Description

The 500 Capp Street Foundation (500CSF), the parent organization for the historic home and studio of Bay Area conceptual artist David Ireland, seeks funding for the inaugural year of two collection and archives fellowships. Framed as both educational and professional training opportunities, the fellows will work with the organization’s director and archivist to research and catalogue art and archival collections, program exhibition spaces around diverse local histories of conceptual art, apply decolonizing approaches to the study and presentation of non-Western holdings, and interact with the visiting public, local artists and communities. The fellows would assist visiting artists who derive their work from engagement with 500CSF’s growing archival holdings and library of publications and ephemera from 20 th -century Bay Area experimental art spaces, and they will also contribute essays to 500CSF’s online publication, “The Cabinet.”  500CSF envisions these fellowships as key opportunities for recent graduates of college programs (in studio art, art practice, museum studies, curatorial studies, art history, or related fields) from Bay Area schools, to whom they will reach out through an open call for applications. During this inaugural year, 500CSF will seek long-term funding for the fellowships.
