ArtTrail Festival 2009
'Rediscovering Locality'
13th-22nd November 2009
ArtTrail invites
artists of all disciplines, individuals or groups, curators,
organisations, and venues, to propose projects, performances, events,
walks and more for this year's ArtTrail festival - responding to the
theme 'Rediscovering Locality'.
Running
over ten days, the festival will follow two main strands - Exhibitions
and Open Studios - with a series of Tours and Talks weaving between
them.
EXHIBITIONS & PROJECTS
Locations/Venues:
Following from ArtTrail's
use of the Docklands in 2008, we aim to focus events in the upper
Docklands and City Centre, but are not restricting proposals to this
area.
Locations and venues can be
used or disused premises, public or private, indoors or outdoors. At
least one space will be a large warehouse-type building on the quays.
Seperate proposals may be sited in the same venue if suitable.
OPEN STUDIOS & STUDIO EVENTS
This year, the ArtTrail
Open Studios is expanding to include group and individual studios in
Cork County as well as City. Participating studios are asked to
organise at least one public event in their space during the week, and
to be open for at least three days. You can apply to be included in
this through a seperate form, available by emailing us (and available soon from the website - www.arttrail.ie)
PSYCHO-GEOGRAPHICAL TOURS
Art Trail is looking for submissions in programming Dérives,
a series of weekday lunchtime walks in Cork. These walks will
investigate the city from a range of artistic, historical and
psycho-geographical perspectives, re-examining the urban environment
through subjective experiences, narrative explorations and conceptual
approaches. Walks can include other sites and venues used in the
festival and should last approximately 30 minutes. Applicants should include a brief text on their proposal and, where applicable, a draft map or itinerary of the proposed route.
TALKS & WORKSHOPS
A number of talks by
participating artists and invited guests will take place during the
festival, and may be incorporated in the above strands. We also welcome suggestions for speakers and/or topics.
