The advisory committee at Madrid Abierto, chaired
by the director of the programme, Jorge Díez, and
formed by Cecilia Andersson, Guillaume Dèsanges, Ramon Parramon,
Mª Inés Rodríguez, Fito Rodríguez and the
Democracia Group, will name the curator or
curators of this edition. La Casa de América and
the Círculo de Bellas Artes will select a
representative for the selection of the
intervention corresponding to each institution.
The curator will choose the participating artists
by assessing the quality and feasibility of the
proposal, as well as the complete reversibility
of the interventions, and will complete the
choice with other artists invited until reaching
a maximum of 50% of the total number of artists
chosen in the open summons. As we are dealing
with projects that will be presented in public
spaces, the local permits required must be
obtained in order to carry out effective
installation. The process will be managed by Madrid Abierto.
Should the artists selected use - in any way -
images or elements belonging to third parties in
their project, they must provide the
corresponding permits issued by the owners.
Madrid Abierto reserves the rights to publish and
represent the artistic interventions selected in
all those cases related with the programme
promotion, and will include all the documents
generated into its documentary fund and public
archive. The projects and works selected will
belong to the authors, and the developing
institutions will have the right to acquire them.
Participation in this summons means full
acceptance of the rules established in this document.
