In 2012 Vasl Artists’ Collective is hosting its third international workshop in Karachi, Pakistan. Workshops are short intensive residencies that include a diverse range of participants in a larger group than regular residency programmes at Vasl. This workshop will focus on performance, moving image and sound.
Applications are open for ten Pakistani and international artists practicing in these mediums, and for those interested in working with performance, moving image and sound for the occasion of the workshop. Artworks will be developed throughout the project and shown to the public through interventions in the city over the two weeks and at an ‘open day’ display on the final weekend.
Applications should include:
· A cover letter detailing your interest in participating, (no more than 800 words).
· A CV with portrait.
· Contact details of two referees.
· Documentation of previous works. (Please do not send files of more than 8MB over email. Send any large files via filesharing sources – Yousendit/Dropbox, etc, or provide website links to works viewable online.)
Practical details:
Materials, per diems and transport costs will be paid for though artists applying from Western Europe and North America will be requested to fund their own flights to Karachi.
Visas for Pakistan will be organised by all artists from consulates in their home countries with documentation and information-based assistance from Vasl.
Personal insurance and insurance for any specialised equipment brought to Pakistan should be organised by the artists individually.
Vasl reserves the right to refuse applications, which will be viewed by a panel of working group members.
