Call for project proposals: The Future of 'Public' in Public Transport

 

The organisers, the Neue Gesellschaft fuer Bildende Kunst (NGBK) in Berlin,
are looking for situation specific and/or participatory ideas, visions,
experiments and interventions which address the future meaning of 'public'
in Berlin's public Underground Network. They can range from being short,
interventionistic artistic reactions to specific occurrences on the
Underground to being long term collaborations aimed at creating sustainable
relationships to Underground staff and/or users over a number of years. A
total budget of 30.000 Euro for artist's fees, production, travel and
accommodation is available for a maximum of four projects to be realised
from May to December 2011. Deadline for applications is 01. October 2010.

 

Eligibility

 

Artists or collaborative groups of artists and non-artists are invited to
take part in this call for submissions. Preference will be given to artists
who see their work as a means of exchange and shared dialogue and who are
interested in reaching new audiences. This may include a readiness to
collaborate with, for example, groups of BVG staff or passengers who have
little experience of contemporary art. The organisors cannot take part in
the call themselves.
