The Banff Centre Spring residencies Canada banffcentre.ca Last Call for Applications: Banff Research in Culture 2015 Demos: Life in Common Dates: June 1–19, 2015 Demos: Life in Common invites participants to consider the ways in which we constitute and experience collective life in this century. We seek to bring together artists, writers, researchers, and cultural producers who in their work are exploring the ways in which we might reinvigorate democratic life today—not just democratic in its narrow, political sense, but as life in common in which being and belonging engenders the full flourishing of individuals and communities. What new forms might politics take today—a time that bears little resemblance to those bygone centuries that gave birth to many of our political structures and imaginings? How is collective self-determination mobilized and what do recent events demonstrate about the will of the people and the will of the state? What is the role of new technologies in enhancing or impeding social equality? Might it yet help to create new forms of community and belonging? And how might contemporary cultural, artistic and intellectual activities enliven the belief of the demos in its own capacities and possibilities? Apply by December 10, 2014. Find out more here.

Banff International Curatorial Institute Critical Art Writing Ensemble April 27–May 15, 2015 Faculty: Andrew Berardini, Quinn Latimer This residency will treat critical art writing as an aspect of literature—exhibition catalogues can expand into short novels and stories; reviews into haikus and soliloquies that can transcend the ephemerality of quotidian journalism. Together participants will read and compose writing that will have the wetness of literature: narrative and poetic potential, emotional/political/spiritual/intellectual engagement, creative approaches to form,, and highly distinctive points of view backboned by serious analysis.
