| Shinobu Akimoto and Matthew Evans are pleased to announce the launch of their new project, RESIDENCY FOR ARTISTS ON HIATUS (RFAOH). RESIDENCY FOR ARTISTS ON HIATUS is a virtual yet functioning residency available to artists who, for one reason or another, are not currently making or presenting art. The residency will exist in the form of a website, and the participants will be selected based on their proposals of "on-hiatus" activities (or non-activities) through open calls. To be eligible to apply, artists must have previously created an independent body of work and have exhibited in a public context. Selected artists will be represented on the site by a dedicated page on which they may post periodic reports throughout their residency. A modest stipend will be awarded to successful applicants to assist in their on-hiatus endeavours. At the conclusion of their residency, participants are expected to submit a written report along with other relevant documentation on how they benefited from or were otherwise influenced by this opportunity. In its ultimate/ideal incarnation, the residency will be "hosted" by an art institution, who would provide access to the site through their own website, and assist in funding the programme. RESIDENCY FOR ARTISTS ON HIATUS plans to publish an annual report as a full-colour catalogue of the participants' on-hiatus activities. RESIDENCY FOR ARTISTS ON HIATUS invites you to: 1. Apply for its inaugural residency period in 2013/2014: Application deadline is August 15, 2013. 2. Become a host institution for the residency, or support us in various ways 3. Share the RFAOH website For more information please visit residencyforartistsonhia RESIDENCY FOR ARTISTS ON HIATUS will be promoting the programme and recruiting applicants and supporters during the opening week of the 55th Venice Biennale. Please stop and say hello if you see us there. RFAOH Co-directorsShinobu Akimoto / Matthew Evansinfo@  | ||
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...
