Extract from Theme:

Extract of 2010 Biennial theme: “The Arts, in its broadest sense, has often been produced in relationship to escapism. Often film-making and literary fiction are offered as a way of escaping the everyday, and particularly during bad times. It is often a dichotomy that this escapism also prevents us from dealing with the issues that need to be addressed (that, in a sense, have created the conditions for the need to escape). Escapism in such forms allows us to not only escape from our thoughts and concerns but also to remove ourselves geographically from our immediate environment or location.

The commissions are subject to the success of funding applications.

Conjunction is looking for artist that work in any media:

Conjunction wishes to offer 3 or 4 commissions that are able to work with a budget between £250 -£1000 pounds.

Artists whose work is performance based or has an element of live art:

The Conjunction group will also be looking for proposals that have elements of a Live Art and Performance, during the opening evening and weekend, again working with a budget between £250- £1000 pounds.

Deadline for proposals is the 31st of August 2010
