Award for Young Curators
AWARD FOR YOUNG CURATORS 2014 MARCO/FRAC LORRAINE/SFKM
Deadline: March 14, 2014
MARCO, Museo de Arte Contemporánea de Vigo, 49 Nord 6 Est – FRAC Lorraine, Metz (Fonds régional d’art contemporain de Lorraine), and Sogn og Fjordane Kunstmuseum (SFKM), Førde organize the Award for Young Curators MARCO/Frac Lorraine/SFKM.
This award gives participants the opportunity to submit a topic of research and reflection which is of personal interest, and the possibility to bring it to fruition in the project venues at MARCO (first-floor gallery), at FRAC Lorraine, and at SFKM (mainly the ground- and first-floor galleries).
The originality of the proposed thesis of research, the pertinence of the suggested references, and the multidisciplinarity will be key in the selection of the award winner.
The winning proposition will result either in a single project presented first at FRAC Lorraine (Metz, France), then at MARCO (Vigo, Spain), and at SFKM (Førde, Norway), or as a triple project mounted simultaneously at the three locations. It is not mandatory that this project results in an exhibition. The requisite theme of research is at the heart of the work. The final version of the winning project, as well as the list of selected works and/or participants, will be developed and finalized in close collaboration with the directors of MARCO and of FRAC Lorraine and the curator of SFKM in the course of three working residencies. The goal is to have the project take into account the architectural specificities of each location, local contexts, and usages of each venue.
The proposal must be within the field of contemporary thought and may incorporate any creative forms. The project may be accompanied or constituted by a program of activities in order to open a new space of reflection regarding the treated topic. In case the project—or part of it—results in an exhibition, it may include works already in the Collection of FRAC Lorraine (http://collection.fraclorraine.org) and the Collections of SFKM (to be discovered during the residency in Førde).
The winning project will have a maximum budget of 20,000 € for each venue. It will open in 2015.
