ANTI Festival, Kuopio, Finland, Sep 25-28 (deadline: Feb 18)


CALL FOR PROPOSALS: ANTI Festival September 25th - 28th 2008, Kuopio,
Finland - an international contemporary arts festival presenting
site-specific works made for public space.

Over the past six years ANTI has presented live, sonic, visual and
text-based art from today’s most exciting and innovative artists. A truly
international festival and Finland’s foremost presenter of Live Art, ANTI
is a meeting place for artists and audiences fascinated by how art shapes
and responds to the places and spaces of everyday life.

Artists and students from all disciplines are encouraged to submit
proposals to this year’s festival.

The proposal process
ANTI Festival pre-selects a number of sites/contexts/environments that we
ask artists to respond to by proposal. Details of the 2008 sites can be
found on the festival website: www.antifestival.com

The closing date for proposals is February 18th 2008.

Sites in 2008 include a bridge, a sports stadium, a public stage and three
private homes. For the additional children’s programme artists can propose
a site suitable for their project.

As the works take place in public space it is essential the proposals
consider a site’s pre-existing audience’; be they passers-by, customers or
residents. Alongside those who purposely visit the festival, a substantial
part of ANTI’s audience are members of the public who come across the
works by chance.

ANTI’s emphasis is on site-specificity. The festival understands this term
in an expanded sense; proposals may suggest works that deal with a site
geographically, culturally or by association i.e. themes and activities
that the site suggests but may not be physically present in the site
itself. Proposals may also combine or link a number of sites.

Proposal form: http://www.antifestival.com

All proposals must be sent using the electronic form on the festival
website, the form is sent directly to the festival through the website.
The form allows a link to be made to any online documentation artist’s may
have of previous work and for artists to attach their CV and one image of
their work. In addition ONE piece of supporting material (i.e. VHS, DVD,
CD-ROM) can be submitted as hardcopy.

The proposal deadline is February 18th 2008. Please send your supporting
material, clearly marked with your name and project title, to: ANTI –
Contemporary Art Festival, Koljonniemenkatu 2, 2nd Floor, 70100 Kuopio,
Finland. All materials must reach the above address by February 18th 2008.
