TRUE/FALSE, US | DEADLINE: JUNE 15, 2015
Every year, True/False brings a multitude of talented visual artists from near and far to reinvent venues and transform public spaces. What began as a visual backdrop for our fest over ten years ago is now an integral part of every aspect of what we do. In 2016, we hope to continue to expand our artistic reach, both in the array of concepts explored and in the variety of artists represented. For 2016, True/False is looking for dynamic, original, large-scale site-sympathetic installations; ideally these installations will be flexible as far as where and how they are installed, and will be built to be used for more than one year (though we are open to projects that will necessarily be one-use). Aesthetically, we encourage artists to use as inspiration the overarching ideas and mission of the festival (broadly, reality reimagined; an immersive artistic experience that seeks to transform the everyday; if you’re not familiar with T/F, we encourage you to read about the festival elsewhere on our website by exploring the tabs above) and/or the 2016 theme (see below). In most cases, we will provide varying degrees of input and guidance throughout the process (aesthetically and/or in regards to construction and installation plans).

KORO invites artists of all disciplines to submit ideas for time-limited public artworks for Bergen University College’s Vågestykke project. The Vågestykke project (vågestykke = “act of recklessness”/“daredevil feat”) aims to galvanize the college’s everyday working environment as well as all stakeholders’ commitment to the college’s societal role and aspirations. Examples of the types of projects the art committee is looking for include: projects with academic, social or political links; happenings; technologically challenging experimental works; and performative, auditory and/or visual works. The artworks may pervade the entire college area, including “non-physical” space, as well as the surrounding environment, and may last anywhere from a few minutes to the duration of the project period. Selected proposals will be required to undergo further development prior to final approval. Entrants whose ideas are selected must be prepared to participate in seminars and debates. Implementation of the works ultimately approved will be scheduled in such a way as to achieve an optimal programme for the project as a whole. This programme will be developed in collaboration with the artists whose ideas are selected. The goal is to create a single programme running over a three-year period that will encompass a range of projects, each differing in economics, intensity, duration and complexity.
