INSTITUTIONAL COOPERATION PROGRAM
National Direction of the Antarctic
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Cult
Arts Residency in the Argentine Antarctic Stations
The Institutional Cooperation Program is open to contemplate
projects related to culture in all its disciplines.
This Program is carried out between the National Direction
of the Antarctic (DNA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
International Trade and Cult, and government and/or private
Organizations related to art and culture. The non-Argentine
institutions propose one or two artists to develop artistic
projects during a specific residence in the Argentine
Antarctic Stations.
The non-Argentine institution shall propose and sponsor the
artists to develop projects related to the subject matters
that the National Direction of the Antarctic requires for
this Agreement.
The subject matters that the artistic projects will have to
deal with shall be related to environment preservation and
man interaction in that territory. The work of art shall
display a prominent respect for environment, creativity and
innovation. Science and technology as an artistic support
are considered as highly valuable at the moment of selecting
the projects submitted. The artists who will reside in the
Antarctica will participate in future itinerant exhibitions
of “South Pole, Art in the Antarctica”, integrating their
work to the different projects at exhibition.
The stay in Antarctica is estimated to be between 30 to 40 days.
The National Direction of the Antarctic provides with:
1- Transfers Buenos Aires/ Antarctic/ Buenos Aires.
2- Accommodation and meals in the Antarctic stations
3- Logistic and coordination of the cultural project
4- Inclusion of the artists into the Antarctic Art program
The project proposed by the foreign organization shall include:
o Letter of intention from the institution or organization
supporting the presentation of the artist(s).
o An artistic proposal related to the Antarctic subject
matter. The work can be performed in the Antarctica or later
in the artist’s country of origin. It is open to all
aesthetic proposals
o A cooperation proposal that the institution may consider
pertinent
o A résumé of the artist, 10 photographs of previous work of
art and a fundament of his/her work.
Material and consultation to be sent to:
[email protected]
[email protected]
The selection of projects will be performed by a committee
of specialists of the National Direction of the Antarctic.
Proposals are received until October 15.
We would like to inform all artists and institutions that
are willing to apply to the Institutional Cooperation
Agreement that the characteristics of the Antarctic
continent are very particular and special, as the weather is
inhospitable; living conditions and isolation, both human
and technological, may generate special situations of
uncertainty and anxiety in individuals. Therefore, it is
mandatory that the prospective temporary residents at the
Argentine Antarctic Stations have intimate convictions to
carry out experiences in the Antarctica being totally aware
of and accepting life as it is in that continent. The
artists shall timely submit a physical and psychological
fitness certificate and a certificate of commitment with
environment protection.
Documents of the artist(s) applying for residence in the
Antarctica.
