GALA Member Spotlight: GeoAIR

Creative Carbon Scotland

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

As a GALA partner, GeoAIR has been an active participant in the GALA general meetings, building collaborative relationships with other GALA partners across a wide geographical area.

GALA is a partnership between 19 cultural organisations that has enabled a collaborative investigation of the role of environmental sustainability for the arts and design sectors. In March 2015, the Green Art Lab Alliance (GALA) will be meeting for its third and final meeting in Glasgow.

CCS: What organisation do you represent in GALA and how did you find yourself involved?

Sophia Lapiashvili (SL): I’m representing GeoAIR (Georgia). Me and my partner Tamar Janashia were intensively involved in the project. GeoAIR participated in both components of the GALA project (the LAB and Workshop). In Spring and Summer we invited four international artist to Tbilisi for the GeoAIR residency to work with local artists together on the topic of environment and sustainability. The artists worked very closely with local context. As we implemented the project in the market space of Tbilisi, the local workers were also very much involved.

From 22nd-23rd January 2015 we organised the Green Laboratory: Culture and Environment conference/workshop which included participants from Julie’s Bicycle and Pollinaria (two other GALA project members).

CCS: What is the significance of GALA to you and how has the project contributed to your work?

SL: During the project I have met very interesting people and learned about many interesting projects and organizations. The GALA project created a very good network and I’m very thankful to be part of it. The working process for the project helped me to develop the ideas for my future projects. I wish to keep contact after the project is over and collaborate with GALA members again.

CCS: What is your favourite memory, moment, discussion or thought that you’ve taken from past GALA general meetings?

SL: The general meetings were very exciting to me- in Maastricht at the Jan van Eyck Academie meeting Lex ter Braak and getting to know the development of the academy, how they are dealing with art and environment. Also visiting Visby and the amazing  landscapes of Gotland was an interesting experience for me, to see the positive attitude toward the sustainable environment, as it is not the case in Georgia. Also working with the whole GALA team was very positive and contributed a lot to my professional development. All project partners are so different, and this diversity makes the project successful and exciting.

CCS: What are your hopes for the final GALA general meeting in Glasgow this coming March?

SL: For the March meeting I hope to see all GALA participants in Glasgow and learn more about their projects, problems and have feedback from all partners. I also wish to have some ideas for future plans.

Seeds of Straw: Arts and Agriculture Collaborative Project

Creative Carbon Scotland

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

Last week, Creative Carbon Scotlan Project Officer Gemma Lawrence joined artist organisation and fellow GALA member Pollinaria in the Abruzzo region of Italy to collaborate on the Seeds of Straw project. This collaboration took place 24th-31st January 2015, with aims of investigating local community relationships specific to agriculture.

Seeds of Straw is a collaboration between Creative Carbon Scotland and Pollinaria within the context of GALA – Green Art Lab Alliance. It originates from the themes explored by artists Futurefarmers’ Consortium Instabile, an experimental architecture, radio, research and public programme establishing a consortium of seed custodians and agents of rural regeneration.

As a part of Consortium Instabile, Seeds of Straw continues to explore these issues through the lens of sustainable agriculture focusing on a byproduct of cereals – straw – often forgotten or undervalued as a resource. The project is made up of a series of encounters and interviews with farmers, makers, designers, artists and architects in the region of Abruzzo, Italy.

The research focuses on both producers and users of straw and how these relationships bring together unexpected ecologies, for example between farmers and artists. It is concerned with how these connections might lead to greater resilience of practice, livelihoods and therefore the sustainability and regeneration of the region.

Seeds of Straw aims to increase awareness of these different practices within the specific territory of Abruzzo. At the end of a week-long field study, a final gathering at Pollinaria will be organised, where people visited during the tour will be invited to meet each other, connect and share their ideas on the themes crucial to the initiative.

As well as focusing on the local context, the research will contribute to a broader conversation within the GALA project around arts and sustainability. The information gathered will be broadcasted internationally and distributed on the Consortium Instabile radio along with other contributors.

This study uses straw as a starting point for looking at how relationships and communities of practice can emerge and what is needed to sustain them. It is hoped that this learning can be used and applied in other contexts.

Seeds of Straw is part of a series of coordinated collaborations between Pollinaria and other members of the GALA network in relation to the themes researched by Consortium Instabile.

Consortium Instabile is a project realised in the framework of the Green Art Lab Alliance – GALA and with the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union.

Opportunity: Open Call for ‘Glasgow’s Green – Imagining a more sustainable city’

Creative Carbon Scotland

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

Background

From 12 – 14th March Creative Carbon Scotland, Glasgow Arts and the Year of Green will host the culmination of a two-year European project, The Green Art Lab Alliance (GALA). This will mark the end of the GALA project and two years of activities across Europe exploring artistic and cultural responses to climate change and sustainability, bringing together 18 partners from 12 countries as well as artists, artistic organisations and local communities of Glasgow and beyond. The final day of the whole project (Saturday 14th March) will see the Glasgow Arts venue Tramway transformed into a hub of activity exploring how arts and culture can contribute to a more sustainable city with workshops, discussions and talks which provide hands on opportunities for audiences of all ages to engage with arts and environmental sustainability.

What we’re looking for

We’re inviting artists, makers, arts organisations, community organisers and those working in the area of sustainability to propose a short workshop, talk or discussion they might lead in the context of this final day which responds to the question of how arts and culture can contribute to a more sustainable city. Sessions can be aimed at any age including families.

What to expect

The day will be split into three parts within which a number of sessions will take place simultaneously. In between each of these parts we will gather in a central meeting point to reflect on the different activities we’ve taken part in before dividing again for the next sessions.

