23rd Paiz Art Biennial
It is proposed as a tool to nurture curatorial development, expanding the possibilities of participation of the creators of Guatemala. It is open to artists but also to poets, musicians, designers, artisans, dancers, or any other profile interested in participating in the Biennial whose practice is aligned with the same interests.
Requirements:
-Those who wish to postulate their participation must be of legal age and native of the country or have been based in Guatemala for more than five years.
- They must send a dossier by e-mail to: 23bienalpaiz@fundacionpaiz.org.gt, starting August 8. The closing date for the acceptance of dossiers will be September 16, 2022.
- The dossier should be sent as a PDF with the following:
A. Resume including full name, e-mail, physical address, phone numbers (landline and mobile), and website, if available.
B. Text with a summary of the artist's trajectory and statement, in which the artist's experience, themes, and interests are presented (maximum 300 words).
C. Between ten and fifteen digital images of recent works with their corresponding technical specifications: name of the artist, the title of the work, year, medium, and measurements.
D. If the work is in another format, attach the links to videos, sound, or written files, as appropriate.
E. Dossiers received with incomplete information will not be considered for selection.
Proposals may address issues (but are not limited to these) that have to do with the relationships between memory, language, identity, community, diasporas, gender, or territory, embracing the complexity of contemporary societies and the challenges of the common future.
Artists selected for the 23rd Paiz Art Biennial through this call will be notified of their participation by e-mail on Friday, September 30, 2022, and must observe the following general requirements:
A. Be willing for their work to be presented during the scheduled time of the exhibition and that it will not be withdrawn earlier without joint agreement between the parties.
B. Selected participants will be paid an honorarium of $400. Once the work to be presented is finalized, each artist may apply to a production fund of up to $800.
C. Be willing to transport and set up the work on the date and in the space designated by the curatorial team in adequate conservation conditions, with the production support provided by the Biennial's organizers. The artist must assume any extra cost.
D. The works will be returned during the three days following the end of the Biennial. If, for any reason, the artist can't pick up the work, they must previously designate in writing another person to pick it up. If more than three days have passed and the work has not been picked up, the Foundation may dispose of the work in any way it deems convenient, without the right to any claim by the artist.
E. The decision of the curators shall be final.
