Siqueiros Project: La Tallera is announcing a call for submissions for the third session of its Escuela de Crítica de Arte (ECA), inviting all professionals in the field of contemporary art to apply. This program has been developed by La Tallera with the goal of redefining the role art criticism plays in the complex system of contemporary art production and dissemination, a world in which curatorial practices have come to displace the written text. The program for 2017 will be held between April 21 and 29, on site at the Siqueiros Project: La Tallera Museum located in the city of Cuernavaca, Morelos. The Escuela de Critica de Arte will take in 12 students for this session, 9 of whom will be professionals currently residing in Mexico. Thanks to the support of the Patronato de Arte Contemporáneo de México (PAC), the Escuela will also accept 3 foreign students, who must be bilingual with a 90% command of the Spanish language and interested in the writings and contemporary makeup of the field of Latin American art. Applicants interested in participating in 2017 Escuela de Crítica de Arte must submit one written work of art criticism they have authored, allowing the Siqueiros Project's team to become acquainted with their written work, accompanied by a CV, a brief bio and a cover letter explaining why they wish to participate in the program (not to exceed one page). Materials must be submitted to the following email address: tallera.difusion@inba.gob.mx with Candidatura ECA 2017 in the subject line. Accepted students will be chosen by the Proyecto Siqueiros team. After the results are announced, each candidate accepted will receive an email containing the exhibition program for the Proyecto Siqueiros: Sala de Arte Público – La Tallera, between 2009 and 2016. Using this exhibition program, admitted professionals will choose one exhibition from the list about which to write a critical text while the ECA is in session. All accepted applicants must inform the Siquieiros Project of their choice by April 20. Those candidates who do not provide a selection by this time will be unable to participate further in the Escuela. Siqueiros Project: La Tallera will assume all costs of transportation, room and board for all selected participants. The deadline for receiving applications is February 28. Results will be announced by the Siqueiros Project via social media on March 20. All candidates will receive an email confirming whether or not they have been accepted to participate in the program.
