As part of RISK CHANGE, the EU project dedicated to migrations:
MMSU announces an open call for artworks for We're Not Like Them exhibition
The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Rijeka
(https://mmsu.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f698acfe3363eaf9e5b57d84&id=3f5ee465d9&e=2b14586770)
, Croatia (MMSU) has announced an open call for artworks
(https://mmsu.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f698acfe3363eaf9e5b57d84&id=c44d010fa7&e=2b14586770)
for We’re Not Like Them exhibition, which will take place from 26 September to
10 November 2019 at MMSU, as the fourth episode of the EU project RISK CHANGE
(https://mmsu.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f698acfe3363eaf9e5b57d84&id=8d1eb56d25&e=2b14586770)
. The call is open to all individual artists and art collectives from Croatia,
EU, and third countries (countries that do not participate in the Creative
Europe program). The artworks will be selected by a five-member jury: the MMSU
curators Katerina Jovanović, Ksenija Orelj, Sabina Salamon and Marina Tkalčić
and Vana Gović from the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral.
The deadline for the submission of artworks is 14 July 2019.
In the fourth and final episode of RISK CHANGE, the MMSU deals with prejudices
people use to form the picture about others and explores the historical and
modern stereotypes about foreign spaces. The basic question examined by the
open call and the upcoming exhibition is how the migration crisis affects our
concept of newcomers. Contrary to modern proclamations about cultural
diversity, in the times of turbulent social changes, people’s perception of the
Other often takes on a negative charge. This manifests as exclusion, repulsion,
negation, and creation of a fictitious image of the main culprit, while the
political issue of the Other is treated, constantly and with the help of mass
media, within the frames of seeing the foreigner as a menacing usurper.
The artworks, old and new, are encouraged to seek inspiration not just in
modern interpretations of the Other, but also in reflections about foreign,
some of which are epitomized in Croatian phrases such as “ne pravi se Englez”
[“Stop playing an Englishman” – don’t play stupid] or “dužan ko’ Grčka” [“as
indebted as Greece” – to be head over ears in debt] or “nije beg cicija!” [the
bey is not a cheapskate!], which exist in this language as part of oral
tradition and folklore. One of the desired approaches to this call is to use
humor in treating the topics.
The call is open to all kinds of artworks based on documentary records,
testimonies, jokes, puns and paraphrases about the Other, which shed some light
on the emotional background and perhaps even reveal the thing that lies beneath
the surface, firing up old stereotypes and prompting the formation of new ones.
In between simplified renderings of ‘us’ and ‘them’, ‘advanced’ and ‘backward’,
‘amiable’ and ‘cold’, ‘honest’ and ‘dishonest’, ‘hardworking’ and ‘flawed’,
this exhibition will try to make fun of our own desire to be bigger, louder,
more successful and more beautiful than we really are.
We’re Not Like Them is part of the Kitchen, a program line carried out in the
scope of Rijeka 2020 – the European Capital of Culture. The entire program is
supported by the EU’s Creative Europe, the Croatian Ministry of Culture and the
City of Rijeka.
