Exploring polemical perspectives on architecture and art and open up a debate on the role of culture as a source of conflict and criticism. Deadline: 30 January, 2010.

The austere architecture of Brutalism is often vilified as producing social neglect rather than the vibrant community life envisioned by its architects. Art, on the contrary, is mostly seen as a potent tool to for social cohesion.

In this show we would like to explore polemical perspectives on architecture and art and open up a debate on the role of culture as a source of conflict and criticism.

We are looking for work that reflects on the relationship between art/architecture and its social/physical context or on issues around creative expressions of social discontent. Work can include video, performance, 2D and 3D work, presentations/lectures.

Submission format:

Please send a DVD/CD with 5 images and/or 1-3 videos, a CV and a brief description of the proposed work to:
