Interactive Art Installation: Applications Sought

Type:

Country:

Eligibility:

We are looking to commission an artist or collective to envision and create an interactive art installation to mark the 10th Anniversary of the To Absent Friends festival in Scotland.

The 10th To Absent Friends Festival will take place across Scotland 1-7 November 2023.

We want to mark this occasion by creating a new, interactive artwork that engages members of the public in remembering and celebrating people in their lives who have died.

We are therefore looking to commission an artist or collective to envision and create a piece of art:
• in an outdoor public space in Scotland during 1-7 November 2023.
• that makes passersby curious and comfortable to engage.
• that encourages the public to contribute to or interact with it in some way.
• that encourages the public to remember or tell stories or reminisce about people in their lives who have died and who remain important to them. (Please note, the focus should be on remembrance and storytelling, rather than on grief and loss.)
• that is sensitive to the diversity of the Scottish population and the variety of experiences of loss that are present in Scotland.
• that is visually striking and provides a talking point for press releases about the TAF festival.
• that has no negative environmental impact.

Budget
The budget for this project, including artist time and materials, is £7500 (including any VAT).

Timeline
Application deadline: 12 noon Monday 7 August 2023
Interviews/discussion: Week beginning 21 August 2023
The successful applicant will be notified by 1st September 2023.
The artwork needs to be ready for display/public participation during the week 1-7 November 2023, as part of the To Absent Friends Festival.
