> The ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany is happy to
> announce ten international fellowships, supported by the Fritz Thyssen
> Foundation in conjunction with the research project GAM - Global Art
> and the Museum. The scholarships are meant to facilitate participation
> in an international seminar to be directed by Hans Belting and guests.
> Seminar participants will analyze the situation of art museums, the
> art market, and art criticism under the spell of globalization. The
> seminar will take place from June 21 to July 1, 2009 in Bad Homburg
> and Karlsruhe and will also include excursions to art institutions.
> The seminar language will be English.
>
> The seminar
> The seminar objective is to bring together a global group of art
> experts who work in art institutions or other areas of contemporary
> art. It provides opportunity for knowledge sharing and cooperation
> with the project GAM at ZKM in order to create a network among the
> participants. The project GAM was originally initiated by Hans Belting
> and Peter Weibel for the study of the global turn in contemporary art
> production. It investigates the newly emerging art world where the
> modern art concept and the hegemony of western art are in doubt. The
> seminar encourages the discussion of topics such as the museum
> situation for contemporary art, new developments on the art market,
> and the emergence of new audiences. It intends to place an emphasis on
> art institutions which are important agencies for cultural or national
> art policy. Case studies are welcome in order to explain the present
> situation in different territories of global art.
>
> Aplication
> The fellowships will cover travel expenses and accommodation for up
> to two weeks in Germany, plus a grant of EUR 1,200.-- for individual
> research in Europe. They are intended for art experts and art curators
> with a publication record. Applicants will be expected to present a
> significant paper on one of the seminar topics, which will then be
> published in the GAM book series of the ZKM. Applications must include
> a proposal for a paper to be written in English, a CV, and a
> description of the candidate's activities or research. The deadline
> for the application is November 30, 2008. Fellows will be notified by
> early January 2009.
