Kasterlee, Belgium perioada: October 28 December 31, 2012 Frans Masereel Centrum and Z33 Open Call for curatorial proposals
for an exhibition on graphic arts http://www.fransmasereelcentrum.be Because of the need to broaden the network of both international and national curators, and in order to stimulate curatorial strategies and concepts in the field of graphic arts, the Frans Masereel Centrum and Z33, house for contemporary art, are launching an international open call for curatorial proposals. The objective is for the curator to examine and question graphic media from an art-historical and social background toward modern applications and social developments. Specific characteristics of graphic art applications, in terms of technicality and content, are examined in view of defining a conceptual basis for the project. The survey into the transdisciplinary nature of graphic art techniques and into new forms of presentation and implementation offers added value as well. Testing the boundaries of the graphic medium, and the research-based, critical and society-driven approach of the project are in line with the activities of Z33, at whose premises the exhibition will be held from 28 Oct. 31 Dec. 2012. The project fits in with the biannual curator projects organised by the Frans Masereel Centrum since 2004. These projects were initially developed to make the dynamics of graphic art and of the centre more widely known among the general public. The FMC offers artist in residency (AIR) programmes to graphic and non-graphic artists, i.e. artists who wish to complete a graphic art project within a certain timeframe. For the 2012 edition, which coincides with the 40th anniversary of the FMC, the organisation, together with Z33, plans to initiate the curator project via an international open call for curatorial proposals for the first time. We are looking for proposals that demonstrate innovative ideas and ambition: - Proposals must be submitted in English. - We encourage collective applications as well as transdisciplinary proposals. The written vision text should be up to 1000 words. It should contain a critical and innovative vision on graphic arts in relation to other disciplines and society, new forms of presentation and new forms of applications. As well as artists and/or works that visualise this perspective. The final curatorial concept should be process-based. The process should be an important element within the concept and needs to be documented. An open mind and dialogues on a regular base (with the organising institutes and the artists) are essential during the collaboration. The residencies and workshops at the Frans Masereel Centrum need to be used during the project (by curator and artists). The selected curator will develop a curatorial concept in collaboration with Frans Masereel Centrum and Z33 and will create the exhibition at Z33 from October 28 December 31, 2012. Minimum 5 meetings (in person) with Frans Masereel Centrum and Z33 will take place between April and September 2012. Candidates should be available during the period October 8-27, 2012 for the installation of the project at Z33. They should also be available during April / May 2012 for a short-term preparatory residency at Frans Masereel Centrum. A shortlist of three curators will be selected by a panel of international judges in January 2012. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to develop an exhibition concept proposal, for a second round of submissions, presented orally and judged in March 2012. The final curator will be selected in March 2012. Shortlisted candidates will receive a fee of 500,00 euro (all costs included, e.g. transport costs, ) for the creation of the exhibition concept proposal. The available budget for the curatorial project will be communicated to the shortlisted candidates in round 2. Interested emerging and established curators should submit the following: Written vision text on graphic arts including artist names and/or works (up to 1000 words) Curators cv (max. 2 pages) Curators contact information (including name, phone, address, email, website) Proposals should be sent via mail or email to postal or e-mail address below. data limita: 16/01/12 - postmark Kontakt: Frans Masereel Centrum Sofie Dederen Masereeldijk 5 2460 Kasterlee Belgium tel: +32 (0)14 85 22 50/52 fax: +32 (0)14 85 05 91 [email protected] www.fransmasereelcentrum.be sursa:artservis -- Moldova Young Artists Association "Oberliht" http://oberliht.com . . . . . . . . . . . https://lists.idash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/oberlist portal informational pentru arta si cultura din Moldova information gateway for arts and culture from Moldova _______________________________________________ oberlist mailing list [email protected] https://lists.idash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/oberlist
