Dear fellow Spectres,
we are pleased to announce our project "Arctic Perspective – Third
Culture 2008-2010" which HMKV is organising with its partners Projekt
Atol (Slovenia), The Arts Catalyst (GB), LORNA (Iceland) and CTASC
(Canada). This project has been funded with support from the European
Commission - Culture Programme. The project directs attention to the
global cultural and ecological significance of the polar regions.
These are zones of contemporary geopolitical conflict and at the same
time potential spaces for transnational and intercultural cooperation
and collaboration. The jointly obtained results will be presented in
the PHOENIX Halle Dortmund in the framework of European Capital of
Culture Ruhr.2010 as well as the international media-art conference
ISEA 2010 RUHR.

and Work Unit" to be sited in the Arctic region (deadline 1 July
