MARCO/FRAC Lorraine Award for young curators 2012 MARCO, Museo de Arte Contemporánea de Vigo and 49 Nord 6 Est - FRAC Lorraine, Metz (Fonds régional dart contemporain de Lorraine) organize the MARCO/Frac Lorraine Award for Young Exhibition Curators. This award gives participants the opprtunity to submit a topic of research and reflection which is of personal interest, and the possibility to bring it to fruition in the exhibition venues at MARCO (first-floor gallery) and at FRAC Lorraine. The originality of the proposed thesis and the pertinence of the suggested references will be key in the selection of the award winner.
The winning project will result either in a single exhibition shown first at MARCO (Vigo, Spain) and then at FRAC Lorraine (Metz, France), or as a dual exhibition mounted simultaneously at both locations. The requisite theme of the exhibition is at the heart of the work. The final version of the winning project, as well as the list of selected works, will be developed and finalized in close collaboration with the directors of MARCO and of FRAC Lorraine in the course of two working residencies. The goal is to have the exhibition take into account the architectural specificities of each location and local contexts of each venue. The proposal must be within the field of contemporary thought and may incorporate any creative forms. Works proposed by the exhibition projects may include those already in the Collection of FRAC Lorraine: http://collection.fraclorraine.org. At least two artists must be included in the proposal. The exhibition may be accompanied or constituted by a program of activities in order to open a new space of reflection regarding the treated topic. The winning project will have a maximum budget of 25,000 for each venue. The exhibition will open in September 2013: either first at MARCO (Vigo, Spain), followed by FRAC Lorraine (Metz, France), or in both locations simultaneously. All curators born in 1972 and later are eligible to enter the competition. If the entry is a group project, one person will be chosen from that group to represent it and act as a mediator. Curators will not be allowed to participate as artists in the projects. No more than one project per entrant will be accepted. Entries must be previously unpublished and must provide for the participation of two or more artists. The curator of the winning project will receive the sum of 5,000 , tax included, as an honorarium. The Fundación MARCO and FRAC Lorraine will reimburse the curators travel expenses, upon presentation of appropriate supporting documents, up to 2,000 , including taxes. Accommodations in Vigo and in Metz will be covered directly by the respective institutions.
