OPEN CALL for CPR 2016: Eastern Europe / Exhibition Award / CPR 2016: South America starts this week!

The Curatorial Program for Research (CPR) is pleased to announce its open call for curators for CPR 2016: Eastern Europe. Building Capitals, Finding Capital: Developing Projects across Prague, Warsaw, Kiev, and Moscow, CPR’s third fully-funded research program, will take place in September over the course of 25 days. Hosted by local institutions,
 the program gathers a cohort of up to ten curators, and offers daily visits to artist studios and local arts institutions, complemented by readings about local socio-political history, arts, and culture. Following the trip, each curator is asked to submit a proposal for a project in his/her home city, and one winning proposal will be awarded a production grant.

For application guidelines and further information, please visit curatorialprogram.org. Both independent curators and those with institutional affiliations may apply; only applicants with two+ years of professional experience will be considered. A jury comprised of CPR's executive staff (Carmen Ferreyra / Director and Founder, Jorgelina Dacil Infer / Director of Development, Cecelia Thornton-Alson / Academic Advisor) as well as local CPR hosts (Ondrej Stupal / Prague, Stanislaw Welbel / Warsaw, Clemens Poole / Kiev, Maria Mkrtycheva / Moscow) will select the participants.



The Curatorial Program for Research partners with local arts initiatives in each of its host cities and provides curators with a professional support structure with an international scope.
