Gesture is an exhibition and series of performances that will take place in Corby, Northamptonshire, from September 2012 to June 2013. Comprising work in a range of media – including live art, video and performance – Gesture will explore ways in which relationships and social interaction can be signified, controlled and communicated through the conduit of the hand.

We are inviting artists to apply for two Artist in Residence opportunities as part of the project. The artists will be based predominantly at, and engage with visitors to, The Cube in Corby.

Artist in Residence 1

An artist in residence is sought for a period of three months on a part time, two days per week basis. The artist will work with the local community to explore ideas around gesture within the context of their own practice for a period from September to December 2012.

Applications should be submitted by email to: info@fermynwoods.co.uk

Application Deadline: 12 Aug 2012

Applications should include:
1. Outline of proposal
2. Up to six images of work (max 1MB), links to websites or video work online, or send via Drop Box or similar.
3. CV with relevant experience highlighted, in terms of artistic practice and in relation to community engagement.
