Deadline midnight 17 September

As in previous years, curators have the opportunity to submit proposals for next year's autumn exhibition at Hafnarborg. The autumn exhibition series began in 2011, and to date, thirteen exhibitions have been selected from a large number of submissions by curators with diverse backgrounds and experience. The aim of inviting submissions is to select a curator or curatorial team for collaboration who presents an interesting exhibition proposal, as well as providing a platform for emerging curators to present their ideas.

Proposals are invited for group exhibitions where the theme, working method or other ideas connect the artists' works. Exhibitions that involve an analysis or a perspective on the work of a specific artist are also considered. Exhibitions of works by contemporary artists and exhibitions involving historical analysis are equally considered.

The application process is in two parts, and the first part requests the following information:

  • A description of the project, with an emphasis on the concept behind the exhibition (maximum 1000 words).
  • Curator's CV(s).
  • Short CVs of the artist or artists, as well as others proposed to be part of the exhibition project.

Proposals are accepted by email at the following address: hafnarborg@hafnarfjordur.is but further information about the application process can be found Hafnarborg's website. The deadline for submitting proposals is midnight on Sunday, 17th September.
