Organized by the MARCO, Museo de Arte Contemporánea de Vigo, Spain
and FRAC Lorraine, Metz (Fonds regional d'art contemporain de
Lorraine), France, the purpose of the MARCO/FRAC Lorraine Award for
Young Curators is to offer participants the chance to execute an
exhibition project to occupy MARCO's first floor and the exhibition
venues at FRAC Lorraine. Entries will focus on the field of
contemporary artistic creation and contemplate the participation of
two or more artists.

The exhibition project will have a budget of a maximum sum of 30,000
Euro for each venue. The exhibition will take place from May to
September, 2010 at MARCO Vigo, and from October, 2010 and January
2011 at FRAC Lorraine. Proposals that include works from the
Collection FRAC Lorraine shall be taken into account. To visit the
Collection: http://collection.fraclorraine.org

All curators born in and after 1970 are eligible to enter the
competition. If an entry is a group creation, one person will be
chosen from that group to represent it and act as mediator with the
institution. Curators will not be allowed to participate as artists.
Entries must be previously unpublished and must contemplate the
participation of two or more artists. No more than one project per
entrant will be accepted.

The curator of the winning project will sign a contract with the
Fundación MARCO and FRAC Lorraine, agreeing to comply with the
functions derived from curating an exhibition, the characteristics of
which will be specified in the contract. These will include the
selection and location of the works, the design and supervision of
the installation, and the writing of at least one text for the
catalogue. The curator will receive the sum of 7,000 Euro, tax
included, as an honorarium.

A jury made up of professionals of the art world will select the
winning project and two finalists in November. The jury's decision is
final. The jury may declare the award void should they consider this
necessary. The criteria for evaluating the entries will be based on
quality and suitability to the characteristics of the first floor of
the MARCO as an exhibition space and exhibition spaces at FRAC
Lorraine.

The jury will be composed by:
Beatrice Josse, FRAC Lorraine Director
Iñaki Martínez Antelo, MARCO Director
Kevin Muhlen, Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain Director

Agar Ledo Arias, MARCO Head of the Exhibitions Dept.
