Open Call Fotogalleriet Oslo

Aus der Ausschreibung:
Fotogalleriet is pleased to announce a call for artistic submissions to partake in the exhibition venue’s 2019/20 programming.

Local and international artists working within the expanded field of photography and light-induced processes are welcomed to submit material pertaining to their practices, together with a draft proposal for a project to be further developed within the spaces of the institution. Fotogalleriet accepts applications of artworks that have been independently produced in need of a first space for critical exhibition; projects that are still in the making; and exciting proposals to be newly produced.
Fotogalleriet will provide technical and curatorial guidance for the completion of the selected project, as well as the possibility to develop an ad-hoc learning and discursive programme strongly connected to the project’s concepts.
Fotogalleriet, an institution located in central Oslo, is dedicated to the exhibition and investigation of photography as a critical art practice related to shaping light and environments in cultural-political and conceptual forms. Since its inception, it has challenged the very concept of photography by presenting a diverse variety of well-established and upcoming positions within and around the photographic field, through the work of artists such as Diane Arbus, Lene Berg, Bill Brandt, Ida Ekblad, Ane Hjort Guttu, Matias Faldbakken, Marianne Heier, Christian Jankowski, Amar Kanwar, Kåre Kivijärvi, Lars Lauman, Eline Mugaas, Helmut Newton, Clemens von Wedemeyer, and Christopher Williams, among others.

We welcome emerging and established artists to share challenging projects to be realised, substantiated by a sense of urgency for finalisation as well as ideas for completion and feasibility.

Deadline Sunday, 19 August

Eligibility
All practising artists are eligible to apply, either as individual artists or collectives who have or do not have a collaborative working practice.

Budget
A minimum budget will be allocated to this project from Fotogalleriet. We do not require the submission of a budget proposal, though as additional funding might be required according to the parameters of the project we welcome proposals and ideas on funding opportunities for the full realisation of large-scale projects and new commissions.
