NYU Postdoctoral and Transition Program for Academic Diversity Fellowship

New York University (NYU) is dedicated to ensuring that its scholarly community is ready to compete in a global world and is enriched by individuals reflecting diverse ancestries, perspectives and experiences. Diversity at NYU has historically been broadly defined, encompassing differences across categories of race and ethnicity, gender, age, ability, political belief, economic status, and sexual orientation. NYU recognizes the value of a diverse community in supporting an intellectually challenging and inclusive educational environment. To that end, NYU has created the NYU Postdoctoral and Transition Program for Academic Diversity fellowship program to support promising scholars and educators from different backgrounds, races, ethnic groups, and other under-represented groups whose life experience, research experience, and employment background will contribute significantly to academic excellence at NYU.

Looking for emerging, outside the system,and established artists for a show (looking back from the present) on AIDS/HIV, sex/gender, sexuality, queer politics & AIDS activism (aethetically), LGBT identity politics,queer communities, and queer kinship(s).

This is for a major exhibition in 2014. The exhibition is a re-examination AGAINST NATURE: AN EXHIBITION BY GAY MEN (curated by Dennis Cooper and Richard Hawkins at LACE in 1989): http://welcometolace.org/shop/publications/against-nature-a-show-by-homosexual-men/ The exhibition in 2014 will be called: "AFTER" AGAINST NATURE: 25 YEARS LATER.

The proposed exhibition "After" Against Nature will be a critical re-staging and a re-thinking of an earlier exhibition held at L.A.C.E. in 1989. It was titled Against Nature: A Show by Homosexual Men, which takes part of its title from Joris-Karl Huysmans seminal novel, and which was curated by Dennis Cooper and Richard Hawkins; it was held from January to February of 1989. Both curators are supportive of this re-exhibition, and a number of the exhibition's original artists are willing to re-show their work (not included as artists requested). In addition to “After” Against Nature, a one-day conference will consist of various discussions of "gay” and “queer” art, “gay” and “queer” aesthetics, and AIDS and activism in the art world—then and now. There will also be an artists’ talk, and a catalogue similar to the original one.

The Venice Printmaking Studio is an international studio devoted to large-format printmaking and artist’s books. Our 400m2 studio contains presses of both large and small dimensions, screen printing facilities and a letterpress.

We encourage the exploration of traditional as well as experimental printmaking practices and ideas. Through our residency programs, workshops, exhibitions, community projects and printmaking ventures we collaborate with the city of Venice and the Veneto Region.

To encourage, artists, students and teachers to travel, discover, enjoy and work in Venice, we offer different solutions in terms of costs and daily fees.

Each participant become also a member of the Venice Printmaking Association with several advantages in terms of free public transportation and entrances in the main museums and exhibitions in the city of Venice.

The struggle is to offer a long period stay for an overcoming price, giving the artists in residency the possibility to work in a unique environment living like autochthonous.

Arts/Industry is undoubtedly the most unusual ongoing collaboration between art and industry in the United States. Hundreds of emerging and established visual artists have benefited from the Arts/Industry program at Kohler Co. since its inception in 1974.

Participants are exposed to a body of technical knowledge that enables them to explore forms and concepts not possible in their own studios as well as new ways of thinking and working.

Artists-in-residence may work in the Kohler Co. Pottery, Iron and Brass Foundries, and Enamel Shop to develop a wide variety of work in clay, enameled cast iron, and brass including but not limited to

Fire Island Artist Residency (FIAR) is an organization founded in 2011 which brings lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and queer identifying emerging artists to Fire Island, a place long-steeped in LGBTQ history, to create, commune, and contribute to the location's rich artistic history.

FIAR provides free live/work space to five selected artist residents who work, research, relax, and immerse themselves in the Fire Island community, during which time they are visited by a handful of renowned visiting artists, curators, and art professionals who commune with residents through intimate visits, dinners, and discussions, providing support and feedback. The greater Fire Island community, and visitors from New York and Long Island, are invited to attend free public lectures by these esteemed guests of FIAR throughout the duration of the program. In this way, FIAR hopes to bring both new creative perspectives and prestigious art professionals together in this extraordinary location to foster the creation—and preservation—of queer art-making in contemporary art.
