CALL FOR PROPOSALS 2010 - FESTIVAL BELLUARD BOLLWERK INTERNATIONAL, Fribourg, Switzerland

CALL FOR PROPOSALS 2010 - FESTIVAL BELLUARD BOLLWERK INTERNATIONAL
URBAN MYTH
Deadline : October 19th 2009

www.belluard.ch

The Festival Belluard Bollwerk International and the Pour-cent culturel Migros are looking for artistic projects that are dealing with Urban Myths.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An urban myth or urban legend is a modern story of obscure origin, consisting of unusual elements of humor, caution or horror, and thought to be true by those circulating them. Urban legends might be based on true facts, but they are often distorted, exaggerated, or sensationalized over time.

The most remarkable thing about urban legends is that so many people believe them and pass them on, without verifying if they are true. People frequently allege that such tales happened to a "friend of a friend”. Few urban legends can be traced to their actual origins.

Urban legends circulate in varying forms and are sometimes repeated in the media or distributed by e-mail. In some cases their diffusion might even be organized, in order to manipulate the masses.
Despite its name, a typical urban legend does not necessarily originate in an urban setting. The term is simply used to differentiate modern legend from traditional folklore in preindustrial times.

- The Festival Belluard Bollwerk International and the Pour-cent culturel Migros are looking for playful and radical projects that analyse, spread, fake, unveil, disrupt, modify, invent, refine and / or realise urban myths.

- Projects can take the form of performance work, interventions in the public space, installations, work with new media, artist-led walks, provocations that use media such as internet, radio, newspapers, etc.

- The call is open to all: to artists and practitioners from other fields, to Fribourg residents and people from other places, to individuals or groups.

- Selected proposals will be realised as a part of the Belluard Festival 2010.

- The projects can take place in one of the festival venues, on another location in Fribourg or in the public space.

- Projects will be selected by a jury of arts practitioners and experts from other fields.

- Selected proposals will have the possibility to be further developed during a residency in Fribourg, in collaboration with specialists from different fields.†
