[im] Open Call For Young Female Artists - The Katarzyna Kozyra Foundation

[Tamás Éliás]

“

The Katarzyna Kozyra Foundation (Poland) in partnership
with MeetFactory (Czech Republic), Easttopics (Hungary)
and Björnsonova (Slovakia) invites young female* artists to participate in
the Secondary Archive, an online platform for Central and Eastern Europe
women artists. The aim of the project is to promote, discover and
rediscover female artists and the most valuable phenomena of contemporary
art from the female perspective in the Visegrad countries. The Archive will
collect the statements of female artists of three generations – those who
were active before 1989, the generation who started their art practice
right after the fall of the Communist regime, and the youngest artists,
born after 1989. It will serve as an international source of information
about Central and Eastern European female art for both art professionals
and the wider audience. The project is supported by the Visegrad Fund and
helps to build a cooperation between art institutions and art professionals
in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.



The open call is organized for young, emerging, and early career female
artists with the aim to present the their voice and perspective. The
selected candidates will be asked to create an artist’s statement and will
be interviewed by curators. The result of these interviews, as well as the
statement and information they provide, will be published on the Archive’s
website. The jury will also select one artist from each country whose
vision and art practice will be encouraged with a cash grant of
500 euros**.
