PROGRAMME FOR THE INTERNATIONALISATION OF CONTEMPORARY BASQUE ART
Bitamine Faktoria is launching this call for applications within the framework established by its plan for the internationalisation of contemporary Basque art. The aim of this programme is to encourage artistic research and production, contribute to the promotion of creators, and promote the international mobility of artists.
It is open to artistic export projects for artists living and working in the Basque Country, whatever their discipline.
WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?
The aid is developed in two phases. Initially, the project will be worked on for several months in the Basque context. Once it has been completed, it will be exported for presentation in the city of Buenos Aires (Argentina), where it will be shown in different spaces that are benchmarks of current contemporary culture.
Together with local institutions, a calendar of activities will be established in which the artists will participate in different venues, museums, cultural spaces and galleries (round tables, debates, workshops, meetings and collective works) with significant local artists.
