Guandu Nature Park
2008 Guandu International Outdoor Sculpture Festival

Focus on Global Warming

Artists from all countries are invited to send proposals for temporary
site-specific sculpture installations that raise awareness about global
warming.
Works should be suitable for a nature park with an emphasis on wetlands
conservation and bird watching.

Artists must use natural materials that are good for the environment. They
can use materials found in the park with the approval of the staff, or
they can buy any other materials needed from the artist’s fee.

Artists should propose works that can last for the full six months of the
exhibition, and that can survive typhoons and heavy rains as well as hot
and dry summer weather.

The exhibition opens on Earth Day, and public activities with the artists
will be part of the opening weekend activities.

Artists selected will create their artworks during a 12-day residency in
Taiwan, April 6-21, 2008. The selected artists will receive a fee of
US$1200 (NT$40,000), round trip economy airfare, accommodations, some
meals and volunteer help to create their works.

Entries must be sent by e mail and include the following:
· Resume or cv with the mailing address and contact information for the
artist including website and e mail address
· 6 images of previous outdoor works that relate to nature and the
environment (small jpg files up to 1 MG each)
· Image list giving the title, date made, dimensions, media or materials
used, place of the installation and brief description for each work
· Written description of the proposed work for Guandu Nature Park
including how it relates to global warming and the natural materials that
will be used (limit description to one page)
· Sketch or rendering of the proposed work (scanned or digital image up to
1MG).

All entries will be reviewed and finalists notified by February 1, 2008.

Jane Ingram Allen, American artist, independent curator and art critic
working in Taiwan since 2004, is the curator for the Guandu Sculpture
Festival.
