From Memory to Material

International Visual Arts & Curatorial Studies Competition

Selection

Students are asked to present a proposal – an exhibition, a material montage, an artistic project in form of collage or merzbau – that, by using the support as an archive, becomes a way to tell, historicize, and describe some of the issues of the current socio-political context. The proposal has to be developed starting from the experience and the work style of the candidate so that the structure and the proposed intervention point out his/her specific creative, artistic and curatorial skills.
