Jobs and opps

WHO: all artforms.    

WHAT: the Indianapolis Museum of Art is issuing a call for proposals for a summer 2012 six-week residency on Andrea Zittel's Indianapolis Island within the IMA's 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art and Nature Park. Graduate and undergraduate students and emerging professionals in the fields of art, design, architecture and performing arts are encouraged to apply to customize and reside on Indianapolis Island.
Anchored in the 35-acre lake within 100 Acres, Indianapolis Island is a habitable "off-the-grid" structure accessible by rowboat. At about 20 feet in diameter, the island serves as an experimental living structure that examines the daily needs of contemporary human beings. Residents collaborate with Zittel by adapting and modifying the island's structure according to their individual needs. The project blends elements of environmental art, sculpture, design and performance in a unique way, offering a challenging and experimental forum for exploring ideas about individualism and self-sufficiency.

WHEN: residencies must last six weeks or longer and be conducted between May and September 2012.

PAYMENTS: island residents are provided with a budget of US$3000, paid in two installments, to purchase materials for fabrication. All materials purchased with this budget are property of the IMA. A personal stipend of $1500 is also awarded. The IMA will provide roundtrip travel to Indianapolis for one resident.
