CYON FLEX · Vienna · Independent creative practice
Independent work.
Shared possibilities.
Art, music, literature, comics, film, performance and independent publishing by Tara Ann-Marie Allen, B.A.
I am developing my independent creative business and looking for people and organisations to invest in, commission, sponsor or support the work.
Twelve pages introducing the practice, projects and ways to work together.
01 / The practice
One practice.
Many ways to connect.
CYON FLEX brings together an established body of visual art, recorded music, performance and independent publications. Some works stand alone; others form part of larger projects. My aim is to connect this work with sustainable production, publishing, distribution and direct sales.
02 / Ways to work together
Find your place in the work.
Business development
Discuss a partnership supporting the creative enterprise, its catalogue, sales infrastructure and long-term development.
Projects & commissions
Support a defined publication, artwork, recording, exhibition or performance, with an agreed scope, budget and schedule.
Sponsorship & patronage
Help make independent creative work and public resources possible through project sponsorship or patron support.
03 / Project opportunities
Work already taking shape.
SUCCESSION
An independent magazine series combining writing, original artwork and editorial production. Opportunities include printing, publishing and distribution.
Visual art
Handmade collage, painting, drawing and constructed paper. Opportunities include exhibitions, commissions and agreed editions.
Music & live work
A recorded catalogue dating from 2009 alongside songwriting and performance. Opportunities include releases, live presentation and licensing discussions.
Literature & comics
Literary and visual storytelling, including LAGOON, a manuscript in development. Opportunities include editing, illustration and publishing.
04 / The approach
Clear agreements.
Creative independence.
Each partnership begins with a conversation about the work, the intended outcome and what each person contributes. Budgets, deliverables, credit, rights and payment terms are agreed for the individual project.
Supporting a project does not automatically transfer ownership of existing artwork, music, writing or other creative rights.
Let’s talk
Help the next chapter happen.
Tell me which project interests you and the kind of partnership you would like to discuss.
