Current Open Calls for Projects include:

2016 London Biennale Manila Pollination - Synchronisations - Syncopations

As part of the Transart Triennale, the 2016LBMP team, led by Josephine Turalba, is seeking submissions of videos that explore built, temporary, and imagined architecture for understanding shared histories, culture and inter-connectedness, within a framework of 'The Imperceptible Self'. Spurring dialogues on syncopations of the permanent and synchronisations of the displaced through built and imaginary structures, artists engage the borrowed concepts of adaptive re-use, sustainability, and repurposing from architectural frameworks vis-à-vis contemporary existences, otherness, the collective, individual and hybrid identities.

The 2016LBMP extends from the energies of London Biennale, founded in 1998 by David Medalla, an internationally-acclaimed Filipino conceptual artist based in London, which aims "to challenge and transform the notion of the art world 'biennale' as a large state or corporate-sponsored event...by throwing open borders and encouraging a more intimate and community-based dialogue between the artists and audiences."

Iconographic Dictionary on Collective and Collaborative Artistic Practices
Curated by Paz Ponce (ESP)

The aim of this project is to wonder what are the shapes, formats, content, tactics and aesthetics of collective and collaborative artistic practices. The nature of the projects gathered by this dictionary is open. What we are interested in portraying is, precisely, the variety of frameworks enveloping collective and collaborative artistic processes. Given that we are talking about approaches to art production rather than objects, the challenge lies, then, in identifying the forms these processes manifest into; their resonances. What stays from these “trading zones” where new modes of trust and knowledge are built and exchanged between the various social actors conveying in these temporary joint creative spaces? Are there formats, patterns or shapes that permeate all this immaterial landscape of encounters, relationships, in between-ness, negotiations, conflicts and consensus?

About Transart Institute
WE BEGAN as an independent, utopian, post-national and transdisciplinary “unschool art school”, embodying the idea that participation in a vibrant and current graduate experience requires nomadic possibilities untethered to geography. The focus and strength of Transart has centered on an exceptional international teaching, research and learning program that leads to an MFA or PhD in creative, curatorial and transcultural practices. Adopting a respiratory model of meeting and dispersing, Transart positions itself in the gaps where art practice, knowledge production and research processes operate; in the tensions between, across, through and beyond recognised paradigms. Encouraging active student-driven learning over passive educational models, our students and faculty
