Time Machine : Comment réfléchir le temps?
Call for projects : Winter Window Show 2022
For its eighth edition, Montreal Monochrome reflects on the different notions of time. How do we reflect on time in an era where current events seem to be in constant flux and intertwined without a real capture of current injustices? How do we reflect on time when we are all part of an ecosystem of artists and cultural workers with different realities and diverse backgrounds? How do we reflect on the notions of crip time (1) and its multiple definitions, from one experience to another? Can we really decolonize time? Is time influenced by a linear western and capitalist vision or is it rather a circular notion (2)?
As a project of the Fabulous Committee, this year the Short Term Programming Committee is joining the efforts of the Fabulous Committee to combine the annual conference with a window exhibition and a Special Project. Both proposals are an invitation to think about the new gallery space in terms of multiple notions of time.
Window exhibition: Artists and artist collectives are invited to submit proposals for a window project to be presented during the period of December 8, 2022 to January 13, 2023. Always reflecting on the theme of time, this call is an invitation to occupy the interior space of the articule window. It is not necessary to have presented in a gallery beforehand. Once set up, the project must be autonomous and not require the work of the center's staff for the duration of the exhibition. Video works or works requiring any kind of lighting or start-up are not accepted. articule offers an artist's fee of $1075.00.
PROPOSALS MUST INCLUDE:
● The title and a 250-300 word summary of your proposal.
● A list of technical requirements (if available).
● A paragraph (500 words max) with information about you and your practice. Please feel free to mention internet links or attach relevant documentation if available.
Send your submissions to soumission@articule.org
Submission deadline: November 15, 2022 at 11:59 pm.
Event dates: December 8, 2022 to January 13, 2023 at the articule gallery
Submissions must be designed for the articule space, see space map.
—-------------------
The Fabulous Committee is a space for Black, Indigenous and/or racialized articule members, as well as Black, Indigenous and/or racialized queer and/or trans members, to come together, to have a space to care for each other, to exchange ideas, to share their practice and to see art together. The activities of the Fabulous Committee change according to the needs and desires of the members.
The Short Term Programming Committee is particularly interested in "undisciplined" practices and projects that manifest themselves in in situ contexts and/or non-gallery sites.
