VOX POPULI 2009

The Center for Contemporary Art Prague announces the call for projects for
the Artwall Gallery.


History of the Artwall Gallery

Since 2005, the Artwall Gallery has occupied an outstanding outdoor space
consisting of eight large stone frames within the wall supporting the
Letna Hill on the kpt. Jarose and Edvarda Benese Embankment in the
downtown area of Prague. In May 2008, the Prague Municipality decided to
terminate the leasing contract on the pretext of the “Collective
Identity” exhibition by a Czech art group Guma Guar (see
www.artwall.cz), thus practically liquidating the Artwall Gallery.
Currently, the Center for Contemporary Art aims at renewing the contract
and the exhibition program. If we succeed, we are planning to exhibit four
projects between spring and fall 2009.


Theme

This year's theme, Vox Populi, is a continuation of the last year's
program and was inspired by visually dominant character of the exhibition
space that guarantees an efficient and rather authoritative communication
with the public. The project aims at critical analysis of the notion of
The voice of the People that has served democratic as well as demagogic
purposes. At the same time it is exploring the authority of the artist
confronted with the public space. Judged by the heated debate engendered
by the “Collective Identity” exhibition we assume that the theme in
combination with the commanding space is able to capture attention of a
wide audience and amplify the role of contemporary art within our society.


Technical parameters of the project

The proposed projects should be in the form of seven vertical images (the
eighth frame will contain the title of the exhibition) providing a
sufficient information about the visual appearance of the project. The
selected projects will be printed out as large scale digital prints on
foil (each approx. 400 x 210 cm). We can send you the exact size of the
individual frames, on request.

Please, send the proposal together with a concise written description of
its concept to zuzana.stefkova la fcca.cz as jpg or pdf. The deadline is on
the 28th of February 2009.

We are looking forward to your proposals.
