[Fwd: [Sarai Newsletter] Call for Proposals for Short Term IndependentResearch Fellowship]


---------------------------- Original Message ----------------------------
Subject: [Sarai Newsletter] Call for Proposals for Short Term
IndependentResearch Fellowship From: "ranita" <ranita@sarai.net>

Proposals Invited for Short Term Independent Research Fellowship
The Sarai Programme, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi

What is Sarai?
Sarai is a public initiative of media practitioners and scholars
looking at media cultures and urban life. Sarai's interests are in the
field of old and new media, information and communication
technologies, free software, cinema, and urban space - its politics,
built form, ecology, culture and history, with a strong commitment to
making knowledge available in the public domain. It is a programme of the
Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi. For more information
visit www.sarai.net

Who Can Apply?
Sarai invites independent researchers, media practitioners, software
designers and programmers, urbanists, architects, artists and
writers, as well as students (post graduate level and above) and
university and college faculty to apply for support to research
driven projects.

Why Research? What do we mean by Research?
Sarai is committed to generating public knowledge and creativity
through research. Hence the support for research driven projects and
processes. The fellowships are in the nature of small grants in order to
emphasize the initiation and founding of projects that would
otherwise go unsupported

Here, by research we mean both archival and field research, and
forays into theoretical work as well as any process or activity of an
experimental or creative nature - for instance in the audiovisual media,
as well as in journalism or the humanities and social
sciences, or in computing and architecture.

The Experience of Previous Years:
This is the third year in which Sarai has called for proposals for such
fellowships. We would like to spell out the way in which the process
worked in the previous years, as an indication of what
applicants should expect.

The first year saw the selection of twenty proposals, in the second year
thirty six proposals were selected. These included work towards projects
based on investigative reportage of urban issues; essays on everyday
life; a history of urban Dalit performance traditions;
soundscapes of the city; a graphic novel about Delhi; a documentation of
the free software movement in India; research on displacement and
rehabilitation in cities; interpretative catalogues of wall writings and
public signages; histories of cinema halls and studios in Delhi, Mumbai
and Kolkata; a study of the world of popular fiction and many others.
Successful applicants included freelance researchers,
academics, media practitioners, writers, journalists and activists. For a
detailed list of the proposals click on
http://www.sarai.net/community/fellow.htm

The projects were submitted in English, Hindi or a combination of the two
languages. We have seen that projects that set important but
practical and modest goals were usually successful, whereas those that
may have been conceptually sound but lacked sufficient
motivation to actually pursue a research objective on the field,
usually did not take off beyond the interim stage.

Sarai interacted closely with the researcher over the period of the
fellowship and the independent fellows made monthly postings on a public
list as well as a final presentation at Sarai. This enabled us to trace
the development of work during the grant period and the
fellows to obtain structured but informal feedback from us at Sarai in
stages during the course of their work. Submissions at the end of the
fellowship period included written reports and essays,
photographs, tape recordings, audio CDs, pamphlets, maps, drawings and
html presentations.

What we are Looking For:
As in the past, this year too we are looking for proposals that are
imaginatively articulated, experimental and methodogically
innovative, but which are pragmatic and backed up by a well argued work
plan which sets out a time table for the project, as well as suggests how
the support will help with specific resources (human and material) that
the project needs.

Suggested Themes:
Sarai's interests lie in the city and in media. Broadly speaking any
proposal that looks at the urban condition, or at media, is eligible.
More specifically, themes may be as diverse as habitation, sexuality,
labour, social/digital interfaces, urban violence, street life,
technologies of urban control, health and the city, the political economy
of media forms, histories of particular media practices,
intellectual property law, migration, transportation, or anything that the
applicants feel will resonate with the philosophy and interests that
motivate Sarai's work.

Sarai supports innovative and inventive modes of rendering work into the
Public Domain. Proposals, which pay attention to this, will be
particularly valued.

Preferred Approaches:
Innovative and interdisciplinary methodologies, that combine research,
practice, and delivery or rendition methods will be especially welcome.

Conditions:
Applicants should be resident in India, and should have an account in any
bank operating in India.

The research fellowship would be available for up to six months and for a
maximum amount of Rs. 60,000.

The fellowships do not require an every day presence at Sarai. These are
support fellowships and fellowship holders will be free to pursue their
primary occupations, if any.

There are no application forms. Simply post (snail mail) your
- Proposal (not more than1000 words)
- A brief workplan (not more than one page)
- An updated CV (not more than two pages)

institution.

[Fwd: Istanbul: COPY IT, STEAL IT, SHARE IT]

For Immediate release

Borusan Art Gallery, Istiklal Caddesi No:421 80060 Beyoglu-Istanbul-Turkey

COPY IT, STEAL IT, SHARE IT
Artists and icons
Opening reception September 20

September 20 - November 8, 2003

Curator: Michele Thursz in collaboration with Anne Barlow

The Birth of Venus: Sandro Botticelli's fifteenth century painting; an
Andy Warhol wristwatch; the Adobe software logo for "Illustrator". A
visual "icon" can be steeped in history and associations with religion,
art, popular culture, personalities, mass media, computer technology, or
any combination of these. The practice of copying, stealing, and sharing
icons has been around for centuries, but new communication platforms (such
as the internet, handheld devices, and interactive cinema) offers
artists-and viewers-new ways of doing so.

Whether artists work with new media, or with more "traditional" art forms
such as painting, the technologies, practices, or aesthetics of digital
culture filter through the work of all the artists in this show - adding
new and layered dimensions to the acts of copying, stealing, and sharing.
The meanings of icons continue to shift, reconstructing information and
open up new ways in which a story is told.

Copy it, steal it, share it is a group exhibition that looks at icons as
archetypal structures, as sources of knowledge that generate an on going
contemporary dialogue. The exhibition includes works on paper, drawing,
paintings, cinema, net, mosaic and public installations by Monika Bravo,
Andy Deck, Godfried Donker, Ellen Gallagher, Space Invader, Reynold
Reynolds, Carlo Zanni, and Marina Zurkow

Monica Bravo's (South America) work "Playing With Time" video uses the
U.S. landing on the moon as a pivotal time in U.S. history and an
indelible imprint in our memory. Andy Deck's (USA) Internet project
Glyphiti, is a multi-user collaborative drawing platform calling on the
spirit of graffiti. Godfried Donker's (UK) Paintings, Financial Times
silhouettes, Tyson draw on the relationship of economy and iconic forms,
by translating words figuratively and drawing on the myths, idols historic
structures. Space Invader (France) Invasion a mosaic and public
installation exposes the fusion of the subculture of video games and
graffiti, Carlo Zanni's (Italy) oil paintings of software logos and
desktop icons.

Michele Thursz is an independent curator, based in New York. Her current
project is Post Media Network located at http://www.michelethursz.com.
Previously she founded and directed Moving Image Gallery. Her recent
curatorial, production projects include "Brain Girl"+ "e" + "Pussy
Weeval", NYC,"Nown", Pittsburgh, PA, "Fetish: Human Fantastic" Borusan
Gallery, Istanbul.

Anne Barlow, Curator of Education and Media Programs at the New Museum
of Contemporary Art, New York, has organized numerous
exhibitions, residencies, new media and public art
projects in the UK and U.S.A. Her recent New Museum projects
include "Trust Me"; "Graham Gussin:States of Mind"; "lab
[au]: polygon den[c]ities"; "Videodrome II" and "Killer Instinct"
(with Rachel Greene, for December 2003).
