Residencies
Site Gallery is inviting applications for 10 micro-residencies for Sheffield-based emerging artists who are interested in developing a participatory strand to their practice.

For two weeks, from 7th-18th February, Site’s galleries will be turned over to the residents who will programme a series of events, workshops, screenings and talks aimed at different groups of people.

Each artist will be paid a fee of £300 and an additional £100 for materials.

Successful applicants will need to commit to:

• Attending a three-day workshop between Thursday 2nd and Saturday 3rd February with the other 10 artists and a small team of experienced mentors.
• Developing work in Site’s galleries with different groups of people within the ten-day period of the project (7th-18th February).

How to apply?
Applications to A time and place are now closed.

What will you get?
Meet Other Sheffield-based Artists
The ten artists will come from a variety of artistic practices, providing an opportunity for collaboration and exchange.

Work in a Group Environment
You can develop your proposal with the help of a mentor and through conversations with the other artists. The gallery will be made available to the A time and a place artists throughout the preparatory period, where you can convene and work through your ideas.

Support and Mentoring
Talks and presentations will be organised for the artists to give some context to participation, audience engagement and Sheffield as a site of interest. The focus will be on building a critical art practice which includes working with people including young people.

Experience and Exposure
Site Gallery will make the exhibition space available to your proposals throughout the preparatory and project phases. Artists are each assigned one day for which they will be entirely responsible of the events taking place in the gallery between the 7th and 18th of February.

Who should apply?
These residencies are aimed at early career artists.

We have allocated 5 of the residencies for artists who are within 5 years of graduating and can demonstrate an interest in expanding their practice into a participatory field.

The other 5 places have been reserved for artists who may have developed a practice through a less formal educational route.

All of the participants must have a genuine interest in working with people and an understanding of associated issues (ethical and practical) demonstrated through their previous experience.

All of the artists should come with a simple, planned out idea of a workshop, event or mini-project that they would like to develop during their time at Site.

Site Canteen is open 9 – 4pm, Tuesday – Friday and 11 to 4pm Saturdays.

The residencies will start on 26th March 2012 and run for 12 weeks.

Please note – Applications are now closed.

We will be screening Maud’s new video work ‘Follow me as I fall’ which restages five minutes of a classic Hitchcock film, in which two characters play an ambiguous game of hide and seek. In the vein of film noir the new work employs suspense and frenzy, while in addition the infusion of extravagant colour aims to highlight and expose a mute yet rhythmic dialogue.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with artist, Dr Amanda Crawley Jackson of Occursus and Laura Sillars, Artistic Director, Site Gallery.

The performance takes place on the 63rd anniversary of the Declaration and on International Human Rights day.

Local citizens will recite from memory articles of the Declaration and the Sheffield Socialist Choir will perform a song to celebrate justice and freedom.

Act 38: We are all Equal is presented in partnership with Site Gallery and Sheffield Socialist Choir as part of Monica Ross’ 2011-13 UK tour ‘Anniversary – an act of memory’ which is funded by Arts Council England.
