PDF: http://lanocheenblanco.esmadrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Convocatoria-5Plazas-Ingl%C3%A9s.pdf The purpose of this announcement is to offer a chance to participate in the curatorial program of La noche en blanco 2010. The curators of this fifth edition, the Basurama collective, are inviting all interested parties to present projects for the upcoming edition, which will take place on Saturday, September 11, 2010. This open call for proposals aims to complement the core concepts of La noche en blanco 2010, all of which have to do with the idea of the game and play understood not as competition but as a collective recreational activity. Playing requires us to reinvent the way we relate to our physical and social environment, generating new opportunities for experimentation in the city. The theme of this fifth edition, Game On!, is an open invitation to all citizens, a concept that emphasizes participation and proposes a new way of interacting with the city of Madrid. This concept is considered broad enough to permit a wide variety of proposals and interpretations. One of the strategic lines for this year’s La noche en blanco is to work with what exists already. In that sense, creators and ideas will take priority against big productions. Another objective of this call is to lower barriers in the curated program for external proposals. The proposed project must be an idea for a free, public action to be constructed or launched during the course of La noche en blanco on September 11, 2010, from 21 to 7 h. Every discipline of contemporary artistic creation is welcome – visual arts, music, architecture, performing arts, design, etc. – with a special emphasis on selecting a diverse array of proposals. The proposals will take place in the following squares of Madrid: Plaza 2 de Mayo Plaza Tirso de Molina Plaza de Soledad Torres Acosta (Plaza Luna) Plaza Lavapiés Plaza de las Comendadoras Detailed information about these spaces is available on the web page of La noche en blanco (www.lanocheenblanco.com). The projects presented may propose the use of one or more of the abovementioned squares. However, the project may have to be moved to a square other than the one requested in order to accommodate all of the selected proposals, though such decisions will be discussed with the author(s) beforehand. In any case, the organizers of La noche en blanco will always have the final say in such matters. The deadline for submitting proposals is July 6 at 24.00 h. Proposals should be sent to the following email address: convocatorias_ l...@mataderomadrid.com. -- Olga P Massanet -------------------------- www.ungravitational.net virtualfirefly.wordpress.com www.vimeo.com/ungravitational
