First, de Appel in Amsterdam is calling for curatorial submissions to their 2010/2011 programme. They're offering the opportunity to research theoretical issues and developments with their tutorial team, meet artists and curators in the Netherlands and wider, and perhaps a research trip outside Western Europe.
Initiated in 1994 the Curatorial Programme of Arts Centre de Appel wishes to offer young curators a condensed package of experiences and skills that can be used as tools and instruments during the further development of their professional career. De Appel is an internationally oriented arts centre located in Amsterdam that functions as a site for research and presentation of contemporary visual arts through a series of exhibitions, performances publications and discursive events.
They've got a little more information on their site. Applications are due 15 January 2010.

The Arts Centre in Christchurch has paired up with the Asia New Zealand Foundation to offer an Arts Residency Exchange in Korea. Up for grabs is a fully-funded 3-month residency in Seoul, at the Changdong Arts Studio, run by the National Museum of Contemporary Art.
The Arts Centre don't seem to have the info up on their site yet, so hit up Creative NZ for the application brief.
(Found some stuff about the launch of Changdong's residency programme, with photos.)
