"Call for Artists: 2 Artists-in-Residences Art/Biotechnology"
2002-08-07 until 2002-09-10
Arts Catalyst, the Science-Art Agency
London, , UK United Kingdom

The Arts Catalyst & Gallery Oldham are looking for 2 artists-in-residence, primarily to lead participatory activities on themes of art/biotechnology: A Media Artist, and A Theatre / Live Art Practitioner. For 15 day residencies during the CLEANROOMS exhibition at Gallery Oldham, Oldham, Greater Manchester, UK. October / November 2002

Experienced and motivated artists, interested in engaging the public with issues connected with art and biotechnology, are sought. These residencies are intended to support the CleanRooms exhibition, which presents art works that challenge responses to a science often perceived as secretive and sinister: biotechnology. Exploring ideas of contamination and containment, ethics and accountability, CleanRooms asks the audience to decide how far they themselves would go with the emerging powers of genetic manipulation.

For the media artist, half the time can be spent on your own work, utilising Gallery Oldham’s media facilities, and half the time engaging with the public.

For more information about the CleanRooms exhibition see: http://www.artscatalyst.org/htm/cleanrooms.htm
