The MSU Museum CoLab Studio invites bold and innovative proposals for our upcoming exhibition, "Blurred Realities." This exhibition and public programming series will delve into contemporary questions that challenge our perception and understanding of what is real and authentic. In an era of new and evolving technology, “Blurred Realities” seeks to explore real and surrogate objects and media, authenticity and deception, and information and disinformation. With the rise of 3D-printed materials, generative AI, deep fakes, synthetic voices, and simulated realities, how do we distinguish between authentic information and deceptive fabrications?

**What We Are Looking For**

We welcome submissions from artists, designers, scientists, engineers, psychologists, gamers, researchers, performers, storytellers, activists, musicians, students – in short, pretty much anyone with a creative idea that addresses our themes. Your proposal might be for: 

* An exhibit (new or existing artwork, research project, virtual reality game, visualizations, etc.)
* A program or event (performance, panel discussion, facilitated workshop, etc.)

We are especially enthusiastic to see proposals that are hands-on and invite interaction and participation from visitors.

  
We seek proposals that explore the line between imaginative storytelling, authenticity, and manipulative information, grounded in the intersection of art, science, and ethics. The exhibition aims to address the dilemmas tied to dis/misinformation, generative AI text and images, and the shifting notions of perception, interpretation, and truth. We aim to uncover strategies that navigate plausible yet false information and representations, celebrating the power of evidence-based reasoning and democratic decision-making.

Potential Themes and Topics for Submissions

* Differentiation between authentic material and deceptive fabrications in the age of AI deepfakes, generative images, and narratives.
* Ethical implications of using digital replicas and surrogates.
* Intersection and divergence of artistic expressions from factual representation and truth.
* The role of deepfakes and synthetic media in shaping public perception.
* Ensuring decisions are based on genuine information and evidence-based reasoning.
* Challenges generative AI technologies pose to traditional notions of authenticity and originality.
* Strategies to navigate and discern plausible but false data and representations.
* Impact of fake news on democratic processes and evidence-based research.
* Influence of shifting perceptions on our understanding of reality and truth.
* The construction of identities in digital environments and the tension between authenticity and fabrication.
* The role of artistic creation and fiction in exploring complex truths and ethical dilemmas.

**Important Dates**

* Submission Deadline: November 15, 2024
* Results Announcement: January 24, 2025
* Exhibit Ready for Installation: September 1, 2025
* Exhibition Opening: January 2026

Blurred Realities Exhibition Open Call

Dive 15 days into your creative process, while sharing collaborative experiences with brazilian and international artists, at an organic farm in the beautiful mountains of Rio de Janeiro's countryside.

All inclusive fee  (meals, accomodation, spaces, equipment). Transportation to the residency is not included. 

RSJ is an artist-run independent space. No lucrative fees  ;-)  there are 2 full grants available for black/indigenous/trans people from the global south

RSJ has been active for 12 years, establishing itself as a reference in the realm of art residencies in Brazil. "Verãozão" is our special annual summer residency, scheduled to happen from **24/01 to 08/02 2025.**

  
**The São João Residency** focuses on intensive development of creative works, processes and experiences, in connection with its environment. The residency is located in a historic 19th-century coffee farm, with an agroecological approach, near the city of São José do Vale do Rio Preto, in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro. Over 60% of the farm is constituted by preserved Atlantic rainforest, and all crops are certified organic.

**Verãozão** is the moment in which we surrender to pure fruition while taking care of our creativity in connection with ourselves and the Earth. After the rain that greatly contributes to the flow of the waterfalls, we will join in the heat, warming up our hearts.

  
**For this edition**, we will have two amazing collaborators: Nancy Mora, a colombian "chef de cuisine" and agroecological activist, taking care of our meals; and the tantric therapists Renê Caffaro and Monaliza Marchi, who offer daily active meditations and an individual massage available for each resident, already included in the fee.

  
Part of the **Verãozão** gourp is usually formed by ex-residents, as we work on deepening our network of affections and collaborations. We also welcome first-time voyagers! All activities will be collectively discussed, from each resident's proposals. Please bring your desires, your preoccupations and purposefulness!

We will form a multi-disciplinary group with up to 14 people, among artists (visual, sound, audio-visual, conceptual, performative …), researchers and other people interested in this context. All applications will be considered with care!

The Residency is an independent project, run by artists, and is non-profitable.

The fee includes: two weeks of stay; all meals by our artist chef, primarily based on bio and local products; and the therapies that will happen collectively on a daily basis. It’s like a spa of creativity and affection!

