Venice 2011 / open call
OPEN CALL for PIRATE CAMP
1st edition
THE STATELESS PAV@54.Biennale di Venezia
VENICE/ITALY. MAY 31 – JUNE 6_2011
ON LINE SUBMISSION ONLY.
DEADLINE May 8_2011 May 10, 2011
CONIGLIOVIOLA art group and the non-profit organization Kaninchen-haus are promoting the international OPEN CALL for the 1st edition of Pirate Camp that will take place in Venice during the 54th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia.
“The Stateless Pavillion” is the title and theme of the 1st Pirate Camp: an invitation to focus on the theme of extraterritoriality seen as a natural and necessary condition for being-an-artist. A theme which finds it symbolical representation in the project’s two key-figures: the pirate and the encamped. The status of not-belonging-to-any-place (wheter real, common, cultural or symbolical), living on the edge, on the one hand consigns the artist to a condition of marginality, on the other it grants him a privileged point of view in representing and discussing the world.
The statelessness theme earns a special meaning when related to the context of La Biennale di Venezia, whose absolute peculiarity resides in the representation of national identities.
The Stateless Pavillion theme will develop as follows:
*) the 16 pirate-camp artists will be invited to develop specific art projects related to the theme
*) the 16 pirate-camp artists will follow a dedicated seminar with relevant guests which will also be open to an external public audience.

In una società come la nostra appiattita da leggi e circuiti sociali fasciste, portando come sua causa ad una qualità della vita estremamente bassa; credo che non vi sia posizione migliore da parte degli artisti che muoversi attraverso la pirateria.
L’arte è un fenomeno rivoluzionario,e l’artista è un’uomo che abbandona la società e le sue leggi precostituite per affermare la sua vocazione alla vita al di là di ogni schema sociale riconosciuto.
Complimenti per la scelta, mi auguro di essere tra i vostri.
