CALL FOR CREATIONS The living and energy


CALL FOR CREATIONS
The living and energy

Deadline for submission of proposals: January 6, 2013

As part of Le Nôtre year 2013 (City of Versailles), a multi-disciplinary team of researchers invite artists to explore a new field of research on the grounds of INRA Versailles.
Facing the energy crisis, a new thought energy is emerging. The energy of living is a major component that goes far beyond strategies for biofuel production and biomass. The living world is irrigated circulation of energy in which we bathe without noticing: condensation of solar energy into organic matter (photosynthesis) water cycle (evapotranspiration from plants, production of clouds and rain, dew ) natural air conditioning (cool off by vegetation in the soil and air) heat (rotting and fermenting fallen leaves, compost) ... Basically, our sensory experiences changing with the seasons (in the shade of a tree, for example) are the most direct evidence of the scope of the energy released by the components plants, animals, minerals and water in our living environments.
The objective of the research program developed on the INRA Versailles-Grignon is to make art work and research to make this sensitive intelligence bio-energy and create a new interface between society and energy. Ground between artists involved in ecology and researchers, this program also includes a transdisciplinary project of experimentation for students. The exhibition will be accompanied creations selected in May and June 2013 forums and debates with the public and restitution of the entire program will take place during a seminar planned for late 2013. Examples of artistic exploration of energy circulations that supply the living world, we can refer to the work mentioned in the appendix.

Open Call for Artists (Winter 2025-26) Last Ship Art Residency @Khajuraho

  Artist in residence: The artist studios of Last Ship are situated opposite the UNESCO World Heritage temples of Khajuraho. The Viswanath temple built in 999 AD is right in front, less than 20 meters from Last Ship. Little known prehistoric and ancient historic sites in this region tell parts of a story more than 10,000 years old, of the Mughals, the Chandelas, going back to the Guptas, the Kushans, the Shungas and the Indo-Greeks all the way to prehistoric cave-dwellers, revealing secrets of the birth of the philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and their common Tantric spiritual traditions. The artists of the residency are invited to have their own experience of this heritage, like the sadhus, aghoris, and mystics who make solitary pilgrimages through this region, called the most powerful tantric region in the world, in search of enlightenment. The Last Ship residency program is a one-of-a-kind experience of a history, nature and culture, hidden in the chaos and turmoil...
