*Due Date has been postponed to October 29th.
Bamboo Curtain Studio is a place where artists can feel free to dream, to create, to experience and to practice. We believe the ability to innovate creatively is the core of any civil society. we also affirm every person’s capability in creating solutions to problems. We need the courage and the spirit of exploring and to think outside of the box.
Each year our studio focus on the value between art and society through different themes: from ''Share, Connect, Co-create'', ''Social Change '' to ''Creative Collaboration as Catalyst for Change''. These themes all held an opened idea which encourages artists to try, besides using different materials, to aim at a higher sensibility towards social awareness and related sustainability issues.
In the year of 2018, we will introduce the theme of ''Rule of Game'' for our studio’s Creative Talent program. we wish to investigate how different settings hold different rules of the game. By having the freedom of choice, one maneuver under the limitations within a game, one will make various encounters with people, building up communities under these social occasions, going forward making mutual influences, and pave the way to taking actions. What's interesting is, because people are in the equation, after they make the first contact, they also make impacts on each other via these interactions. While resolving conflict and disagreements, they lead each other towards changes in rules.
Issues nowadays no longer fit to be handled with traditional methods, and what positions can artists take to properly interpret social awareness and sustainability? How do we come up with innovative rules of the game that can face up towards society, which is geared under capitalism and consumerism? What are the possibilities out there now and in the future?
We welcome visual artists, performing artists, curators, engineers, architect designers, researchers and multidisciplinary artists/creators to submit your idea/work, which can freshen-up the potentials of social engagement. We look forward to seeing proposals that makes people WOW!
