[Ada_list] ANAT 2014 Synapse Art + Science Residency :: Applications now open

*apologies for cross posting*

ANAT is calling for applications from artists and scientists/researchers
for the prestigious Synapse Residency program. Now in its eighth round, the
program is a core element of the Synapse initiative of the Australia
Council for the Arts and ANAT, which supports collaboration between artists
and scientists.

The residencies are open to Australian artists working in any discipline
and/or medium. Residencies shall take place over 16 weeks full-time (or
part-time equivalent) during the 2014 calendar year.

To ensure a good fit between the artist and host organisation, a joint
application must be submitted. It is the responsibility of the applicants
to establish contact and to identify the nature of the proposed
collaboration prior to application. Those with existing relationships are
strongly encouraged to apply.

The residencies have a creative research focus and it is not expected that
they will result in the production of new work. The residencies may also be
approached as a platform for testing and informing a longer-term research
project suitable for submission to the ARC Synapse Linkage program.

*DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 5PM (CDT), FRIDAY 7th of FEBRUARY 2014*

Guidelines, including an application cover sheet, can be downloaded here:
