Hafnarborg's Autumn Exhibition 2023 – Call for proposals
As in previous years, curators have the opportunity to submit proposals for next year's autumn exhibition in Port city. The autumn exhibition series began in 2011, but to date twelve exhibitions have been selected from a large number of submissions by curators with diverse backgrounds and experience. This year's Hafnarborg autumn exhibition, flows in – flows out, curated by Sigrún Ölba Sigurðardóttir, who was selected in the same way from the proposals received last year, and the exhibition will be opened on 10 September.
The purpose of inviting submissions is to have the opportunity to select a curator or curatorial team for collaboration who presents an interesting exhibition proposal, as well as to provide a platform for emerging curators to present their ideas. Early-career curators are particularly encouraged to apply. Indeed, it has proven that there is every reason to maintain such a project, as it has resulted in diverse exhibitions that have attracted attention and had good attendance.
Proposals are invited for group exhibitions where the theme, working method and/or other ideas connect the artists' works. However, exhibitions that involve an analysis of, or a special perspective on, the work of a specific artist will also be considered. Proposals for exhibitions of contemporary artists' work and for exhibitions involving historical analysis are equally considered. The Art Council of Hafnarborg then reviews the applications and selects the winning proposal in consultation with the Director.
The deadline for submitting proposals is Sunday, 18th September.
All proposals should be sent to the email address hafnarborg@hafnarfjordur.is, marked „Autumn Exhibition 2023“. Subsequently, an acknowledgement of receipt will be sent. However, if this is not received, applicants are asked to contact 585 5790. All applicants will then be informed whether or not their proposal has been successful. All decisions will be sent by email.
Further information on implementation and procedures can be found on the Hafnarborg website.
Further information is available from the Hafnarborg office on 585-5790.