We expect to run up to 15 sessions across the whole day with around 15 – 20 participants for each session.

We’re hoping for a big attendance and will favour applications which specify a particular network or audience which they think their session will appeal to and which we would be able to invite to the event.

Form and content

Your session could take the form of a participatory workshop or artwork, a short film screening or performance, a talk or discussion or any other format which helps answer the question. We’re open to all suggestions and are looking for proposals which will enable audiences to think differently about the relationship between arts and environmental sustainability.

It could be something new which you devise for the day or a repeat of something you’ve done before. Particular themes which have been explored in the GALA network include urban and rural agriculture, energy, water and waste. Within the context of Tramway and the south side of Glasgow we’re also interested in the question of what makes a sustainable, diverse city.

Click here to read about our Glasgow and Edinburgh Green Tease events which will give you a flavour of our previous artist-run events linking to the GALA project.

Proposal specification

Please take the following into account in your application.

Timings
The session you lead could last between 30 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes depending on the nature of your proposal. Please specify the proposed length of time of your session.

We want to pack in as much as we can to the day’s proceedings so each session must be planned with a maximum 15 minute set up and 15 minute take down period. There will be some help on hand for this but you will be responsible for the majority of the set up/take down unless specific help is required.

Budget
We have a budget of up to £250 for each session to cover a fee and materials which will vary depending on the nature of the proposal.

Travel
We will prioritise proposals made by those based in the Glasgow area but are open to applications from across Scotland and beyond. We have a small fund reserved for travel expenses. For those based in Glasgow, we would ask you to cover your own travel expenses and will consider covering travel expenses for those coming from further afield.

Venue
We have booked numerous spaced in Tramway for the day of activities which include:

• T4
• Studio
• Upper Foyer
• Boiler House (Hidden Gardens)

Please let us know if you have a preference for your session.

Audience
Please state what particular audience or network you have in mind for your session.

Tech
There will be minimal technical equipment and support provided so please think creatively about how you could adapt your idea to this environment. Please also specify where equipment may be required in your proposal.

Health and Safety
Please notify us of any health and safety considerations that should be taken into account in your proposal.

Equal Opportunities
Session proposals are open to all and we will work to support those with particular needs within the confines of the venue. Please state if you or the participants require any special assistance in your proposal.

—
Please note that we will work to craft the day to allow for a wide variety of high quality sessions to take place. Depending on the number of proposals we may not be able to accommodate all applications for this event. If you have any questions about any of the above please get in touch with us at gemma.lawrence@creativecarbonscotland.com or 0131 529 7909.

Opportunity: Interdisciplinary Artist Residency at Hospitalfield Arts

Creative Carbon Scotland, Open Calls

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

The residency programme at Hospitalfield provides a location which is at once connected and remote: The house, studios, gardens and courtyards of the estate are ringed by trees and overlook the North Sea just as it flows in to the Tay Estuary. This situation has a feeling of isolation and is an extremely peaceful place to work. Once off the threshold of the estate the reality is that Hospitalfield is a part of the small fishing town of Arbroath and within walking distance of useful amenities. Arbroath station is on the east coast train line running from London to Aberdeen and the direct trains to all of the main Scottish cities is what has made it, over the years, a popular holiday destination. Once much busier in the summer than it is today, the long day light hours,  beautiful coast line and high percentage of sunshine hours defines this part of Scotland.

Hospitalfield’s residency programme provides a robust and collegiate structure which prioritises the opportunity to focus and aims to create a scenario in which new ideas are developed with the aim of prompting a step change in the evolution of the individual’s practice.

Applications are invited from artists who have a specific project or period of work to focus on and for whom this time will be invaluable.

Selectors for the residency programmes at Hospitalfield are looking for applicants that can demonstrate clearly what their project or focus for the residency is and what they anticipate the potential that this setting will offer them and the progression of their work.

For more information about the residency and to apply, please visit the listing on Hospitalfield’s website, located here.

Opportunity: Open Call for Urbane Interdisciplinary Exhibition

Creative Carbon Scotland, Open Calls

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

“But cities are not just made of bricks and mortar, they are inhabited by flesh-and-blood humans, and so must rely on the natural world to feed them. Cities, like people, are what they eat.”

-Carolyn Steel, from Hungry City: How Food Shapes Our Lives, 2008

With 66% of the world’s population expected to be living in urban areas by 2050, now is the time to ask- how will we sustain these populations within the competing uses of city space? Have city dwellers lost all sense of connection with the rural, and in doing so, alienated themselves from the production of the very sustenance that keeps them alive?

Urbane, a cross-disciplinary exhibition, aims to address these questions and provoke further consideration of these issues. Embracing discourse around the growing energy and attention being drawn towards local growing initiatives and food projects, the exhibition will act as a platform for the exchange of knowledge between artists, architects, scientists, writers, policy-makers and community groups to address the need to more fully embed our food system within our everyday urban lives.

Urbane will run 19-24 February 2015, with talks, workshops and performances activating the gallery space to create a forum to better understand the unique attributes and possibilities existing within Scotland’s urban and social environments for a more sustainable and equitable future.

Submission Guidelines:

Works of all mediums will be considered for the exhibition, with a preference for interdisciplinary collaborative works. Works will be selected for their cohesion and ability to sit within a group show in the Tent Gallery, a street-front project space located in the Art, Space + Nature studio, a space where direct dialogue between the University and the public can take place.

Preference will be given to artists proposing a performance, talk or workshop surrounding their work. Submissions must be received via email by 19th January 2015 at 5pm.

Applicants will be informed of curators’ decisions by 26 January 2015.

For full submission guidelines and to apply, please visit the opportunity listing on The Dinner Lab website.
