CC</I> is a Creative Commons license game - it can be replayed in any chosen
configuration, in any place and at any time. According to the instructions made
available in the exhibition space, the spectators themselves are capable of
recreating the works, that is game variants, conceived by the artists. The
participation of the spectators in the exhibition consists both in making and
using the work.<BR><BR><B>Rules</B><BR><BR>1...... The artist is supposed to
send the instructions on how to complete his work.<BR><BR>2...... The
instructions, as a drawing or a handwritten text, should be sent in A5 format to
<B>uqbar</B> address.<BR><BR>3...... The work should be feasible to make and
with easily accessible materials at no or minimal financial cost for the present
persons.<BR><BR>4...... The work has to be a kind of game, which means it is to
possess ‘playability’ potential. It can be aimed both at one person and at a
number of people.<BR><BR>5...... The game can be realized multiple times and
used, depending on its character, inside the exhibition space on special playing
tables or outside in any public domain.<BR><BR>6...... All the works are
realized under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncomercial 2.5 licence, due to
which the whole exhibition as well as its particular elements can be recreated
for non-profit purposes in any time and at any place with no consent of the
artists and curators required.<BR><BR>7...... English, Polish or German are the
languages of the instructions, as long as this does not interfere with the
inherent nature of the work.<BR><BR><B>Please find enclosed the PDF version of
the invitation to complete. The original completed card in A5 format should be
sent to the address of uqbar until April 15th, 2008. You can also send an A5,
300dpi file of the game by e-mail.</B><BR> <BR><I>Manual CC</I> has begun
as a project by a group of 12 curators realized within the framework of the
Curatorial Studies at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland in
conjunction with Kronika in Bytom. In September 2007 the project has been
presented at Kronika accompanied by a book including over 80 artworks by Polish
and international artists (list of artists attached). A new edition in the form
of an exhibition will take place at Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski
Castle, Warsaw, April 25 - May 18, 2008.<BR><BR>At <B>uqbar</B> projectspace
