Platform announces an open call for an artist residency in Vaasa, Finland. 2-3 international and 2-3 Baltic or Nordic artists will be accepted for the period starting February 2011 till the end of February
2012. Deadline for submissions 31st August 2010.
 
In recognition of a milestone year (2000-2010) of creating an open cultural platform for artist residencies, international networks, cultural interventions and contemporary art events, Platform responds to past experiences by initiating a theme "TO HAVE / TO OWN" for future activity orientation.

In order to react on the present cultural situation, in which it is recognized that art as well as other cultural areas during the last years has gone through significant social, cultural, economic and ecological change, Platform calls for a reaction to conceptions of having and owning. The presumption is that paying close attention to interests that culture and individuals have when referring to having and owning will raise dialogues on issues such as: cultural heritage, aesthetic and ethic values, immaterial/material resources, networking,
nomadic movements, communication, alienation, independence, sustainability, education etc.

Platform encourages art projects that take a self-directed orientation to the theme. The focal point for the initiative is to generate conditions for artists to engage in local and international contemporary art based interventions that perform interpretation zones in which past,
present and future human conditions are examined.

THE PROGRAM
Annually 5-6 artists are invited, normally about 2 months, to realize a project. The residency offers accommodation, a studio, covered travel expenses, a monthly grant as well as a production budget.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
An application consisting of a motivation letter/project proposal, documentation of 5 projects and a cv, all included in one document, to be sent electronically to info@platform.fi during August, but no later than 31.08.2010.

For closer details on the application procedure and the program, please consult our web-page: www.platform.fi/residency
