Rules Of The Open Call
CALL FOR ARTISTS PROJECTS
AVAM (Associated Visual Artists of Madrid), sponsored by the Madrid Regional Government, invites entries for a competition to select four artistic projects for inclusion in Madrid Procesos 12. This Open Call forms part of the Madrid Procesos programme, an initiative promoted by AVAM and supported by the Madrid Regional Government, the Spanish Embassy in Berlin and the State Secretariat for Culture of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport in order to improve the conditions experienced by plastic and visual artists as they produce and create their work.
The objectives of Madrid Procesos 12 are:
- To offer support for the funding of the artistic projects which form the purpose of this assistance.
- To further experimentation in the production process.
- To analyse and draw attention to different models of contemporary artistic production, highlighting the factors which determine its development.
- To respect the rights of the profession and those of the creator.
- To encourage Madrid's artists to create and disseminate their work, thereby promoting international cooperation. To this end, the Madrid Procesos 12 Open Call has been initiated with the following lines of action:
- A programme of support for the funding of artistic projects.
- A residence and mobility programme: residence aid for artistic production and its international dissemination. This is in tandem with the Karl Hofer Society of the Freundeskreis der Universität der Künste Udk (Circle of Friends of the Fine Arts University) in Berlin.
- A dissemination programme: drawing attention to research, use of resources and implementation of the projects selected for Madrid Procesos, through their dissemination in the media and the publishing of a digital catalogue.
