> Call For Entries
> The Métamatic Research Initiative is launching a call for entries to  
> commission six individual art works in line with its mission. The  
> initiative welcomes proposals from visual artists working in all  
> disciplines.
>
> The Métamatic Research Initiative's mission is to stimulate research  
> into ideas stemming from the work and philosophy of the French-Swiss  
> artist Jean Tinguely (1925-1991). Specifically, the research  
> initiative focuses on Tinguely's exploration of the relationship  
> between the artist, the art work and the viewer as expressed in his  
> Métamatic sculptures. The call for entries is part of a broader  
> effort of the initiative, in which funding will be given to both  
> academic and artistic research activities, ranging from educational  
> projects for young people to the commissioning of individual art  
> works.

> The Métamatic Research Initiative
> The Swiss born artist Jean Tinguely lived most of his artistic life  
> in Paris, where he was one of the initiators of the Nouveau Réalisme  
> movement in 1960. Tinguely was amongst the leading artists  
> incorporating movement and other time-based elements in his work. By  
> the late 1950s Tinguely embarked on a series of generative apparatus  
> he called Métamatics, based on the idea of machines producing art  
> works. With this series of works Tinguely not only problematised the  
> introduction of the robotic machine as interface in our society, but  
> moreover investigated the role of the artist, as well as that of the  
> art work and the viewer. Out of a fascination with this specific  
> topic within Tinguely's work the initiative wishes to stimulate  
> research into the ways in which contemporary artists deal with the  
> relation between artist, viewer and art work. This project kicked  
> off on 25-27 October, when the Initiative hosted an expert meeting  
> in Amsterdam where 9 renowned scholars and artists gathered to  
> discuss the topic, and to set parameters for further artistic and  
> academic research.
>
> The aim of this research is two-fold:
> •	to generate a high-profile collection of 'art producing objects',
> •	to support and stimulate awareness and knowledge on the subject  
> through:
> scientific research, exhibitions, and educational programmes on  
> different levels.
>
> Who are we?
> The Métamatic Research Initiative is an initiative of the All Art  
> Initiatives Foundation, based in Amsterdam. The foundation is a  
> privately funded non-profit foundation set up to stimulate visual  
> art through the funding of:

> •	monographs on artists and other publications,
> •	projects that will increase exposure and make the media available  
> to a wider audience,
> •	stimulate the incorporation of relevant works in public  
> collections, both in the Netherlands and abroad.
