In the second phase participating projects may be invited to intervene in selected shop windows in Vic or other cities.

 

Invited Project
Ignasi Aballí is the invited artist to begin the programme Screens and Windows. Transparency intervention in the glass wall of the ACVic’s facade reflects on the physical characteristics of the building and its structural support. In this first case we take the Centre as a starting point for reflection and probably in later projects will be extended to other areas and territories. One of the main features of the large glass wall of the facade of the Centre d'Art is transparency, the interior and the interior are then connected through it. This is, firstly, in close and blind the condition of transparency of the windows, covering them with black vinyl, and secondly, to propose a reflection on the same condition of transparency of the glasses, placing them a text that letters have been cut, making a crack through which we look through both inside and outside of ACVic.

Open Call
ACVic issue an open call for proposals to participate in the projects programme Screens and Windrows throughout 2011. His call is addressed to creators of several disciplines with projects that express a relationship between data and territories. 


ata as units of raw meaning, must be contextualised within a specific territory. The territory incorporated within the project need not be that of the ACVic Centre, and may refer to any city, neighborhood, landscape or specific context. The relationship between data and place must be clearly specified. Subject matter and the referenced context are open.

 

Resources
Selected projects will be given a grant of 1.000 euros as artist fee. The centre will assume  total or partial production costs depending on budget. A

Screens and Windows is an ACVic project in collaboration with Hangar.

ACVic Centre d’Arts Contemporànies is a public cultural venue which promotes the creation, production and exhibition of proposals in the visual arts, as well as in other contemporary artistic disciplines.
ACVic Centre D'Arts Contemporànies follows a trend of action centred on the relationships among educational activities, territory and social interaction. Art and education, interlaced together, facilitate production spaces which favour experimentation, and an understanding of artistic practices as practices affecting, interacting and transforming social space.
ACVic is the result of a collaboration among the Ajuntament de Vic, Departament de Cultura i Mitjans de Comunicació de la Generalitat de Catalunya and l'H. Associació per a les Arts Contemporànies. Screen and Windows has the collaboration of Hangar.
