Application Deadline: May 10, 2010

Application Form 

AVAM (Associated Visual Artists of Madrid) with the sponsorship of the Madrid Regional Government, invites proposals for a competition to select four artistic projects for inclusion in Madrid Procesos 10. This open call is an initiative promoted by AVAM and backed by the Madrid Regional Government and aimed at improving the conditions experienced by plastic and visual artists when they are producing and creating work.

The objectives of Madrid Procesos 10 are:

 - To offer the artists collective a platform for the support of coordination and the financing of artist's productions.

 - To further experimentation and the production process.

 - To analyse and draw attention to different models of contemporary artistic production, highlighting the factors which determine its development. 

 - To respect the rights of the profession and those of the author.

 - To help Madrid's artists create and disseminate their work, thereby promoting active international cooperation.

To this end, the Madrid Procesos competition has been initiated with the following lines of action:

  - A programme of support for the coordination and assessment of the production of artistic projects.

  - A mobility programme: aid for artistic production and its international dissemination in collaboration with the Karl Hofer Society of Berlin.

  - A dissemination programme: drawing attention to research, using resources and implementing the projects selected for Madrid Procesos through their dissemination in the media and publishing a digital catalogue.

a) Two artistic projects will be produced principally with existing resources in the Madrid Region during a period of approximately five months (June-October 2010).
