Bando
di partecipazione della Terra Nova Art Foundation - Bando Newfoundland and
Labrador in Venice
The
Terra Nova Art Foundation is beginning preparations for participation in the
56th International Art Exhibition, the Venice Biennale, in 2015. This is an
important project that helps to build Newfoundland and Labrador’s profile and
reputation as an international centre for the visual arts. For the artist/s
selected Venice provides a significant opportunity for the development and
presentation of new work.
The
Foundation is now seeking proposals from established individual artists and/or
artist collectives to deliver an ambitious and innovative project that will run
during the Biennale in 2015, at the Galleria Ca’Rezzonico. Applicants do not
need to be based in the province, but have to demonstrate a strong connection
to the Newfoundland and Labrador arts community and the infrastructure that
supports it.
In
preparing for Venice 2015, TNAF is keen to build on the experiences of previous
projects while exploring fresh perspectives and new approaches. The selected
artist(s) will be responsible for:
· working collaboratively with the
appointed TNAF project team and curator to realise the physical exhibition
· collaborating closely with the project
team and curator at TNAF to produce or source all exhibition content, written
material for exhibition panels, and any other exhibition texts
· working within the agreed exhibition
budget
The
Foundation expects the selected project to deliver:
· A significant opportunity for the
selected artist/s to produce ambitious and original work, taking into account
the particular challenges and opportunities of Venice and the wider context of
the Biennale
· High impact and visibility within an
extremely busy and ever expanding Biennale and a good level of attendances that
build on Venice presentations
· Strong critical and professional
responses from within Newfoundland, the rest of Canada and internationally
· High public and media profile,
particularly within Canada but also internationally
· Audience development opportunities
within Newfoundland that take a number of forms during the period of the Biennale and beyond, including
educational lectures, professional development workshops, and the possibility
of the exhibition touring to additional venues after the presentation in Venice
There
is a projected budget of approximately $160,000 for this project overall. The
budget will cover all of the project costs including fees to the artist/s and
curatorial partners (where applicable), venue and production costs, Biennale
registration, and external press/ PR support. All proposals need to demonstrate
they are achievable within these resources.
As
the project is dependent upon sufficient funds being raised, the artist(s)
should be aware that the project will be cancelled if this does not occur.
Artists should also note that they will be asked to submit works for
fundraising initiatives, which may take place through a St. John’s commercial
gallery.
All
proposals will be reviewed by the Selections Committee, and may result in
combinations of artists that are not proposed originally.
We
appreciate that proposals may be speculative in their nature, or are at an
early stage. The same will be true of any new artist
partnerships/collaborations. We would therefore be grateful if you could let us
know how developed your project idea is when you make your submission.
