Dear fellow Spectres,

we are pleased to announce our project "Arctic Perspective – Third
Culture 2008-2010" which HMKV is organising with its partners Projekt
Atol (Slovenia), The Arts Catalyst (GB), LORNA (Iceland) and CTASC
(Canada). This project has been funded with support from the European
Commission - Culture Programme. The project directs attention to the
global cultural and ecological significance of the polar regions.
These are zones of contemporary geopolitical conflict and at the same
time potential spaces for transnational and intercultural cooperation
and collaboration. The jointly obtained results will be presented in
the PHOENIX Halle Dortmund in the framework of European Capital of
Culture Ruhr.2010 as well as the international media-art conference
ISEA 2010 RUHR.

Comprehensive information can be found at

In the framework of this project HMKV together with its partners
announces a call for proposals for a "Mobile Media-Centric Habitation
and Work Unit" to be sited in the Arctic region (deadline 1 July
2009; 9.000 Euro in prize money available). The call for proposals
can be found at the URLs indicated above or in the attached PDF
document.

Please feel free to forward this information to anybody who might be
interested. Thank you!

Sincerely yours,
the HMKV team
