To mark its 10-year anniversary, sculpture network will publish curators' thoughts on sculpture being made in Europe today. Publication will take place throughout 2014. We are offering 10 selected curators a platform to promote themselves and their ideas, to a specific target audience of around 20,000 art professionals, artists, mediators, collectors and friends of the arts in Europe and beyond.
Each of the selected will be promoted as Curator of the Month at a given time in 2014. Their presented proposals and a video statement will be featured throughout the sculpture network platform: webpage, newsletter, social media channels (Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn) and mailings, in three languages: English, German and Spanish, with sculpture network undertaking the translation. The project will be presented to the public via Video Live Stream, Europe wide, on 19 January 2014, during sculpture network's European annual sculpture celebration, nyb'14. Additionally we are looking for funding to create a small publication about this project.
Selection is by an international jury and only proposals that comply to the format requested, will be considered. Please read the following carefully before submitting your proposal.
