CALL FOR ENTRIES: METAMATIC RESEARCH INITIATIVE

Filed under: CALLS FOR ENTRIES | Back to: Homepage

DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2010, 6PM

As part of our efforts to stimulate artistic research, we are inviting proposals for six commissioned works of art. We invite artists from all disciplines to submit proposals. The works of art should question and explore the relationship between the maker, the viewer and the status of the art object. The starting point for this research is the artistic legacy of Jean Tinguely’s Métamatics, a series of sculptural machines capable of producing works of art.

An international jury of experts will make a selection from the proposals after the deadline on 1 September 2010. The six successful applicants will receive a commission to execute their proposals. (more…)
