protoPLAY is currently inviting expressions of interest from artists – sound, music, visual art and Live Art to take part in Co-LAB’08, an exciting collaborative residency, taking place in Estonia, on 06 – 12 October 2008. Based in the Art Kontainer, Tallinn art centre run by Estonian collective Non Grata.
Co-LAB’08 focuses on a series of open-ended collaborative projects, and a rapid turnover or creation and public presentation. Questioning the notions of individual authorship, cultural-recycling and the taboo of plagiarism, the project takes individual works as a starting point for collaboration and attempts to build, from scratch, a collective identity – or at least, a shared creative space. Both the premise and the context aim to facilitate artistic risk, as well as time for reflection and conversation.
Co-LAB’08 is for artists who want to be challenged in their collaborative, creative and devising abilities, and wish to explode the boundaries of their individual practice.
Additional workshops and performance events are optional and have been planned (12th-19th of October) to make the artist experience richer.
Please contact Orion Maxted protoPLAY.collective@hotmail.com, to express an interest, and to receive more detailed information about the projects, spaces, and practical things.
As we are now searching for the last artists to take part, applications will now be accessed and allocated on a rolling basis, until the project is full. Please contact as soon as possible to avoid disappointment and increasing air-fares.
