TAGS: art, biennial, call, iolab, stavanger


This call for works is very exciting, as there 
are very few bigger exhibitions of electronic art 
in the Nordic region. Electrohype in Malmö did an 
excellent biennial for many years, but had to 
close down due to short-sightedness of the local 
funding bodies.

i/o/lab in Stavanger has long been aiming to 
become a full-fledged node in the Norwegian 
electronic art network. With the Article project 
they will contribute significantly to the scene.
Call for work: Article biennial of electronic art, Stavanger.
Article is one of the main projects for Stavanger 
2008 - European Capital of Culture. Article 2006 
will be a pilot project for the 2008 installment, 
but also to underline that Article is intended as 
a biannual event BEYOND the scope of the European 
Capital year.




Article will be comprised of: a main exhibition; 
a conference related to the themes of the 
biannual; in-depth practical and theoretical 
workshops and seminars; and contributions from 
local resources and other collaborative partners.

The goal of Article is to promote artforms which 
don't merely employ electronic techniques in its 
production and display, but also actively comment 
on technology, the ethics and politics of 
technology and the evolution and dissemination of 
technology. Article wishes to establish an open 
arena for artforms which critique and engage 
social processes and present reflected positions 
on the expressive qualities and contexts of the 
media.

By «Unstable artforms» we intend to encompass art 
which is not institutionalised and stabilised by 
traditional frameworks of production and 
distribution, art which crosses disciplinary 
boundaries, which engages unusual contexts and 
references, or art which is not anchored by 
permanent, static objects. [Š]

Deadline: 15 June 2006
