SCAPE Biennial Seeks Curators for 2006
Art & Industry is seeking your Expression of
Interest (EOI) to be considered as one of two key
curators for its fourth urban arts biennial in
Christchurch New Zealand, the SCAPE Biennial 06
(SB06).
The SCAPE Art & Industry Urban Arts Biennials
provide a forum for artists to collaborate with
industry, develop new, challenging and innovative
visual artworks of the highest calibre, and
create experiences that will challenge and enrich
the lives of the people of Christchurch and its
visitors. The SCAPE biennials offer artists and
curators who are outstanding in their field a
pivotal career opportunity to extend their
practice and create exceptional new visual
artworks.
This exciting and rare opportunity, supported
through funding from Creative New Zealand Arts
Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa, is for one
New Zealand and one international curator. Once
formed, this dynamic curatorial partnership will
be responsible for reflecting Art & Industry’s
philosophical goal of pairing art with industry –
acknowledging and articulating this unique
relationship while delivering a distinctive and
impressive national/international outcome for
SB06.
The curators will be responsible for building on
the existing profile of the event locally,
nationally and internationally through the
development of an outstanding display of urban
visual artworks concentrated over Christchurch’s
Cultural Precinct for 6 weeks – running from mid
September 2006.
Expressions are welcome from curator teams,
consisting of one national and one international
curator, but this is not a prerequisite as Art &
Industry is happy to broker relationships between
interested curators.
For details on this exciting curatorial
opportunity and to receive an application pack
please contact the Director of the Art & Industry
