The UNESCO-Aschberg Bursaries for Artists promote the mobility of young artists in order to enrich their personal perspectives, to enable them to engage in an intercultural dialogue and expose them to cultural diversity.

The Programme offers residencies to young artists (between 25 and 35 years old) worldwide. It shares many objectives of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (2005), which advocates cultural exchanges and highlights creativity and the need for artists to enrich their experience through contact with other cultures.

These residencies are catalysts for the development of artistic expression in all cultures of the world.

O Canal Contemporâneo lança, pela primeira vez, o “Prêmio Registros – vídeos sobre arte”, que premiará até quatro vídeos sobre arte contemporânea brasileira produzidos entre os anos 1990 e 2010, com prêmios no valor de R$ 5.000,00 (cinco mil reais) cada.

A convocatória do Prêmio Registros pretende mapear e estimular a produção de registros videográficos com ênfase no documental e ensaístico, priorizando especialmente a experimentação de linguagem e novos formatos. Os documentários e ensaios videográficos inscritos no “Prêmio Registros” devem ser norteados pela arte contemporânea brasileira e seus desdobramentos, em exposições, vernissages, visitas, entrevistas, ateliês e debates.

O “Prêmio Registros” foi concebido a partir da verificação de uma enorme lacuna no que diz respeito à realização de registros de arte contemporânea brasileira na atualidade, apesar da enorme facilidade que os meios digitais possibilitam à produção e divulgação de vídeos. O objetivo deste prêmio é chamar atenção para o tema e, com isso, incentivar a criação de parcerias para a produção de vídeos sobre arte que tragam potencial para a troca de ideias, a promoção de novas ações e o estímulo de discussões sobre arte contemporânea e seu circuito.

Todo o processo, desde a inscrição até a exibição dos vídeos selecionados, será feito pela internet, no sítio do Canal Contemporâneo e com o uso dos canais do YouTube,. Com a publicação dos vídeos na internet, o Canal Contemporâneo dá continuidade a um trabalho que vem desenvolvendo há dez anos junto à sua comunidade: a criação de uma memória coletiva da arte contemporânea brasileira. O uso da internet como suporte permite não apenas difundir e divulgar as criações apresentadas, mas, também, produzir referências para que outras possam surgir.

O “Prêmio Registros – vídeos sobre arte” é produzido com recursos do edital Conexão Artes Visuais MinC/Funarte/Petrobras 2010.

As inscrições iniciam em 10 de agosto de 2010 e serão encerradas às 23h59 de 10 de setembro de 2010.

As bolsas da fundação americana HARPO financiam pesquisas de artistas através de instituições sem fins lucrativos. A instituição deve mandar uma proposta, em nome do artista. Projetos de pessoas físicas não são aceitos.

Mission
Harpo Foundation was established in 2006 to support artists who are under recognized by the field. This applies to all artists whether emerging or further along in their careers. We view the definitions of art and artist to be open-ended and expansive.

2010 Funding Focus
The relationship between art and site in an era defined by digital technologies is the focus for Harpo Foundation’s 2010 funding cycle. Of specific interest is the dialectic between the non-locality of the digital world and the existential physicality of our everyday environment. For example, our sense of place is being drastically altered by web space, which brings geographically distant locations together to form a new kind of locality, yet what’s small, local, personal, political and natural informs our vision for a sustainable future; the search for place-bound identity persists.
