Residencies at The Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home

CALL FOR PROPOSALS AND RESIDENCIES

The Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home is now open for visits, project proposals and residencies. 

The Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home is a space for dissenting the Capitalism of Culture and has been set up to coincide with Liverpool 08, European Capital of Culture.

The Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home is run by twoaddthree (Gary Anderson, Lena Simic add Neal, Gabriel and Sid) from a council property bedroom in Liverpool, with the annual running budget of £2, 857.10 (10% of twoaddthree's combined annual net income, i.e. two 0.5 lectureship salaries, some freelance work, tax credits and child benefit). We are interested in DISSENT and would like to, in collaboration, discuss and research homemade aesthetics, the private/the public, the familial, class and money matters. 

We are a very small home-run initiative. In addition to food and accommodation, we can afford to pay each visiting artist/cultural activist/collective/grouping etc. a very limited amount, with the top amount being £238.09. 

When applying please outline (in no more than one page of A4 – having three kids, part time jobs and running The Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home is an extremely demanding business):

• What you would like to do at the Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home
• How long you would like to stay (old Balkan saying goes: Svakog gosta tri dana dosta! Each guest is enough after three days – but we are flexible and easy to persuade). And please don't forget to tell us when. 
• How your project relates to DISSENT (and/or homemade/DIY aesthetics, family matters, home, private/public)
• Budget

Short bio (300 words max) and links is a plus but not essential!

Please send it all as an attachment to theinstitute@twoaddthree.org, with subject line: RESIDENCY
