Site specific works sought for The 9th edition of this project, to be held in the Fresia Gardens, originally the site of the city???s zoo. Deadline: March 5, 2010.

The Art.ur Association and the Cuneo City Council announce the 2010 ZOOart Exhibition. The 9th edition of this contemporary art show will be held in July in the Fresia Gardens, originally the site of the city of Cuneo’s zoo.

Once again the organisers intention is to bring contemporary art into the public arena, as well as offering an opportunity for young artists to exhibit their work. Since it???s inception, the idea behind ZOOart has been to offer a space to unknown young artists and also bring attention to those who have also achieved some notoriety.

Again this year the exhibition is a group show, held for four days each week, from Thursday to Sunday, for three weeks. The works chosen to be exhibited will be exhibited for one or more weeks commencing on Thursday the 1st, then the following Thursdays on the 8th and 15th. Works that are site specific, and able to create a particular dialogue with the exhibition area will be favoured.

The selected artists might be asked to participate in events such as workshops or discussions and or other similar activities that will take place during the exhibition.

Artists who would like to participate are requested to send in a proposal that takes into account the conditions.

Participation is open to young artists of any nationality, representation as individuals or group works.

Three preferential places will be offered to students enrolled at the Albertina Academy in Turin.

There is no fee for participation.
