OpenGround 2016 – A training workshop for artists and curators
31 October - 4 November 2016
OpenGround is a project initiated by State of Concept, Athens and lettera27, Milan. The two organisations are partnering on the occasion of Tandem Europe 2015-17 to co-create a replicable training model for the professional development of artists and curators.
OpenGround will be the first pilot workshop in Greece focusing on the professional development of young artists and curators. During an intensive 5-day workshop, OpenGround will bring together a team of international art professionals and participants creating the conditions for new international collaborations to emerge. Through a diverse programme of practical assignments and case studies, it will offer the participants with practical knowledge that may not be available in their local context or not addressed by the art establishment and academy.
The programme will cover the following topics:
– Artist residencies, grant opportunities & applications
– Artist contracts
– Copyright and Copyleft
– Portfolio Building and Portfolio Reviews
– Personal promotion and online communication
– Exhibition Design
OpenGround 2016 will take place in Athens between the 31st of October and 4th of November 2016.
All modules will be held in English. A certificate of attendance will be provided at the end of the workshop.
Participation in the workshop is free. We accept applications from international applicants. However, please note that we cannot cover flights to Athens and living expenses.
All applications will be assessed by a jury of international art professionals consisted of:
Giovanna Amadasi, Head of Cultural and Institutional Programs of Pirelli HangarBicocca (Milan)
Antonia Alampi, Curator, writer and researcher
Arnoldo Mosca Mondadori, Poet & writer
