TW1 Call for proposals for site-specific art project, Stavanger, Norway,
2008 (deadline: 5 Nov)



TW1 - east side of Stavanger, a rapidly changing area of the city.
Creative people from all artistic fields are invited to propose work
inspired by sites on this route. Selected artists invited to workshop and
presentation event.

The east side of Stavanger, Norway is expanding rapidly, incorporating
culture, business and residents. The city’s habits and patterns are
changing at a speedy rate but what kind of changes does this imply?
Looking at the route that starts at Nytorget, Pedersgata ending up at Tou
Scene, this project invites artists, citizens, city planners and local
businesses to comment the route, a 15-minute walk. We hope these comments
will highlight the route as an extraordinary experience/walk in itself and
question and explore this specific environment.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Creative people from all artistic fields are invited to propose work
inspired by sites on this route. The selected artists will be offered a 10
days research period developing work in Stavanger followed by a 5-day
showing/event and 2 days of aftermath. The artists will be sharing their
process and working methods during the workshops and participate in work
tasks, lectures and a seminar as a shared process. Each artist selects a
site that will be negotiated with the curators and the local residents.
Private homes, shop windows, the public restrooms of the old square, a
street corner and a bush can all become hosts for artistic triggers and
the work be everything from alternative road signs, ephemeral
shops/temporary cafés, people as places/sites, walk in cinema etc. Work
