[oberlist] Call for artworks - SURVIVAL 12: 'City - Inflammatory State', Wroclaw (PL), 27.6-1.7.2014

[Paulina Maloy]

Dear friends,


Please share the call for artworks with interested artists.


We would like to invite all visual artists to submit artworks that take
into consideration the uniqueness of the venue and refer to the motto
of *SURVIVAL
12: ‘City – Inflammatory State.’*

The subject matter of SURVIVAL 12 will focus on issues referring to bodily
functions and states (infection, virus, medicine, anatomy, convalescence,
the body and ethics, illness, death) as well as to architecture and urban
planning (entropy, ruins, revitalization, conservation).

*The main thread of this edition ,’City – Inflammatory State’, will inspire
artists and curators of the Review to examine illness and healing in the
context of the city, perceived as a living organism, and the human body.*


In order to take part in the competition, please complete the application
form (attached) and send it to survival.miasto at gmail.com.

Your application should also contain a visualization of your artwork.


*The deadline for sending submissions ends on 31 March 2014.*

 *More info:*

The phrase ‘inflammatory state’ has both negative and positive
connotations. It signals that something alarming is going on in the body,
it is a symptom of an illness. Contemporary cities and their inhabitants
are plagued by many maladies that act pathogenically on the
agglomerations.  In the urban context, an inflammatory state suggests a
number of ‘maladies’ and ‘epidemics’ that contemporary cities must face,
from formal requirements connected with architecture and urban planning  to
problems impacting negatively on the community and individuals (crime,
vandalism, xenophobia, alcoholism, etc.). On the other hand, an
inflammatory state means that the body is fighting the disease, the cells
are attacking the pathogen, trying to eliminate it and heal the damage.


Thus the motto of the 12th edition of SURVIVAL encapsulates the aim of
this year’s
SURVIVAL, which is an attempt to summarise a years-long discussion in
Poland and Europe about the state of contemporary cities and the preferred
ways of their development.


Kind regards,

Paulina Maloy
