The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute is pleased to announce the 2021 edition of its Artists Development Programme (ADP). The EIB Institute is looking for ONE visual artist (born after 1 January 1986) from an EU Member State to work on the theme “Disruption: The Imprint of Man”.

“Disruption: The Imprint of Man” aims to offer a unique vantage point on the Anthropocene. Building on the past residency theme “Anthropocene – The Imprint of Man” (2014-2017), “Disruption” broadens the focus beyond the environment to include topical social issues in the EU: the decline of solidarity and respect as values, generational clashes, and the meaning of intra and international relations. The call encourages the creation of works of art that interrogate human behaviour and its consequences. “Disruption” is therefore understood not only in its physical sense, but also as a social, cultural and behavioural phenomenon.

The ADP offers emerging European visual artists a 6-8 week residency in Luxembourg, enabling them to develop their practice and create a new (body of) work(s), boosted by the mentorship of a renowned artist. In 2021, the recipient will be mentored by acclaimed Finnish artist Jorma Puranen.

Eligibility criteria

• Born after 1 January 1986 (in the case of an artist duo, both members must be aged 35 or under)
• EU national (in the case of an artist duo, both members must be EU nationals)
• Fluent in English

Budget and duration

The EIB Institute will cover the artist’s travel costs to and from Luxembourg (for the residency), and to and from Jorma Puranen’s studio (before the start of the residency).

The artist will receive a €100 (one hundred euros) flat-rate daily allowance to cover their living costs during the residency and all or part of the production costs, and will be provided with a living/working space.

In addition to the above, the artist will be granted a contribution towards production of €500 (five hundred euros) at the beginning of the residency and a success fee of €1 000 (one thousand euros) at the end of the residency, provided that they have produced a work or body of works.

The residency in Luxembourg will take place between early May and end of June 2021.

Upon completion of the residency, the EIB may consider acquiring an artwork produced on-site by the artist.

Application procedure

All applications must be submitted through the online form available here.

Requirements

– A CV in English (maximum four pages) including education, work experience, solo and group shows, and media coverage

– A letter of motivation (in English) with ideas to be explored during the residency, in line with the proposed theme (maximum 1 000 words)

– A portfolio (maximum eight pages in A4 PDF format) to showcase a representative selection of the applicant’s works

– Names and contact details of two professional referees familiar with the applicant’s art

– A brief reference to how the applicant found out about the programme

Please note that proof of nationality and age will be requested if shortlisted.

Selection procedure

A jury – consisting of Jorma Puranen (the mentor), members of the EIB Arts Committee and external art advisers – will select the candidate based on the artistic quality of their work, their motivation and their potential to make the most of the opportunity offered by the residency, as well as the relevance of their practice to the cultural context of the EIB Institute.

The selected candidate will be informed of the jury’s decision by email in March 2021.

Application deadline: Midnight (GMT+1), 10 January 2021.
Any application failing to comply with the set requirements will be automatically disqualified.

Rewards: publication in magazine

HAS Magazine launches a call for contributions for its third issue to be published in May 2021

The goal of HAS Magazine is to discuss pressing topics through the analysis of a wide range of themes in the humanities, the social sciences, and the arts. Conceived as a magazine for the broadest possible range of readers, HAS offers a space for staging the most creative, enlightening, imaginative, and socially relevant interactions of the humanities and the arts.

HAS Magazine is an initiative of the Humanities, Arts and Society project with UNESCO-MOST, the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences, Mémoire de l’Avenir and Global Chinese Arts & Culture Society.

We welcome contributions from scholars, researchers, critics, artists, and any interested parties who find the above aims important and would like to be part of the project. HAS Magazine is not an academic journal and texts should be written in a language accessible to a broad, non-expert audience. HAS is not a commercial venture and is available online for free in English, French and Chinese in order to reach the broadest possible audience. Due to the non-profit nature of the publication, contributions are on a voluntary basis.

The published contributions include essays, reviews, critiques, interviews, artistic projects, video and photo reportages, and news. The editorial committee is constituted by members of UNESCO-MOST, the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences and Mémoire de l’Avenir.

Politically biased or discriminatory content will not be accepted. Promotional or commercial content should be avoided.

The theme of the third issue is Truth and Belief. We aim to investigate this topic from a multi- and cross-disciplinary perspective—including but not limited to the visual and performing arts, philosophy, history, anthropology, archaeology, literature, sociology, economics, political science, and humanities scholarship.

More information about the theme
In the 21st century, information is produced and shared at a record pace, with unprecedented reach. Web 2.0—aka the Participative Internet—is radically transforming our ways of consuming information. This development is both positive and negative: On the one hand it allows people to organize and crowdsource ideas more efficiently, but on the other it is increasing the amount of false information being spread without fact-checking. Conflict, discrimination, ideological blindness, the denial of global warming and COVID-19, and beyond, are nurtured by dis- and mis-information that is difficult to regulate. Although fake news is not a new phenomenon, the broad information flow of today, enabled by social media, has allowed it to flourish. From these channels, a culture based on influence has emerged, in which personalities can directly communicate with followers who trust them, and affect their behaviour. As we are bombarded with information created by influencers with different interests and intentions, how do we distinguish between facts, opinions, and beliefs?

Critical thinking and understanding have become more important than ever amidst this global information flow. The role and responsibility of education—and actors such as artists, journalists, and scientists—has always been to inform and to question. Their domains—the arts, humanities, and sciences—are the principal drivers of critical thinking, social investigation, and active learning. By questioning dogmas and exploring new ways of living, they have the capacity to upend outdated paradigms and help society in its transformative endeavour. They are important in fighting denialism and confirmation bias, which favour facts that are coherent with one’s already-held beliefs.These disciplines encourage inclusive understanding, which helps us see that our local actions have global impact.

In the third issue of HAS Magazine, we seek to explore the flow of information, knowledge, bias, and the notion of truth.

Investigations may cover fields and questions such as epistemology, the social construction of reality, the Information Age, influence, cognitive bias, cognitive dissonance, anti-intellectualism, scientific ignorance, and denialism.

Artistically, this may include photography, illusionary art, forgeries, fakes, art as information, and artistic investigations of objectivity/subjectivity and the nature of truth and reality.

Questions may include (but are not limited to): How can we distinguish between objective and subjective, or self-serving facts? What is the place of truth in current society? How do truth, reason, and belief relate to each other? What is the role of satire, and what is its relation to truth/falsity? What is the role of art in relation to truth, falsity, and bias? How can art and art education help develop critical thinking? What is the place of scepticism in today’s society, in the positive and negative sense? What are the advantages of scepticism, and what are its limits? How can the various forms and branches of art contribute to the investigation of the above issues?

We invite researchers, creative thinkers, and practising artists to submit contributions examining any aspects of the above questions.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Contributors may submit texts in English or French. The language should be accessible to a broad audience and non-experts of the subject.

Contributions can be up to 3000 words in length and include 3-8 images minimum 300 dpi

Contributions can also be presented in video (MP4) or audio formats (MP3).

Citations and references should use the Chicago-style.

(100 words), should be sent to magazine@humanitiesartsandsociety.org.
