Institut des hautes études en arts plastiques (IHEAP)

Call for Applications 2013
IHEAP is open to all those who have an interest in singular and extreme practices which currently and sporadically appear in the art world and elsewhere. IHEAP is for those who want to change their artistic practice or professional activity, for those who after several years of art school want to break free of alienated learning, who expect more from a school than a framework for artistic production, for those who reject art as it is commonly practiced, and finally for those who wish to work on essential issues in intimate and experimental conditions.

The course of study is completed in two years (application for Session 2013-2015). The first year is composed of sessions work that mix practice and theorie. The second year is dedicated to the creation of an activity report. Its purpose is to demonstrate the development of the participant's research. The development of this document will be carefully followed by IHEAP's staff.

IHEAP does not discriminate by age and no specific diploma is required to apply. Study at Iheap is equivalent to a post-graduate degree. The application fee is 75 euros. Tuition is 2800 euros for two years studies.

Palais de Tokyo Young Curators Program

Call for Proposals

Application deadline: 30 September 2012

The Palais de Tokyo is dedicated to the emergence of the newest forms of contemporary art and seeks out and supports the new players, and new directions. Thus in the summer of 2013 the Palais de Tokyo is entrusting its entire program schedule to young curators. (Applicants must be under 40 years of age.) Selected on the basis of the proposals they submit, the winners will bear witness to the perpetual reinvention of the issues involved in curating an exhibition, their scouting talent, and their ability to dream up new ways of relating to art. This event is likewise intended to demonstrate the dynamism of Paris and the surrounding area as part of a joint initiative involving a great many partners and institutions.

The proposed project must clearly demonstrate innovative thinking about exhibition formats. Whether it relates to a solo or a group exhibition, it must envisage occupying a surface area that can be as large as 250 square meters. It must be capable of evolving in accordance with the technical constraints and the diversity of spaces that apply at the Palais de Tokyo. The selection will be made primarily on the basis of the inventiveness of the project, its curatorial boldness, and its relevance in the current field of creative work.

The 'Rencontres Internationales' reflects specificities and convergences of artistic practices between new cinema and contemporary art, explores emerging media art practices and their critical purposes, and makes possible a necessary time where points of view meet and are exchanged.
The event aims at presenting works to a broad audience, at creating circulations between different art practices and between different audiences, as well as creating new exchanges between artists, filmmakers and professionals.
It seeks to contribute to a reflection on our contemporary culture of image via a compelling program opened to everyone..
