Call for raw materials
MAREBOX project (614735- CREA-1-2019-1-EL-CROSS-SECT-INNOVLAB) co-funded by Creative Europe Programme of the European Commision (Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency) is pleased to announce this Call, aimed to collect “raw materials” to be used by artists for the creation of the artworks during the residency programme in the context of the Water Weighs open call (more information here).
Developing cultural, artistic, innovative and audience-centered experiences on the topic of underwater culture, is the key objective of MAREBOX Project. Through artistic view and exhibitions, we want to enable the protection and promotion of European Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH), which is not easily accessible to the wider public, and the raising of awareness on the current challenges of the Sea (from marine pollution, to migration routes, ghost gear, etc.). Through the open call for artists, we aim to:
- Bring an artistic view to highlight and raise awareness of the current challenges of the European Sea.
- Create greater openness to partnerships between arts, culture, science and the business industry with a mission to promote and protect maritime cultural and natural wealth, making it accessible to the public.
- Connect people with their past, their present and future, through the long-term survival and accessibility of common European maritime heritage.
Artists and People will be selected to join the project and create digital or hybrid artworks, aimed to create innovative and audience centered experiences that can be displayed in spaces around Europe.
The “raw materials” will be collected into a database and made available to Artists and People to be freely used in their artworks.
The Exhibition
The designed Exhibition will display digital technologies and replicas of artefacts jointly used to communicate the relationship between the European cultures and the Mediterranean Sea. The Exhibition will be hosted in 3 exhibition spaces in Europe for a month and it will be curated by SAVVY Contemporary (project partner).
- Cosenza, Italy
- Alonissos, Greece.
- Berlin, Germany
The exhibition can be potentially transferred within various locations around Europe after the project.
Core Theme
We invite Institutions, Research teams, Museums, Engineers, Video Makers, Archaeologists, Scientists, Artists, Activists etc. to submit materials of the following categories:
- Physical (e.g. 3D printed replicas from objects recovered from the seabed, artworks, marine litter, etc.);
- Digital (e.g. photos, videos, 3D models, audio recordings, voice-overs, musical compositions, audio effects, documents, illustrations, digital paintings, animations, etc.);
The submitted material should fit with one or more subtopics (ancient commercial routes, ancient and contemporary migration phenomena, maritime pollution etc.) connected with the main topic: the Mediterranean Sea as a witness of human life and as a bridge between cultures.
The European seabed hosts remains of human traces that cover more than 5000 years of European history. Starting from the ceramic remains of the ancient trade routes up to the remnants of ships and airplanes from the two World Wars and the shipwrecks of refugees that try to reach the European coast, escaping from war and the poverty, to the enormous quantity of debris resting in the European waters as a result of the modern lifestyle and economic activity (shipping, tourism, yachting etc.). The evolution of European history up to the modern days, creates time capsules that narrate unique stories of trade, war, migration, degradation of marine environment (incl. cultural and natural heritage) from human intervention etc.
