What are the different approaches worldwide and how can we create synergies?

2nd International Painting Annual, Manifest, Cincinnati, Ohio

2nd INTERNATIONAL PAINTING ANNUAL
A Competitive Annual Publication of Works of Contemporary Painting
and Writing about Painting
Deadline: June 30, 2011

$1000 in cash prizes
For details and to enter visit: http://www.manifestgallery.org/inpa2

The INPA is a complementary project to the ongoing Drawing Annual (INDA). The goal of the INPA is to support the recognition, documentation, and publication of excellent, current, and relevant works of painting from around the world. As carefully designed high-end books, the INPA and INDA projects enable Manifest to assemble a diverse array of works by international artists, without the limitation of physical availability, gallery space, or shipping logistics. With this Manifest leverages its considerable experience in publication design specifically for works of art, with a high level of sensitivity to the artist's point of view.

In 2005 Manifest Press launched the International Drawing Annual project. In five completed volumes the INDA has presented 417 works by 238 artists from around the world, and distributed the books far and wide to collectors, patrons, libraries, museum bookstores, art students, professors, and artists. Thousands view the online supplemental resources provided with each publication. The project has gained a great deal of international respect over the past six years, making the INDA a trusted source for a consistent, balanced, and intriguing sampling of excellent contemporary drawing. The International Painting Annual parallels the Drawing Annual series, exploring and taking stock of this nearest kin to drawing, and bringing more excellent art by more artists to even more people than ever before. The INPA 1 is currently in production and scheduled to be released in June of 2011. The first volume will contain 129 works by 79 artists from around the world. (Learn more here: http://www.manifestgallery.org/inpa)

Manifest's book and gallery projects have become highly competitive and prestigious events for artists to be involved with. And each new project brings different artists together, with new work, in new ways, and with always surprising results. Manifest's books are designed and printed with the utmost care and attention to design integrity, making them exquisite documents of the art contained within.
Both soft and hardcover versions of the INPA 2 will be printed and available by June of 2012.

Submission process now open.

vessel International Curatorial Workshop, Bari, Italy

vessel – contemporary art space
28–30 May 2011
Deadline: May 15th, 2011

A three day workshop about cultural topology, the dynamism of forms and surfaces in relation to the transitory nature of reality, applicable to Eastern/Western Europe and the Mediterranean area. Emphasis will also be placed on the evolution of curating as a profession and its essential role in social and cultural redefinition.

Art has described, reflected upon and even instigated certain internal social and cultural dynamics in and around these territories. Art works in an extra-disciplinary manner, without the necessity of self-justification, which is often an obstacle for other divisions of knowledge. vessel aims to focus on "artwork" going beyond simply the physical art itself and transcending into reflections on the state of the world. In this context, art is a useful device to measure a more general consciousness of the state of global relationships. It helps us collectively think beyond the relations and patterns that are typically and constantly imposed upon us.

The non-tangible nature of art influences contemporary art and the protagonists involved in its development. The role of curator is in a phase of redefinition and parallels the dynamically evolving nature of contemporary art. vessel views the curator as a researcher who needs a place both to carry out and present research. This is a very different role from that of the art historian, whose principal task is to research particular artistic movements or moments, to select examples and to present this research within the conventions of a historical presentation. By contrast, the curator uses his or her research as a tool to interact with reality through art, resulting in a reflection upon contemporary society. vessel is not focused on the nuances of particular exhibitions, but rather how specific exhibition studies can serve as platforms for evaluation of broader curatorial concepts.

For this reason, our methodology will be based on group activities focused on individual case studies. The core of these case studies will be comprised of varying exercises dealing with secondary material concerning the curatorial practice in relation to the overarching exhibition made in a certain geographical area.

From these activities, we will additionally create a database, which will become the concrete formalization of the concepts that guide exhibitions. This elaboration will allow deeper analysis of the research made by curators for related exhibitions.

The workshop will be held by the Scientific Committee of Vessel :

Charles Esche – Director of Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven (Netherlands)
Ilaria Gianni – Writer and Curator
Cecilia Guida – Researcher and Independent Curator
Denis Isaia – Researcher and Curator
Viktor Misiano – Art Critic, Curator and Director of international museums
Marco Petroni – Art Critic and Curator
Roberto Pinto – Art Critic and Curator
Viviana Checchia – Researcher and Independent Curator
Anna Santomauro – Independent Curator

Deadline is May 15th, 2011.

Vessel is supported by the Apulia Region
