CALLS FOR PROPOSALS
SPECIAL COLLABORATION BETWEEN DAZIBAO & PRIM
DEADLINE: OCTOBER 1st 2008
In a joint collaboration, Dazibao and PRIM are excited to offer a unique residency for an artist to produce and exhibit a project. The chosen proposal will consider the specific mandates of both organizations and consequently, will raise issues pertinent to photography and challenge its relationship to sound, video and digital media.
The selected artist will have one year to complete his/her project. The equivalent of up to $8000 in equipment and facilities from PRIM will be accessible to the artist, based on PRIM?s current rates. (PRIM reserves the right to limit the number of hours per domain). PRIM will offer the artist $1000 for training in audio and/or video (non transferable, no cash value). For artists living outside of the Montreal area, a financial assistance of $2000 in lieu of living expenses will be offered.
The project will then be presented during the 2009-2010 programming year at Dazibao and will benefit from the same promotional and technical support applicable to the regular programming of the centre. The artist will receive exhibition and reproduction rights in accordance with RAAV and CARFAC rates.
