project proposals

MEANTIME runs a programme of artists’ residencies, regular and one-off events, and curated group projects. It offers space to test ideas, for active, critical, cultural production and debate, rather than for the routine reproduction and exhibition of art.

Artists are invited to submit project proposals for short residencies or single events, to research/produce and/or present/perform new work, or to curate group projects (the current open call for submissions is here). Proposals needn't be confined to prescribing an outcome or final piece of work, but may outline a methodology or approach to practice.

There are two main project-spaces (light/dark, large/small). Resident artists generally work at the building from a weekend to a fortnight at a time, depending on the requirements of the project. Artists aren’t charged to work in the building and there may be a production bursary available. A floorplan and photos of the spaces are here.

Projects culminate in a public presentation, and/or open studio during the residency. Additional events, such as screenings, are welcomed. Work is not generally exhibited for an extended time after the residency, but it may be considered.

Contact project co-ordinator Sarah B to discuss residency/event/group project proposals and to arrange site visits.
