Visual Arts Scotland is delighted to announce ' From One to Another', our forthcoming partnership with the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust, Borlase Smart John Wells Trust in Cornwall and Marchmont House which will offer a VAS member the opportunity to spend a month-long residency at the Borlase Smart John Wells Trust in Newlyn, Cornwall and a Cornwall based artist to take a month-long residency at Marchmont House in the Scottish Borders in November 2021.

This is an exciting partnership developed in recognition of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham's connection to both Cornwall and Scotland, and we are excited to connect the selected artists and encourage dialogue around issues of practice and place across the breadth of the United Kingdom.

In a year where borders in the UK have been used to contain, protect and control in response to Covid-19, this residency gives space for artists to consider what connects us through ideas of collaboration, discussion and understanding differences to help forge relationships that break the boundaries of these invisible walls.

The Scotland based VAS member resident will be based with the Borlase Smart John Wells Trust and will live and work in the newly renovated multi-use studio space in Newlyn, Penwith. This was once the studio to John Wells and Stanhope Forbes and has a strong historical connection to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Cornwall and in particular Penwith.

The Cornwall based artist will be resident for a month on the Estate of Marchmont House, a Palladian mansion built in 1750, based in the Scottish Borders. They will work in the Tower Studio, which is part of a newly created artist hub; Marchmont Creative Spaces. This hub was built to help support creatives with affordable work and community spaces and encourage innovation and entrepreneurship in the Borders. The artist will also take up residency in the Courtyard Cottage a few meters from the Studio and be supported on site by the Marchmont House Creative Spaces Team.
HOW TO APPLY
The Open Calls for both parts of this residency are being managed separately at different times. The first will be overseen by VAS on behalf of the Scottish Artist attending the Cornwall Residency and the second by the Borlase Smart John Wells Trust for Cornwall based Artists attending the Scotland Residency.

The Cornwall Residency is open to apply for now. The Scotland Residency will be open to apply for shortly. Stay tuned for more information about this.

Audiotalaia Summer Camp is a workshop, a residency, and a collective experience centered around creativity, sound, and technology. The meeting looks after shaping a creative practice focused on sound and driven by a collective workflow.
The Camp joins every summer, since 2016, young and creative people involved in the fields of fine arts, music, design, architecture, photography, filmmaking, etc. The goal is to assemble a group of unique and diverse individuals that aim to integrate sound into their personal creative processes, from a wide variety of disciplines, cultures, and backgrounds.
Audiotalaia Summer Camp is a creative meeting in which the sound, the technology, and the landscape are being approached in several creative processes over nine days.
The whole program has been designed to focus attention and efforts on the practical aspect of a learning process. The theoretical and conceptual side of the artistic practice will be spread across feedback sessions, open debates, and daily workflow.
The stay is divided into two main stages: the first is focused on building a collaborative framework through tutored and daily projects tackling various formats within the sound art practice with a strong focus on process, feedback, and collective debate.
The second part of the camp focuses on the development of a series of projects in which participants will have to collectively shape installations, concerts, and performances that will be presented during a final event open to local audiences and the general public.
All activities during the camp will revolve around aspects such as listening experiences, composition, field recordings, installation, sound sculptures, site-specific interventions, live performances among others.
Summer camp is a collective and living together experience. This means that participants will share various rooms with bunks or beds and common spaces.
The creative and experimental tasks are combined with several daily routines in which the group will work as a team. This stay is a process of immersion and intensive work: a week to work, learn, and share collectively.
Audiotalaia Summer Camp is an initiative lead by musician, producer, and sound artist Edu Comelles, external collaborators, and Alberg Rural El Polell.

"The worst part of the Summer Camp is that it ends"

"... an amazing experience. The great thing was that everyone was collaborative and friendly, there was no one preventing the group from being well blended and in harmony."

"I think it's been a life-changing experience."

