Organized by the MARCO, Museo de Arte Contemporánea de Vigo, Spain and FRAC Lorraine, Metz (Fonds regional d'art
contemporain de Lorraine), France, the purpose of the MARCO/FRAC Lorraine Award for Young Curators is to offer
participants the chance to execute an exhibition project to occupy MARCO's first floor and the exhibition venues at
FRAC Lorraine. Entries will focus on the field of contemporary artistic creation and contemplate the participation of
two or more artists.<br />
<br />
The exhibition project will have a budget of a maximum sum of 30,000 Euro for each venue. The exhibition will take
place from May to September, 2010 at MARCO Vigo, and from October, 2010 and January 2011 at FRAC Lorraine. Proposals
that include works from the Collection FRAC Lorraine shall be taken into account. To visit the Collection: <a
href="http://collection.fraclorraine.org" >http://collection.fraclorraine.org</a><br />
<br />
All curators born in and after 1970 are eligible to enter the competition. If an entry is a group creation, one person
will be chosen from that group to represent it and act as mediator with the institution. Curators will not be allowed
to participate as artists. Entries must be previously unpublished and must contemplate the participation of two or more
artists. No more than one project per entrant will be accepted.<br />
<br />
The curator of the winning project will sign a contract with the Fundación MARCO and FRAC Lorraine, agreeing to comply
with the functions derived from curating an exhibition, the characteristics of which will be specified in the contract.
These will include the selection and location of the works, the design and supervision of the installation, and the
writing of at least one text for the catalogue. The curator will receive the sum of 7,000 Euro, tax included, as an
honorarium. <br />
<br />
A jury made up of professionals of the art world will select the winning project and two finalists in November. The
jury's decision is final. The jury may declare the award void should they consider this necessary. The criteria for
evaluating the entries will be based on quality and suitability to the characteristics of the first floor of the MARCO
as an exhibition space and exhibition spaces at FRAC Lorraine.<br />
<br />
The jury will be composed by:<br />
Beatrice Josse, FRAC Lorraine Director<br />
Iñaki Martínez Antelo, MARCO Director<br />
Kevin Muhlen, Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain Director <br />
Agar Ledo Arias, MARCO Head of the Exhibitions Dept.<br />
Pedro de Llano, Art Critic and curator<br />
<br />
The jury's decision will be made public in November 2009 and all participants will be notified.<br />
<br />
Entries must be exclusively and simultaneously submitted, PDF format to the following e-mail addresses <a
href="mailto:info@marcovigo.com" >info@marcovigo.com</a> and <a href="mailto:fraclorraine.coordination@wanadoo.fr"
