    FINNISH FOREST - SOURCE OF ART
    WOOD/INSTALLATION SYMPOSIUM - Spring 2008

    an art project with and in the forest
     

    The aim of the symposium is to refine the basic layout of the present labyrinth. This layout has been designed by Ulrika Sparre (Sweden) and Irene Anton (Germany) in 2007. Their assignment was to organize the labyrinth in such a way as to leave space for later refinements by other artists.

    We have selected possible locations for site specific art to be implemented during the symposium period. The works to be realized must form a symbiosis with the environment of the labyrinth, but at the same time they must function as an unexpected encounter for the observer.

    The schedule which we advise for the coming symposium is 4 days for deliberation and conception of the proposal which will be discussed with us. After this initial phase there will be 1 week time to do the practical work and fine-tune the allocated space(s). This work will encompass the necessary clearing of brush and the building/construction of the work/installation(s). Manual assistance will be organized by us at that time.

    From Saturday 19 to Wednesday 30 April 2008 the labyrinth symposium, FINNISH FOREST SOURCE OF ART -ENCOUNTERS- , will be held at Saksala ArtRadius and ArtRadius Sculpture Park in Haukivuori, Finland.

    Four artists will be selected on the basis of their work.
    We have now set the dates and you can apply by filling out the attached form and submit it either documentation of your work or the URL (address) of your WebPages: First name: Birth date: Nationality: Art education:

    Proposals cannot be presented at this stage because we want the artists who will be selected to make their proposal on location and in mutual discussion.
    We are capable of making a selection based on the presented documentation of your work.
    The closing date for sending your application is March 1 2008.
    March 15 we will send the invitation to the selected artists.
    March 21 is the deadline for the acceptance of the invitation.

    fee for the artist 600€ (this will be paid to the artist on April 30 2008)