"The environment, the landscape and devotion of the organizers, it all helps to make this the perfect place to work collectively in creative projects"

"I am already envying those who will participate next year."

" The experience has been great, I think it has exceeded all expectations that one might have imagined"

"The best it's been to be able to see first hand how Edu and everybody else approach a project, from the germ of the idea to finalizing it"

A note on applying if you are feeling low in confidence:

Did you read any of this and think any of the following: "Maybe this isn't for me", "I'm not good enough", "It's been X-number of years since I made anything", "I don't know if I'm an artist?" then this opportunity is for you!

Gaada is run by artists - and believe us we know how daunting applications can be!!! We created this opportunity because we hear these words all too often and wanted to create supported workshop bursaries for people to build skills and confidence. These bursaries are awarded to people who have exciting ideas and want to develop something in their creative life. Your idea doesn't have to be fully formed, in fact, it's preferable if it's a bit vague and you are open to trying new techniques! The first sessions take the form of a tutorial, where an experienced tutor and skilled technician will help you formulate your ideas into a plan.

We hope you consider applying!

The economic crisis, international political tensions, progress in the development of nuclear weapons and the battle with the pandemic are bringing the world closer to global catastrophe. Now is the Doomsday Clock's closest approach to midnight than ever before in the history of mankind. The aggravation of global problems is also associated with information warfare in cyberspace. The rise in fake news and online disinformation campaigns plunges us into the post-truth era. Objective facts become less significant in the formation of public opinion. Appeal to emotions and personal convictions becomes a determining factor. Conspiracy theories are taking over the world.

Shelter becomes one of the basic needs for survival. For most people, this place is their home. The pandemic year passed under the motto "Stay Home. Save Lives". But at home we are not protected from the information aggression that damages the psyche and human relations. Physical barriers are becoming insufficient. What should be the shelter that will save humanity from itself?

The fifth season of Stone Oven House will be devoted to the theme of Shelter. Participants are invited to reflect on existing and hypothetical dangers, on physical or metaphysical salvation, on the ideal space for meeting the Doomsday, on the Doomsday itself, on their refuge, on those who are not destined to enter the bunker and about those who are not destined to get out of it.

We are considering the possibility of participation of professional authors working with any materials, any media and any genres. But the priority is given to projects that include one or more following aspects:

- interaction with viewers
- use of territory spaces
- application of the latest technologies in art
- coverage of problems leading to a global catastrophe
- use of environmentally friendly materials and upcycling
- work with the cultural and historical heritage of Val Pellice

The projects will be introduced at Stone Oven House spaces and on the partner platforms during the season and on the final show at the end of the year. You can also apply for the residency program with a project out of the current topic, but in this case we can not give you priority in exhibiting. You can take part in the residency program both online and offline.

Artists applying for the in-person residency are welcome to book a studio and exhibition space from March to October 2021. We'll help with accomodation and working materials. Read more on the application page.

Those who will apply for remote residency will be assisted online. However the works of the online residents will be introduced together with the other projects on the final show

The call is open during the entire year. There is no deadline, but applicants are encouraged to feel the applications as early as possible to have a better chance of acceptance.

Please feel up the application form .

RESIDENCIES

An annual residency supported by a fee and production budget, inviting artists to undertake a period of public research in the Tobar an Dualchais digital archive. Open to visual and sound artists with an interest in oral history, archives and sound, this residency aims to foster meaningful engagement with Gaelic culture and heritage, and to build critical and imaginative responses to the complexities of Scottish history and cultural identity.

Our 2021 Tobar an Dualchais artist in residence is Mairi Gillies.

Màiri is a Gaelic visual artist. In Màiri's arts practice Gàidhlig forms a key part of the aperture through which she experiences the world. Màiri is interested in the overlapping layers through time of peoples, language, material cultures, relationships with the landscape and how these connect and relate to one another. Her creative practice is research-led and informed by these multi-faceted relationships, seeking to create a 'sense of place'.
