Casco - Office for Art, Design and Theory, e-flux and Kadist Art 
Foundation offer the possibility for artists and writers to travel to 
the 2013 Venice Biennale and to follow the Ideological Guide to the 
Venice Biennale 2013, a project by artist Jonas Staal.

The Ideological Guide to the Venice Biennale 2013 is a free iPhone 
and Android app that provides insight into the political, economic 
and general ideological infrastructure of the Biennale. The guide 
offers critical reflections by prominent artists, curators, and 
theoreticians that help the user to explore the ideological framework 
of each national pavilion. Additional data provides further 
commentary on the political background, selection procedure, and 
financing of each of the exhibitions on display and their relation to 
each other. 

Free download of the Guide:

We support three applicants by covering their travel costs, including 
a return flight, four nights' accommodation and daily per diems. The 
selected travelers are in turn asked to submit a travelogue to be 
published on the e-flux online publishing platform. With these 
writings, we hope to share and extend possibilities to engage-and 
interfere-with one of the most predominant contemporary art 
infrastructures.

If you are interested, please send your motivation 
to <mailto:opencall at ideologicalguide.com>opencall at ideologicalguide.com. 
The motivation should be maximum 1500 words, inclusive of 
introductory information on yourself. The deadline is 30 June 2013.

Our selection criteria are:
-Criticality
-Intersectional views on national representations within a wider 
political, social and artistic scope
-Speculation and engaging writing 

For inquiries, please email us
