The CURATORIAL PROGRAM FOR RESEARCH (CPR) is currently accepting applicants for its second fully funded research program which will take place in cities across South America in May 2016. CPR 2016: South America will occur over the course of 20 days across Bogotá, Medellín, Santiago de Chile, and Buenos Aires. Hosted by local institutions, each program gathers a cohort of ten curators, and stresses both academic rigor and on-site research. Each city features a specialized curriculum, which includes readings and lectures about local socio-political history, arts, and culture. These are complemented by daily visits to artist studios and local arts institutions. Following the trip, each curator is asked to submit a proposal for a project in his/her home city; one winning proposal will be awarded funds for its production. Both independent curators and those with institutional affiliations may apply; only applicants with two+ years of professional experience will be considered. A jury comprised of CPR's executive board as well as local CPR hosts (Carolina Castro Jorquera / Santiago de Chile, Marina Reyes Franco / Buenos Aires, Emiliano Valdés / Medellín) will select the participants. Applications are due January 5, 2016. Applicants will be notified by February 1, 2016. For application guidelines and further information, visit curatorialprogram.org. The Curatorial Program for Research partners with local arts initiatives in each of its host cities and creates a professional support structure with an international scope. CPR is the core facilitator of an international network of curators, artists and institutions. The program was created by curators and for curators, and is a non-profit international organization based in Indianapolis, USA, with satellite locations in more than 12 cities throughout the world.
