010 (postmark)

Call For Applications for a Fellowship 2010-2011
Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen invites visual and media artists, art critics, theorists, and curators to apply for a fellowship in 2010–2011. Candidates can apply for one or two semesters (October 1, 2010 – February 18, 2011 and/or February 21 – July 8, 2011).

Institution
Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen is a post-graduate center for production, research, exchange in the fields of visual arts and art theory. Within the framework of the International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory, the Künstlerhaus provides a platform that facilitates the development and production of artistic and art-theoretical projects in a critical context. At the same time, Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen offers a forum for direct exchange between professionals – artists, theoreticians, critics, and curators – from the region and abroad, as well as a point of interaction with local interested audiences. Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen is affiliated with the Tyrolean Artists’ Association, the major association of visual artists from the region.

Büchsenhausen brings together two programs under one roof. On the one hand, it is the site of the International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory. On the other hand, it is the location of several studios for artists based in Tyrol, who require space for working in a professionally interesting environment.

Fellowship Program
With its International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory, Büchsenhausen promotes internationally relevant artistic production, research, and discussion in the region of Tyrol. The program is based on the idea of generating and maintaining a context for production and discussion, in which artists and theorists can connect and reflect on international art and societal discourses in relation to local topics and issues. At the same time, it affords the opportunity for an artistic laboratory of experimentation, where new artistic practices and strategies may be tried out.

The program’s aims are:
* To improve the production of a qualified discourse on art and society in the local and global context;
* To improve exchange between cultural producers in the visual arts and beyond (creating a network of experts);
* To support and expand the critical, socially relevant artistic and art-theoretical production of knowledge;
* To facilitate the transfer of knowledge between the art field and the public outside the art context.

The program brings together the advantages of a residency with the possibilities of a postgraduate non-university lectureship, without offering a formalized educational program. In terms of content, the program addresses both the interested public in the region as well as a worldwide public made up of professionals in the fields of contemporary art, architecture, art and media theory and criticism.

The fellows are selected by a jury of experts following an open call for applications. They come to Büchsenhausen for one or two semesters to work on realizing their submitted projects or research, and accompany this process with public events. For this purpose, Büchsenhausen offers a monthly stipend, a production budget, working spaces, free lodging, and artistic and technical advice.

The conveyance and discussion of the fellow’s own work occurs parallel to the development of the individual projects. The public events take place in series. The focus of these series of events is determined by the respective emphases of the various fellows’ works. Within the framework of this discursive format, the fellows (or their guests) can present various points in their research, open up their works-in-progress to critical discussion, interact with experts who they invite, work through content with the public, and/or try out new ways of working.

For former and current fellows and their projects can be found here on this website under the menu item Fellows.

Eligibility
Professional visual/media artists, art theorists, art critics, and curators from all over the world are eligible for the fellowship.

Requirements
The candidates must submit a project proposal. Work on the submitted project forms the core of each fellow’s activities during his/her stay in Büchsenhausen. A description of a series of public events intended to accompany the individual work during the duration of the fellowship (four to six events) is also an integral part of the project proposal. If the application is successful, the fellows are required to specify the details of the presentation series and carry out the proposed program.

Selection
The selection of fellows is made by a jury of experts and based on the quality, originality, and relevance of the project proposal and the work samples submitted by the applicants. The jury includes the director of Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen, a member of the board of the ‘Tyrolean Artists’ Association’ and one external expert.

The selection procedure occurs in two stages. In the first stage, the submitted applications are evaluated and the jury makes a shortlist of candidates who will be invited to Büchsenhausen for personal interviews. The personal interview with the jury forms the second stage. For the interview, the applicants have to come to Innsbruck to personally present their working plans and aims during the fellowship.

For the full text of the call, more information on the application procedure, financial questions, etc. please consult the website or contact us at: office@buchsenhausen.at, phone +43 512 278627, fax -11.

Graduate Fellowship in South Asian Studies, University of Washington, for 2010-2011 (disciplinary area open)

The South Asia Center at the University of Washington announces, with pleasure, the competition for the Frank F. Conlon Fellowship in South Asian Studies. We invite applications from graduate students in all disciplines who are engaged in the study of South Asia and who will be enrolled at the University of Washington during the 2010-2011 academic year. The award will be based on academic merit and financial need.

Professor Emeritus Frank F. Conlon taught history, international studies and comparative religion at the University of Washington from 1968 to 2002. An acknowledged authority in the field of South Asian history, Professor Conlon’s book, _A caste in a changing world : the Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmans, 1700-1935_, has won critical acclaim. Professor Conlon was the Director of the South Asia Center at UW for 12 years and played a key role in establishing the South Asia MA degree and the undergraduate South Asia track at the Jackson School of International Studies. Professor Conlon is a founding member and editor of the online discussion group H-ASIA. He was formerly the President of H-Net and is well known in his continuing volunteer work as an editor for H-ASIA, the interdisciplinary Asian Studies discussion list which he co-founded in 1994. Professor Conlon continues to have  an active research agenda and is working on multiple projects including bringing the story of the Chitrapur Saraswat’s to the present and a history of Bombay.

The Frank F. Conlon Endowed Fellowship in South Asian Studies honors Professor Conlon’s contributions as a memorable teacher, who linked the everyday details of the lives of South Asians to a broad idea of
“civilization” as a dynamic and changing phenomenon that shapes human lives and is shaped by human agency and as a devoted educator, who inspired his students to appreciate their learning about the history and culture of this vital area of the world, both for its inherent importance and as a mirror to a better understanding of their own culture and human legacies. The fellowship is funded by generous donations from Ann and the late Harry Pryde, Marc H.Pryde, Natalie A. Pryde, and Frank and Joan Conlon.

Application Procedures: There are two methods to apply for the Conlon Fellowship.

International students are encouraged to apply. Since they are not eligible for the FLAS they must follow the second method. We note that the Financial Aid application form is the same for U.S. citizens and International students.

transcripts and letters of recommendation to: Conlon Fellowship, South Asia Center, Box 353650, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195. All materials must be postmarked by Feb. 12, 2010.

Applicants for the Conlon fellowship must qualify for financial aid in the 2010-2011 academic year. Applicants who have not yet applied for aid must submit their Financial Aid application (http://www.washington.edu/students/osfa/) before completing the Conlon fellowship application.
