| [Nettime-ro] ERSTE Foundation PATTERNS_Call For Submissions |
Vienna, 8 November 2007 Dear colleagues, Please find enclosed information on our call for submissions. Please forward if you know about interesting projects and submit if you have one yourself. PATTERNS_Researching And Understanding Recent Cultural History Call For Submissions PATTERNS is a transnational programme that aims to research and understand recent cultural history. PATTERNS initiates, commissions and supports contemporary culture projects in a variety of formats and media. The programme focuses on the visual arts and culture of the 1960s until today. Call For Submissions As an addition to projects already underway within the framework of PATTERNS <http://www.erstestiftung.org/index2.php?lang=en&contentid=g> <www.erstestiftung.org/culture>, we are launching an open call for submissions. This call addresses projects in Central and South Eastern Europe that share PATTERNS' areas of interest. We support research, publications, as well as artistic and cultural projects and initiatives. PATTERNS aims to document, analyse and investigate different aspects of and practices related to the transformation of daily life and culture in Central and South Eastern Europe, while accounting for the pluralities that describe the region. PATTERNS seeks to promote understanding and knowledge of a differently lived past, which can facilitate a shared present and future. In doing so, it takes on the role of a "contemporary witness". The initiative focuses on the 1960s and 1970s, as well as on the transition period leading up to the present. The period commonly known as the "transition" is, without question, an important historical turning point, not only in the sense of reshaping and redefining what art and culture could mean in a post-totalitarian society: At historical and geographical fault lines, stories and historical documents emerge. The concern of the project is to chronicle these. Whom We Support The call addresses projects in the framework of non-profit organisations (NPO) in Central and South Eastern Europe. Since PATTERNS is an international programme, projects from other countries are also invited to apply if the topics they tackle are connected to the region or operate in at least one country of the region. We offer funding exclusively to non-profit organisations. Grants are not made to individuals or political parties. Individual project work must be embedded in the framework of a NPO. Timetable And Selection Process For Projects Deadline for submitting projects is Friday, 11 January 2008. Projects are selected by the PATTERNS Advisory Panel: Cosmin Costinas (author and curator, Bucharest / Vienna), Veronica Kaup-Hasler (director of Steirischer Herbst, Graz), Piotr Piotrowski (art historian, Poznan), Georg Schöllhammer (editor of Springerin and documenta 12 magazines, Vienna) and ERSTE Foundation. Projects will be selected during a meeting; the results will be published by the end of March 2008.
