Hello spectre,

I send you information about the call of projects of IDENSITAT 07, 
that's open till November the 15th.

IDENSIAT is a public art program that takes place at a net of towns 
near Barcelona; I wish that you be interested in it to distribute 
through your mailing list. Otherwise I don't know if there are some 
requirements to do it or if we have to pay any taxes. If there are, 
please inform us about.

For further information, <http://www.idensitat.org/>www.idensitat.org

Thanks for all,

Oriol Fontdevila

IDENSITAT 07
HOME / AWAY

Call for projects open until November the 15th, 2006.

www.idensitat.org


IDENSITAT 07 starts its fourth edition calling for projects. It is 
addressed to artists who offer proposals in the field of public 
space, from a multidisciplinary perspective and having the will of 
interacting in the social space of the territory where the project is 
promoted.


IDENSITAT is a programme developed biannually with the aim of 
offering mechanisms for the structuring of creative projects in the 
field of public space and that are related to the territory.

Since 1999 a series of projects and activities have  been done in the 
town of Calaf, and progressively other relations have been 
established with more towns, with the aim of allowing the development 
of projects that can be adapted to the own and multiple specificities 
arising out from the singularity of a place. IDENSITAT 07, just like 
in the previous edition, takes place in two towns of the Barcelona 
province, Calaf and Manresa, and moreover expands the territorial 
network with the development of a project in the town of Mataró, 
supported by Can Xalant.



TERRITORIES IN PROCESS

IDENSITAT 07 is conceived as an observatory of the territory and a 
laboratory for the development of projects, offering the opportunity 
to intervene in an active way in the urban processes, precisely when 
there is a phenomenon of expansion and growth, as well as a 
redefining of the identities that characterise them. The aim is to 
favour a field of action, experimentation and debate, which started 
in the previous edition of the programme (IDENSITAT 05).

Considering the moment of intense urban evolution going on now in 
Calaf, Manresa and Mataró, the participants must articulate certain 
artistic activities which include critical, analytic and 
propositional regards that can involve certain groups of population; 
or that permit formulating alternative proposals at the same time, so 
that it is possible to perceive, face and participate in the urban 
processes taking place in a specific moment.


CALLING FOR PROJECTS

The call IDENSITAT 07 is structured around two categories of 
presentation, having each different goals and characteristics. One 
points to the production of projects and the other one for already 
implemented proposals (documentary projects). HOME / AWAY is the 
motto chosen for a possible project development based on the tension 
between the two concepts: the belonging to a territory, the identity 
issues, the long-term cultural structuring, etc; being opposed or 
related to the superficial, distant, curious and less engaged regard, 
the tourist experience, or others which could be stated thanks to the 
projects emerging in this call.

PRODUCTION OF PROJECTS linked to a place and activated through 
procedural strategies and strategies of cooperation with social 
groups; or with projects intervening specifically or incisively in 
the public space of these different towns, existing the possibility 
of using the infrastructure and means already available in the 
territory.


PROJECTS OF DOCUMENTATION. This category gathers those works 
developed in other contexts, thus promoting their diffusion and 
linking them to different activities of debate, exposition and 
edition organised by IDENSITAT.


SELECTION COMMITTEE. The selection committee of this call will be 
constituted by Santiago Cirugeda, architect and artist; Amanda 
Cuesta, independent curator; Alicia Murria, art critic and director 
of the magazine ARTECONTEXTO; Ramon Parramon, director of IDENSITAT; 
Lorenzo Romito, architect and member of STALKER.


ECONOMIC ENDOWMENT. The economic endowment destined to each selected 
project in the section PRODUCTION OF PROJECTS will be determined by 
its budget, having available a maximum amount of 11,000 ¤. In 
reference to the DOCUMENTATION PROJECTS, the economic endowment might 
depend on the presentation format of the project; having available a 
maximum of 1,500 ¤.


The deadline for this call of projects is November the 15th, 2006.
