[spectre] OPEN CALL FOR 2121

[Bjørn Magnhildøen]

Welcome to the 3rd call for this time capsule.

An open call is made each year for this exhibition which is to be unveiled
in the year 2121.

In 2121 none of us are here presumably. Given this time frame people are
encouraged to think long-term since there is little gain nor much
retroactive effect with a time span longer than life. The frame can help us
reflect on what we are now. In relation to this open call, there are no
self-reinforcing incentives, no money, nothing to look forward to, nothing
to show off.

A group of curators review the contributions each year. These reviews are
documented for posterity and made available. With these yearly discussions
the time capsule is not hermetically sealed.

This is an open invitation to the year 2121. You are invited to contribute
with ideas, works, or projects that could be of interest to a future
audience. The contributions will not be public until the expo in 2121.
Until then the contributions, titles, and artists' names are anonymized and
referred to by an entry number in the annual review documents. A
contribution might be reviewed several times through the century by a
changing curator group. The reasons for an anonymous and indirect exposure
via curatorial comments only is two-fold: It gives the public something to
grab onto during a century of suspense; and limiting the viewing to a few
curators transforms the artist's perspective and deemphasizes vanity.

This invitation is also addressed to robots and machines.
