Description

Between January and March 2017 Gallery II at University of Bradford will host its third Art Lab. Individuals and groups from a variety of disciplines are invited to use the Gallery as a space in which to share ideas; show and develop new work; host discussions, screenings and workshops; foster new collaborations; and plan long-term projects. There is a focus on interdisciplinary learning and varied approaches to research that aim to traverse boundaries between so-called ‘hard’ and ‘social’ sciences.

Each lab has a loose theme or thread that runs through the activity. For this Lab we are particularly interested in artists, musicians and creative practitioners working with technology in creative and critical ways - particularly with augmented and virtual reality, mobile devices and cyberspace - and research and practice around labour theory, alternative economies, and feminist and autonomous activity.

As well as the gallery space itself we are able to offer a contribution towards materials and travel as well as administrative and production support in kind. If you are interested in taking the opportunity to develop work in the unique context of a technology institute in one of the UK’s most diverse cities then please send an outline of the project you would like to develop (no more than 500 words, preferably with images and/or links to video and online work) to Andy Abbott, Producer Music and Visual Arts, on a.abbott1@bradford.ac.uk by 5pm Monday Nov 7th.

The Arts Labs at Gallery II form part of a programme to develop a centre for socially applied arts, supported by Arts Council England and University of Bradford.
