We are primarily interested in completed productions but will give equal merit to incomplete/suggested work and proposals in the evaluation of applications.
Article wishes to present work which is either site- or context-specific, work which explores and exploits the potential for artistic expression in everyday surroundings and objects. Please note that Article operates without a gallery space, and presents the selected art projects on public spaces selected in collaboration with the artist.
The artist/group we invite will receive artists fees.

It is now confirmed that Per Platou will participate in one or more roundtable discussions at Les Rencontres Internationales in Paris, taking place at the Centre Pompidou, the musée national du Jeu de Paume, the Palais de Tokyo contemporary art centre and other locations at the end of November.
The debates in this years edition will focus on issues in art programming between new cinema and contemporary art - film, video, installation and net art.
Participants will be curators, artistic directors and programmers from European and extra-European national museums, contemporary art centers and biennales, in the fields of contemporary cinema, video and new media. The presence of these participants in Paris, each of them having an expert view on cultural and contemporary art issues, is of genuine interest.
The debates that will be proposed have a real stake : presenting a panorama of preoccupations and tracks explored in each country to give an account of this contemporary practices, and to accompany them, from the criticism side as well as from the side of audiences and artists themselves. The issues approached in each round table are subject to a preparation according to the specific participants of each round table, to their centers of interests and their artistic and professional preoccupations.
