Those in positions of authority expect artistic acts to be clear and conclusive when engaging the political or the social - to present findings, to mediate where learning fails, to teach lessons, to enlighten the ignorant, to speak out for those who can’t. And yet this ascription of authority, this expectation of clarity, this consolation of conclusiveness leaves us with a very particular understanding of the capacity of art: works of art need to be transparent, spectators emancipated, issues instructed down.

Deadline for applications is July 31 2009.