Since we aim to promote social and territorial inclusion, we offer three full grants, one for a regional resident and two for black/indigenous/trans/peripherical people, coming from any country in the so called "global south". You're welcome to announce these opportunities to anyone you think could benefit from it!

  
**What we offer:**

* Shared rooms in a historical building from 1853
* Shared work and living spaces: studio space / desks / large external areas / gardens / a small chapel form more intimate immersions
* Sound recording studio equipped with: monitoring speakers / 16 channel audio recording interface / microphones / digital piano / percussions
* A small waterfall within 5 min walk
* Acces to a swimming pool and to beautiful gardens
* All meals: breakfast / lunch / dinner
* Daily collective meditations (optional)
* One individual session of tantric therapy (optional)
* Promotion of the work done during the residency (publishing on our digital platforms and eventually live events)
* A final event, open to the local audience, to share the experiences, works and processes created

  
**What is not included in the fee:**

* Transport in and out of the São João Farm (but we will provide assistance for the residents to share transports)
* Alcoholic beverages (there will be craft beer produced on the farm for sale)

CC De Ververij organises the 'Ronse Drawing Prize' competition every two years, which focuses on autonomous contemporary drawing.

  
The competition enjoys a strong artistic appeal and growing attention from the Flemish visual arts world. This undoubtedly has to do with a great interest in autonomous drawing, but also with the targeted and contemporary promotion (also abroad), the authentic concept, the special exhibition space and especially with the appointment of jury members with a broad expertise and a strong weight in the arts sector.

**Exhibition from Saturday 14 December 2024 to Sunday 19 January 2025**

  
The total prize money is EUR 5,500, to be split between the ‘First Prize of the Town of Ronse’ worth EUR 4,000, the ‘Second Prize of the Town of Ronse’ worth EUR 1,000 and the ‘Third Prize of the Town of Ronse’ worth EUR 500.

Studio 170│Residency in 2025

In the context of the interdisciplinary scientific research project ‘RE-WIRING: Realizing Girls’ and Women’s Inclusion, Representation, and Empowerment’ funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe program, KU Leuven invites visual artists specializing in mural making to submit proposals for a short residency at Campus Sint-Jacob in Spring 2025\. Exact length of the residency may vary depending on the selected artist’s working methods and their personal situation. 

  
The residency, run under the heading ‘Women on The Move’, is expected to result in three artistic outputs: **1)** a mural at KU Leuven, Campus Sint-Jacob in Antwerp: **2)** 2-3 socially engaged, participatory, and co-creative workshops leading to the creation of the mural, and: **3)** visual documentation of the process, which may include written reflections or accompanying text. The final mural should aim to challenge and disrupt gendered stereotypes related to women and migration, as well as the gendered logics underpinning the unequal organisation of society in the contexts of coloniality, global capitalism, and planetary destruction. Additionally, the mural should propose alternative relational imaginaries that are inclusive, creating space for multiplicity and difference. 

  
We particularly welcome proposals from artists from underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds. In keeping with the social history of mural making and the RE-WIRING project’s innovative ‘transformative equality approach’ to societal change, an affinity with socially engaged art and experience with participatory and co-creative methods is desirable. This could involve, for example, working with a particular migrant community to design the final mural.

  
The mural will be displayed indoors indefinitely at KU Leuven, Campus Sint-Jacob (SintJacobsmarkt 49-51, 2000 Antwerp). 

**What we offer you:**

• Honorarium (5000 euro).

• Production costs (max. 1200 euro).

• An indoor wall (approx. 6,28m x 4,56) for an indefinite placement of your mural within the KU Leuven Antwerp, Campus Sint-Jacob.

• Visibility of, and access to view, your mural from the street.

• Have your mural contribute to an interdisciplinary and international dialogue on gender equality as part of the scientific research project ‘RE-WIRING: Realizing Girls’ and Women’s Inclusion, Representation, and Empowerment’.

• Inclusion of your mural in an online exhibition catalogue featuring four other international art exhibitions and artistic responses focused on the inclusion, representation, and empowerment of women and girls.

• Inclusion of your artwork created during the residency in a small publication.

RE-WIRING: ‘Women on The Move’

SaveArtSpace, in collaboration with the UNM-Taos Art Department, and See You Next Thursday (SYNT) is proud to present the **New/New initiative**, an open call inviting artists living in New York and New Mexico to explore the theme of **"Transcendental Landscapes."** This theme seeks to bridge the connection between the vibrant, metropolitan energy of New York and the mystical, expansive beauty of New Mexico, highlighting the transient connections in both lands that unite us all. Curated by Paige Beeber and Sarah Stolar.

