Call For Proposals, Tou Works, Stavanger, Norway.
Tou Works, Stavanger Norway
Deadline 5th of November 2007.

The east side of Stavanger, Norway is expanding rapidly,
incorporating culture, business and residents. The city's habits and
patterns are changing at a speedy rate but what kind of changes does
this imply? Looking at the route that starts at Nytorget, Pedersgata
ending up at Tou Scene, this project invites artists, citizens, city
planners and local businesses to comment the route, a 15-minute walk.
We hope these comments will highlight the route as an extraordinary
experience/walk in itself and question and explore this specific
environment.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Creative people from all artistic fields are invited to propose work
inspired by sites on this route. The selected artists will be offered
a 10 days research period developing work in Stavanger followed by a
5- day showing/event and 2 days of aftermath. The artists will be
sharing their process and working methods during the workshops and
participate in worktasks, lectures and a seminar as a shared process.
Each artist selects a site that will be negotiated with the curators
and the local residents. Private homes, shop windows, the public
restrooms of the old square, a street corner and a bush can all
become hosts for artistic triggers and the work be everything from
alternative road signs, ephemeral shops/temporary cafés, people as
places/sites, walk in cinema etc. Work can result in installations,
interactions, sound pieces and live work, the sky is the limit and we
hope to get surprised, shocked or amazed by your suggestions!
