Following the triumphant return of the Philippines to the Venice Biennale after 51 years, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) in partnership with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Office of Senator Loren Legarda announces an OPEN CALL FOR CURATORIAL PROPOSALS for the Philippine participation in the 57th Venice Biennale scheduled to open in May 2017. As a result of the country’s notable return, la Biennale di Venezia has granted the Philippines its request to mount the Philippine Pavilion at the Arsenale, the historic exhibition space of the Venice Biennale art platform.
The CALL is open to all curators and contemporary Filipino artists residing in the Philippines and abroad. Submitted proposals will be thoroughly reviewed and deliberated on by an esteemed panel of judges in the field of contemporary art. The panel of judges will select only ONE curatorial proposal. The selected proposal will be mounted at the Philippine Pavilion and will officially represent the Philippines in the 57th Biennale Arte of la Biennale di Venezia under the directorship of Christine Macel.
On National Participation
Only one project is recognized by la Biennale for each participating country. Thus, the formal invitation to participate is coursed through the highest concerned government agency of a country, which in turn initiates a distinct process of selecting and realizing a proposal for the country pavilion. The exhibition that officially represents a country will be recognized in all the materials produced by la Biennale di Venezia, particularly the catalogue, as the only participation of the country.
