A multi-disciplinary roving project space
supporting work realised all over South Africa.
Goethe-Institut Project Space (GPS) is a multi-disciplinary
roving project space that follows on GoetheOnMain, which was based at Arts On
Main in Johannesburg from May 2009 to November 2016. The new programme will
support work realised all over South Africa ranging from workshops to
exhibitions, events and performances; including visual art, literature, film,
music, dance and theatre projects.
GPS is envisioned as a non-commercial,
artist-centred free platform, designed to support not only the artists and
their projects, but also the many structures, spaces and festivals that
currently exist and need partnerships of this nature to continue their work.
GPS enables actors, artists, performers,
curators, choreographers, writers, dancers, composers, directors, and musicians
to select the space and infrastructure they wish to work with. If awarded, a
GPS grant would support both the hosting space and the project itself.
The new project signals a move to
decentralise, supporting smaller spaces, and those situated outside the large
metropoles. Practitioners will be able to produce their work locally with a
partner of their choice and a GPS grant.
Similarly to the GoetheOnMain project that
preceded it, a public call for proposals is presided over by an independent
jury of arts professionals, who make the project selection.
The Goethe-Institut looks forward to seeing
installations, workshops, events and performances; including visual art,
literature, film, music, public art, dance and theatre work; realised
throughout South Africa through GPS grants.
GPS forms part of the Goethe-Institut’s
programme that promotes intercultural engagement through fostering dialogue and
exchange in the arts.
Application Deadline: September 5, 2017. Realisation
Period: January to December, 2018
