CALL FOR CURATORIAL PROJECTS

lille3000 will pre-select 4 to 8 curators

In 2004, Lille, the biggest city in Northern France, was European Capital
of Culture.
Artists and residents transformed the city throughout the year and left
landmarks which will remain in the collective memory and in reality : the
Metamorphoses, and Mondes parallèles, the maisons folie, the festivals,
celebrations, music, dance, design, thatre, clubbing, opened air events...
and, above all, an amazing enthusiasm.

This dynamic is extended further by lille3000, encompassing the wider
world and questions obout the future, by making full use of the know-how
and the attributes of the Lille metropolitan area and surrounding region.

lille3000 explores various fields: the idea of a new urban lifestyle and
the construction of the city of tomorrow, notions of spirituality and
questions related to society and culture in general.

Each edition of lille3000 - several months long - represents an opening
out to the wider world, with an energy reminiscent of that of Lille 2004,
involving several towns and cities on a local and a Euro-regional scale.
In 2006, contemporary India provided the theme to a multicoloured season
of events called «Bombaysers de Lille» ; in 2009, it will focus on Europe
and the city of Istanbul, under the title EAST IS THE NEW WEST IS THE NEW
EAST.

The main exhibition performance centre of lille3000 is the Tri Postal, a
former postal sorting centre transformed into a contemporary art centre
over a surface of 6000m2 and dedicated to a large public.

lille3000 proposes the following call for project for 2009:
