OPEN CALL 2014

SHADOW CASTERS OPEN CALL FOR THE NEW EDITION OF WALL DISPLAYS

ZA HRVATSKU VERZIJU PRITISNITE OVDJE!

Deadline: March 20, 2014
Contact: bacaci.sjenki at gmail.com

About the project Wall Displays (WD) ZAGREB PARAFERNALIE:
The Wall Displays project began in 2006 as a window/ communication  
channel of the invisible parts  (field and archive research, thematic  
workshops and labs, comunity projects, etc.) of the long-term research  
project “Re-collecting Cities/Re-collecting Time”. The original  
locations of WD editions were seven wall displays of the ex-cinema  
venue of Croatian Cinematheque located in different places in downtown  
Zagreb. From 2010, Wall Displays have grown into a separate and  
autonomous project ZAGREB PARAFERNALIE.
Wall Displays are a visible part of our research and reflection on the  
city, public and private space, urbanity, co-existence and identity.

TARGETED AUDIENCE OF THE PROJECT:
- Random passers-by but also the intentional readers
- Happy visitors of our weblog – http://zidnenovine.blogspot.com
- Professional community: urban anthropologists, art historians,  
sociologists, urban narrators, architects and urban planners
- Archivists of intangible (urban) heritage and spatial/social and  
architectural heritage

THE NUMBER OF WALL DISPLAYS/LOCATIONS:
Wall Displays boxes are positioned in 8 different location in the  
public space in the city of Zagreb.

THEMATIC FRAMEWORK
This project is thematically focused on:  the everyday life events,  
micro and macro memory narratives linked to the area around the Wall  
Display boxes, and/or WD are metaphoricaly precieved as "windows" into  
other spaces, cities and worlds. We are interested in  
interdisciplinary and/or artistic perspectives and perceptions on the  
following themes: transformation of the city, the questioning of the  
politics of remembrance, political acts and media presence in the  
public space.

PROJECT METHODOLOGY
Wall Displays are based on the approach to the listed thematic  
guidelines and they also develop hyper textual models of reading the  
city, alternative cartography, construction of the place of  
remembrance and tactics of constructing the collective.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
Integral and creative author concept of the whole Edition of Wall  
Displays in which each of the eight locations (displays) content is  
treated separately within the proposed Edition.


TO WHOM THIS CALL IS ADDRESSED:
This open call is open to everybody, but also to visual and new media  
artists same as to researchers in Humanities (Ethnology, Sociology,  
Philosophy, Politology) and to interdisciplinary teams (Wall Display  
communicate equally through text and image). If the accepted  
proposition is based on the humanistic approach to the research of the  
city and candidate does not have background in design, the organizers  
will enable a collaboration with a designer.
This open call is also open to performance artist and the projects  
that rethink Wall Displays locations as a space for perfomative  
actions in the public sphere. In this case – Wall Displays edition

enabled by the organizers.