The **New/New initiative** aims to create a dialogue between the bustling streets of New York and the serene landscapes of New Mexico, recognizing that both are sites of powerful, transient connections. Whether through the physical spaces that shape our lives or the metaphysical journeys that shape our souls, these places, both with known vortexes, are a testament to the shared human experience that connects us across time and place.

**Artists are invited to interpret the theme of "Transcendental Landscapes" as expansively as possible**. The **metaphysical aspect** may involve explorations of identity, memory, spirituality, or the subconscious, while the **physical aspect** might include depictions of natural environments, urban spaces, or entirely imagined worlds. **This theme is open to any creative expression that engages with the idea of "landscape" or “place” in its broadest sense, encouraging submissions from all mediums and disciplines.**

**“Transcendental Landscapes”** encompass both the metaphysical and physical, inviting interpretations that go **beyond traditional representations of landscapes**. This open call encourages artists of all disciplines to consider how landscapes—whether they are natural environments, urban scenes, symbolic spaces, or imagined realms—can evoke transcendence, transformation, and connection.

The **metaphysical aspect** of transcendental landscapes speaks to the spiritual, philosophical, and abstract dimensions. It is about the landscapes within—the emotional topographies, the spiritual journeys, and the mental terrains that shape our understanding of the world and ourselves. These are the landscapes of the mind and soul, where one might encounter the sublime, the infinite, or the transcendent.

Conversely, the **physical aspect** grounds these explorations in the material world. Here, the landscapes might take on recognizable forms—mountains, forests, oceans, or urban spaces—but they are imbued with a sense of the extraordinary. The physical landscapes serve as portals to the metaphysical, reminding us that the natural world is often the starting point for transcendence.

This open call seeks to uncover the diverse ways in which landscape and place—real or imagined, external, or internal—serve as powerful vessels for transcendence and discovery. This initiative will bridge the connections between the metropolitan energy of New York and the magical allure of New Mexico, celebrating the profound links that bind two vastly different places rooted in rich artistic legacies.

Selected artists to showcase their work as public art on ad spaces in New Mexico and New York City. 

New/New initiative

We are seeking disabled artists for a Los Angeles-based 3-month research and creative exploration fellowship that explores the intersections of haptics and disability, harnessing the transformative power of touch and creative technology to reimagine how we engage with the world and create new possibilities for learning, creativity and accessibility in immersive storytelling. A new landscape of experience design is now possible by combining immersive and interactive tools with new haptic vests, gloves, and hand/arm/feet tactile actuators. 

This fellowship is a partnership between the Haptics for Inclusion Lab, under the Narrative and Emerging Media Program at Arizona State University, and Leonardo CripTech Incubator.

Leonardo CripTech Incubator is an art and technology program for disability innovation. Encompassing labs, workshops, fellowships, presentations, publication, and education, this innovation incubator is a community platform for disabled artists to engage and remake creative technologies through the lens of accessibility. Employing a broad understanding of technologies, including prosthetic tools, neural networks, software, and the built environment, CripTech Incubator reimagines enshrined notions of how a body-mind can move, look, and communicate. 

The Haptics for Inclusion Lab, under the Arizona State University Narrative and Emerging Media program, ignites imagination using haptics technology as a force for perceptual change and inclusion of the most marginalized in our society. The Haptics for Inclusion Lab combines the power of haptics - testing out new haptics technologies including gloves, vests, full body suits and custom made devices - with immersive storytelling to explore the full potential of haptics technology in the creative narrative process.

  
**ACTIVITIES**

Participants will engage in activities emphasizing touch as a sensory modality, exploring its potential to reshape learning and creativity. The Fellowship will include a combination of presentations, prototyping sessions, and group discussions to address the ways in which haptics and disability-informed design can better support diverse communities. It will culminate in the creation of new artistic and technological prototypes that reflect both accessibility and creativity. Fellows will also receive support to develop and refine project proposals to pitch to granting and industry bodies. 

  
The Fellowship will take place at the Haptics for Inclusion Lab at the ASU California Center - Broadway (Herald Examiner Building) in Downtown Los Angeles alongside a virtual program of talks, workshops, and crit sessions. 

The fellowship requires once-a-week check-ins that can happen in person at the Haptics for Inclusion lab or online. The schedule will be determined in consultation with staff and fellows.
