Version: 0.06
Recompression is a Burning Man-inspired Temporary Autonomous Zone open to be defined by any and all of its participants. The vision is to create a radically inclusive and self supporting community that will transcend mundane realities by keeping the sacred fires of Burning Man alive as an annual regional event beyond Black Rock City. We are all Participants. We have been a part of, or express values in the spirit of Burning Man. These values include: the support of radical individual freedom, the collective construction of cooperative spaces, volunteering and participation, visionary creativity, active gifting, celebratory ritual, the encouragement of growth and sharing of knowledge. We will carry out this vision and honor it through art, performance, theme camps, music, dance, verbal and physical communication.
You have likely been impressed and inspired by the art, sculpture and installations at various festivals, we are encouraging you to create art of your own for many enthusiastic people to admire and interact with! You have appreciated many unique and original performances, consider developing something for one or all of our regional events that lead up to Burning Man! We are here to endorse your ideas by offering ART GRANTS to SUPPORT YOU IN IMPLEMENTING YOUR CREATIVE VISION of whatever scale. The Greater Vancouver Interactive Arts Society (GVIAS) is being established and will focus on the funding of community art for our regional events. Yes, art grants, to help you make it happen!
Should I be awarded a grant, how much will I receive?
This varies with particular projects. Grants normally pay for only a portion of production costs. We may pay for material costs, but not for time/labor. Artists should be ready to seek out other methods and sources of funding for larger scale projects. As a matter of principle, it is preferred that you develop various kinds of non-monetary resources, such as support from friends and reuse of equipment and recycling of supplies. This effort on your part encourages collaboration and cooperation within our extended community.
As a proposed policy, the art grants are available to assist you in bringing your art to Recompression. As such we will consider funding your proposal based on the following factors:
1. Consumables (propane, wood to be burned, paper, paint, glue, screws) – This is ideally what the art grant is for and as such we may fund up to 100% of consumable based on the proposal
2. Transportation costs – We may consider covering a portion of transportation costs but it is up to you to justify it
3. Assets – (items you will keep and reuse) We would expect you to try to cover the cost of desired assets through fund raising first. If you are unable to cover the cost of the asset you may still apply to have an art grant help you purchase it.
All proposals will be vetted by the GVIAS board. A failure to execute your proposed art project at Recompression may result in you either repaying the art grant or having to install it at another GVIAS event upon the discretion of the GVIAS board.
What if I have a request for an art grant of $50 or less?
Smaller scale grants allow for spontaneous interactive projects or displays to be brought to the event and supported. Requests for Art Grants of $50. or less are assessed differently than applications over $50.
You can do one of two things:
1. Put forward a one page proposal including
Cover Sheet: Artist name, address, phone, email and title of artwork or project
Physical Description: including the final vision, materials, and the intended interactive component (if any).
Philosophical Statement: What the art means to you and what you are trying to communicate to participants. Please be somewhat brief.
Itemized budget: list all expenses for material costs. Do not list "artist's fee" as we do not cover those expenses. You must total your costs and give us a final number.
Interactive art projects are most encouraged. These grants will be based on us receiving proposals and applications at artgrants@recompression.com.
OR
2. Submit a request for reimbursement of receipts during the first week following Recompression. That means before April 15, 2008.
Requests for reimbursement of receipts will be reviewed during the two weeks after the event. To qualify for remaining art grants, receipts must be provided. They would be awarded as funding permits in the order of their submission to artgrants@recompression.com Please make “request for reimbursement” your subject line. Do not cc anyone; all members of the grant committee are on the art grants address.
What are the criteria for awarding art grants?
· Interactivity with people and the environment. Interactive art summons a culture around itself. It generates roles. It provokes actions. It directs attention to the surrounding world. It transforms participants into active contributors to your creative process. It transcends the static conception of an art object that is contemplated by a detached audience.
· Interaction may be achieved in variety of ways. Sometimes, the mere act of encounter is sufficient, as in the case of artwork spread out within a special field of space that participants explore. Artwork may impart a gift or token. Likewise, works may be designed to receive something from people. Works may be activated by participants or by forces of nature, or they may function as social environments. Interactive artworks may also be made mobile, bringing an experience to passersby.
· There will always be a place and time within the sphere of art for the perfect object-- something so astonishing in itself that the simple act of contemplation is reward enough-- and this, in a way, defines the essential nature and value of art. However, with planning, we have found nearly any form of conventional art can be engendered with an interactive aspect.
· The thoroughness of your proposal.
· Ability for the reusability of your art on the playa or at other events.
What must my proposal include?
· Cover Sheet: Artist name, address, phone, email and title of artwork.
· Physical Description: including dimensions, materials, and sound component (if any).
· Philosophical Statement: What the art means to you and what you are trying to communicate to participants. Please be somewhat brief.
· Itemized budget: list all expenses for material costs, including transportation. Research your costs carefully and be specific. Do not list "contingency costs" or "artist's fee" as we do not cover those expenses. You must total your costs and give us a final number.
· Do you have an adequate crew to build, install and clean up your project? Please describe your support team as it relates to the creation of the art, playa support and dismantling/cleanup. Describe the roles and skills needed even if you do not have a complete crew at this time.
· Timeline – pre-event construction schedule which reflects your budget e.g., when materials will be purchased, when stages of construction will be completed. Please include an onsite arrival and construction plan.
· You must check in directly with the Placement Co-coordinator one week before the event. The artwork must be ready as per your own schedule which you provide.
· Leave No Trace: A well thought out breakdown and clean-up plan and schedule. You may not leave anything behind.
· Detailed drawings, sketches, and plans, hand-drawn or computer generated. You may also send photographs with your proposal. Please limit your proposal to 5 pages maximum.
· Burning Artwork: If your artwork utilizes open fire such as candles, torches, fire barrels, or raised containers, please describe in detail. If artwork is to be engulfed in flames, please describe your ground protection. Include a detailed drawing showing how the art will be situated on it.
· If your artwork utilizes flame effects, flames that are automated, switched, pressurized or having any other action than simply being lit on fire, including propane or liquid fuels, describe in detail. Include a detailed drawing of fuel lines and tanks.
· Details of any safety measures required and in operation – fire extinguish placement, shut off value labeling, signage, and fencing
When you arrive at the event location, prearranged volunteers MAY be available to assist you in placing your art at its assigned location. Although we prefer that you remain completely self-sufficient, we will do our best to assist you with your art if needed. All requests for this support should be included in your proposal.
How do I submit my proposal?
You must submit your proposal electronically, even if you also mail or drop off a physical version of the proposal. Please use Word or PDF files for documents. Please do not send attachments without contact information. For larger files (over 1MB) please put your proposal on a URL and send us one URL for all of your files. Do not send a separate attachment for each component. A PDF with your complete proposal on it is the preferred way to apply. A website with all info on ONE page is also acceptable. Send your completed proposal only once - wait until it is final to send. Do not send multiple iterations with revisions, additions, etc.
One proposal only please!
Please email one proposal to ARTGRANTS@RECOMPRESSION.COM The subject line must be the name of your project, in CAPS. Do not cc anyone; all members of the grant committee are on the art grants address.
If you can not submit your proposal as specified above, any non-digital drawings can be mailed or hand delivered to All-is-on Eden Andrews by appointment at set date and time, include this request in your email to artgrants@recompression.com
What is the timeline for art grant proposals?
As Recompression is fast approaching, please submit your proposals as soon as possible. We will not accept any proposals after midnight March 26th, 2008. Please ensure that you give adequate time for revisions, placement and approvals.
