Residency Oppertunity

Residency Opportunity
Contents May Vary are looking for artists to take part in a series of 24 hour residencies. Artists will work site-responsively within the confines of a narrow boat which is travelling to 3 destinations on the Aire & Calder Navigation: Sowerby Bridge, Hebden Bridge and Todmorden.

For Boatelier, Contents May Vary invite the public to participate in a series of event-based works on the confines of a narrow boat along the Rochdale canal.
The Manchester based artist collective have historically responded to and exhibited in alternatives to white-walled gallery spaces, orchestrating public interactions with everyday objects and ideas.

Contents May Vary are inviting artists to become 24 hour residents on the narrow boat during the project. Artists In Residence will join the Boatelier crew and as well as engaging in Contents May Vary's events will have the opportunity to develop and present additional exhibits to the Boatelier collection.

At the advertised times, residents and visitors are invited to join Contents May Vary and the Artists In Residence aboard the narrow boat for a cup of tea or glass of wine to enjoy, discuss and contribute the events.

The result of the residency will be shown as part of the aboard exhibition and as part of the Social Club 2010 finale at East Street Arts, Union 105.

There is no fee or material/travel bursaries available. Accommodation aboard Boatelier is free.

The residencies will take place on the 17th/18th/19th/20th October 2010

To apply: Send a 500 word maximum statement detailing why this residency is of interest to you with supporting images, your current CV and links to relevant websites/blogs to c-m-v@hotmail.co.uk with the subject Boatelier Residency .

DEADLINE Fri 8th October 2010
