2009藝術進駐台北計畫 國外徵件

號召--第五族群：台灣新住民藝文計畫 & 姐妹市藝術家進駐

今年「藝術進駐台北計劃」徵件，在往年平均錄取率不到5%的國外藝術家進駐申請外，另以專案贊助來自「東南亞」及「姐妹市」的創作者：經濟艙來回機票、工作室與免費住宿四至八週，申請類別包含：視覺、表演、文學、文創、跨領域與異業合作計畫，八月十八日截止收件。

「藝術進駐台北」雖然打著看似全新的招牌，實則以台北國際藝術村自2001年至今，經營起來的交流平台為核心，已有超過二百位國內外藝術家進駐台北，但東南亞籍或以東南亞為據點的藝術家並非多數。

    有鑒於台灣社會結構改變，東南亞移民及其第二代所組成的第五族群增加，台北市文化局希望透過東南亞藝術家進駐台北與市民產生互動，促進民眾對第五族群的文化背景與藝術發展有更深入的了解，故自2008年增加「第五族群：台灣新住民藝文計畫」，贊助五位嫺熟東南亞文化或以東南亞為據點的藝文創作者，包括：馬來西亞、泰國、菲律賓、新加坡、印尼、汶萊、寮國、柬埔寨、緬甸及越南 (不限國籍)。

    此外，為促進台北市與姐妹市間相互理解、溝通，今年特增設「姐妹市藝術進駐計劃」，開放姐妹市藝術家申請，共錄取三名。

2009 AIR Taipei Open Call for International Residence Projects

“Fifth Group：New Taiwan Immigrants” & “Sister-Cities-of-Taipei Artists in Residence”

For 2009 AIR Taipei Project for international artists, in addition to the “New Immigrants Taiwan” project for Southeast Asian artists, we also add one new project for artists from Sister Cities of Taipei. Selected applicants will be granted with a roundtrip economy class flight ticket, free accommodation and studio space in TAV for 4 to 8 weeks.

Since the establishment of Taipei Artist Village (TAV) in 2001, art exchange between local and international talents has been the most important mission. In 7 years TAV has sent nearly 80 Taiwan artists abroad for residency and over 200 international artists have been in residency in TAV activating in the city corners with art.

However, among the artists in residence, the number of South East Asian artists does not come to the top. Aware of the social changes and the fifth group, composed by the immigrants from South East Asia and their generation, The Department of Cultural Affairs, Taipei City Government would like to take this opportunity by encouraging artists/creators from this region to be in residency and interact with the local communities which will help the understanding of all groups. To be qualified to the fellowship of The fifth group: New Taiwan Immigrants, applicants should be either South East Asian nationalities or base in this region (Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Laos, Cambodia, Burma and Vietnam) with other nationalities.

In addition, to keep a good friendship between the cities, this year, we add a new project for artists from Sister Cities Taipei. Three projects will be selected.

Submitted project for the two fellowships mentioned above should be in one of the following categories: visual art, performing art, literature, creative industry or interdisciplinary project.

The application deadline for both domestic and international programs will be August 18, 2008.
