The Home Workspace Program (HWP) is an annual, interdisciplinary arts program launched by Ashkal Alwan, the Lebanese Association for Plastic Arts in 2011. The program targets emerging artists who wish to develop their formal, historical, and critical skills and practice in a supportive environment in Beirut.

Home Workspace Program (HWP) announces the call for applications to its 3rd edition, with resident professors Jalal Toufic and Anton Vidokle.

Deadline for applications is Sunday February 24, 2013.

Creating and Dispersing Universes that Work without Working
Jalal Toufic & Anton Vidokle
“Thematically divided into two chapters, led by Toufic and Vidokle consecutively, the program will focus on artistic concerns ranging from how to build and/or disperse a universe that doesn’t fall apart ‘two days’ later, to an inquiry into work in art practice and the possibility of its deactivation and (thus) of sovereign art. The program will be comprised of a seminar by Jalal Toufic that draws on cinema, art, literature and science; exhibitions and publishing projects organized by Anton Vidokle in collaboration with students, visiting artists and e-flux journal; as well as independent research and artistic projects by the program’s participants.
“The program will loosely follow a process of making a film, including postproduction. The application process could function as the preproduction of the program, so we encourage applicants to submit, in lieu or in addition to the cover letter, a 3-minute video discussing their practice and its (strange) attractor(s).”
