AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Binaural and Alg-a: Fronte[i]ras 07 - Open call for artistic project

Fronte[i]ras 07 - International Meeting of Transdisciplinary Arts

Dates: 17 September to 31 December 2007
Organization: Binaural / Associação Cultural de Nodar (Portugal) and Alg-a
(Galicia, Spain)
Format: Artistic Residency + Symposium + Itinerant Exhibition

Open call for artistic projects : from May, 11 to June, 22 2007

The central theme for the open call will be the concept of border
(fronteira) in all its possible variants, a reflection on its multiple
interpretations with a focus not only on the physical / geographical borders
but also on their dissolution into ideological, cultural, virtual, or
ability borders.

This event will comprise a program of artistic residencies in Galicia and
Portugal. Two simultaneous residencies will take place, one in Nodar (a
small rural village in Portugal) and another on the outskirts of Pontevedra
(Galicia, Spain).

Several artists from different origins and backgrounds will gather during 10
days on each residency space for the development of artistic projects in
close connection with social thinkers who will hold a critique observatory
during the same period.

The artists can freely choose their artistic languages and tools (audio,
video, performance, installation, intermedia, etc.).

As a result of the work produced during the residencies, a final
presentation of the developed projects will take place in the form of an
itinerant exhibition, starting in Pontevedra and ending in Portugal. A
parallel round of conferences and audiovisual artistic talks related to the
proposed theme will also take place.

Alg-a will award 5 Fronte[i]ras 07 grants for artistic projects to be
developed during a residency in Pondevedra (Galicia).
Binaural will award 5 Fronte[i]ras 07 grants for artistic projects to be
developed during a residency in Nodar (Portugal).

At least 4 of the 10 grants will be awarded to artists born or living in
Galicia (2) and Portugal (2).

The amount of each grant will be 300 Euros (less the corresponding
withholding tax). The organization of Encontro Fronte[i]ras 07 will bear
housing and food costs during the residency and final presentations. The
selected artists will bear their traveling costs from / to the place of
origin to / from the residency.
