CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
VIVA! Art action - 2nd edition
From the 17 to the 26 of September 2009 in Montreal

DEADLINE: December 5, 2008

VIVA! Art action is a shared initiative between the artist-run centers articule, Clark, DARE-DARE, La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse, Praxis art actuel and Skol, which gave rise to the first international live art event in Montreal in the fall of 2006. VIVA! Art action proposes a vibrant environment that favors emerging, ephemeral, unpredictable and constantly shifting art practices. The first edition was characterized by a unique convivial atmosphere and provided a space for exchange and spontaneity thanks to the collective activation of a central location. Inspired by the success of the first edition, the six artist-run centers have set up a second VIVA! Art action event, wishing to renew their commitment to art that manifests itself in the « here and now »!

VIVA! invites local, national and international artists, collectives, curators and theorists to submit proposals for performances, happenings, actions, infiltrations, public and participative interventions, workshops and debates. Residencies or durational works whose timelines (up to 4 weeks) overlap with the festival will also be considered. We encourage projects that address the issues and specificity of various contexts, inscribing themselves in storefront and gallery spaces, community centers, concert venues, public space, the private sphere or in non-site...

VIVA! respects the artist fee rates established by RAAV/CARFAC 2008.
