Call for proposals : self-initiated projects
We are now accepting applications for projects proposed to take place
in Gothenburg, Minneapolis, or San Francisco between April 2004 and
December 2005. Applications are due March 20, 2004, and may be sent at
any time before that date. This summer we will make another call for
entries, which will include other cities. Applications should be made
by individuals or collaborative groups.
Hostel exists in order to support the research and production of new
work. We are interested especially in relational and public artwork-
artwork outside of gallery spaces. Our focus is on assisting emerging
artists in the production of new work in/for cities other than their
own. We hope to enable artists to produce new work and to build
relationships as they do so.
Hostel works with an international network of curators to present new
work. You may apply for numerous types of assistance; contacting us
before you send your proposal is the best way to find out what kinds of
assistance we may be able to provide. Typically, curators assist
artists by providing them with the assistance they need to research and
execute their work; curators find housing for artists or execute
projects remotely for artists who do not wish to travel.

Call for proposals : screensavers and games.
In December 2004 Hostel will present a series of artists' screensavers
and games for mobile telephones.
Chosen artists will be paired with programmers who will assist them in
realizing their projects. The project will be launched publicly with a
series of advertisements similar to those promoting other downloadable
screensavers, games, and ringtones. The screensavers and games will be
available for free download for GSM telephones.
Artists' projects will be chosen on the basis of content. Artists will
receive free programming assistance if they wish, though artists who
wish to do their own computing are of course eligible. Already
completed projects may be included in our launch. Pending funding,
artists will receive a small honorarium for their participation.
