OPEN CALL FOR EXHIBITIONS IN 2017
ZAVOD ZA KULTURO/CULTURAL CENTRE DELAVSKI DOM TRBOVLJE
A call in the frame of the TNM – Nova galerija DDT programme.
We are herewith inviting you to submission of your proposals for the exhibitions to be held at the Nova galerija DDT in Trbovlje in 2016. http://www.dd-trbovlje.si/?page_id=110">Nova galerija of Delavski dom Trbovlje operates in the premises of former boiler room and coal depot. The space is purposed for exhibitions of visual contemporary art, with the emphases on technologically-supported projects emplying new technologies for their presentation. The gallery is spatially conceived in two parts: the upper level of the gallery pursues the classic principle of a white cube, while the lower level retains its original industrial appearance. In this way we find even the white cube, at symbolic level, allocated within a wider concept of the location into which it’s placed.
We are hereby calling to participation and application & submission of proposals individual artists and art collectives/groups whose creative production lies in the field of fine/visual arts, new media, audio-visual, performative and other visual practices. Priority will be given to new media and contemporary works.
