The future of the biennial:experimental places to reinvent political space?04.11.2013 The upcoming issue of Seismopolite Journal of Art and Politics will discuss the political future of the contemporary art biennial.
How can biennials become experimental «sites» to rethink the relationship between art and politics, without lending themselves too easily to the confines of the contemporary art market and neoliberal political geography? While biennials have been criticized for subjecting themselves to urban/ regional marketing strategies, they have also been defended as valuable places for the formation of new alliances among art scenes of the ‘periphery’, that are today steadily changing the global art map. Does this development indicate a future potential of biennials to rewrite the history, political geography and epistemology of places and regions, and to do so from standpoints that resist annexation by historical master narratives, neoliberal political geography as well as the demands and languages of the global contemporary art market? Or do we need to look entirely outside the biennial system for such standpoints to be realized in a consequential way?
For our next issue we welcome reviews of biennials worldwide as well as essays and interviews that address these questions through a high variety of possible angles. We accept submissions continuously, but to make sure you are considered for the upcoming issue, please send your proposal, CV and samples of earlier work to submissions@seismopolite.com within November 21, 2013.

Statement on the current situation in Turkey19.07.2013 5th July 2013
At this moment, when in several countries around the Mediterranean people’s basic rights to associate, protest, and be fully represented are systematically oppressed, the Roberto Cimetta Fund stands firmly in support of our fellow artists and citizens in these countries at the same time as we strongly condemn the use of brutal force against protesters in all “freedom” squares around the world.
Whether people are rising up against the hegemony of financial and political institutions, or demanding full democratic representation, or where the struggle for social and political justice continues, or where an illegal occupation persists for so many years, the Roberto Cimetta Fund, its Board of Directors, Committee of experts, staff, and grantees reiterate their firm support for the right to human dignity, political and social justice, and freedom of expression as inalienable rights that should be upheld and protected by and for the people.

Open consultation - Improving procedures for obtaining short-stay ‘Schengen’ visas02.04.2013 Make your voice heard before the 17 June 2013!
The Commission is reviewing the procedures for issuing these visas and would like to hear your views on your experience. The idea is to modernise the policy and your input via this public consultation will contribute to make the right changes.
The legislation ( Regulation No 810/2009 Visa Code ) on issuing short-stay visas for travel in the Schengen area (the ‘Visa Code’) has now been in force for three years. Now the Commission wants to assess whether the legislation has achieved its objectives. Building on this evaluation, the Commission plans to propose amendments to revise the Visa Code and to further develop and modernise the common visa policy. Among the aims of this review are to ensure that EU visa policy fosters economic growth and cultural exchange by facilitating the process for legitimate travellers to the EU, such as business people, tourists, students and young people, while ensuring a high level of security for the EU. That is why the Commission wants to hear from the main ‘users’ of the common visa policy: individuals, interest groups, advocacy groups and professional organisations. We want to hear from as broad a range of users as possible, as it is important to get views and input from all stakeholders.

We are launching the second 2013 open call for travel grants from 1st to 31st March 2013. Artists and cultural operators living and working in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa can apply in Arabic, English or French. Priority is given to mobility from the South and East of these regions.
The General Fund is open to all requests for travel grants that respect the eligibility criteria of RCF, whatever the destination of travel, the artistic discipline or the direction of mobility. The General Fund functions on an annual basis which means that candidates can apply for the March session and to the other sessions in June and September depending on the funding available.
Some grants for travel from the South on the General Fund are provided by the European Union as part of the Istikshaf programme. The Conseil Général des Bouches du Rhône and Marseille-Provence 2013 provide funding on two specific funding lines. Details concerning these funding lines are provided on the Cimetta Fund website www.cimettafund.org. The following general criteria of RCF apply to all of these funds. 1) The aim of your trip must directly or indirectly show potential for a constructive and long-term impact on the arts sector in the Mediterranean basin. This means that your travel must contribute to your own capacity building, which in turn can be shared in a “networking” fashion that will benefit connecting artists and operators in your own country or region so as to maintain, renew and develop contemporary arts. 2) New criteria: Your trip can take place as soon as the call opens but in this case you run the risk of buying your ticket without knowing if the application is successful or not. 3) Applicant’s profile - No nationality or age criteria: Applicant lives or works in the Euro-Mediterranean region. - Profession: performers, creators, teachers, cultural organisers, administrators, project leaders. - Financial means: applicants who are unable to find the financial resources themselves. 4) Applications must be made by individuals not organisations. Only 3 members of a group can apply for a grant concerning the same project. A grant holder can only reapply twice. Applicants must choose the cheapest form of transport and can only apply for one international return travel ticket and visa costs (local transport, per diems and accommodation costs are not reimbursed). The results are announced as follows: Second session: 1st June 2013 (Deadline for receiving applications: 31/03/2013) Third session: 1st September 2013 (Deadline for receiving applications: 30/06/2013) Fourth session: 1st December 2013 (Deadline for receiving applications: 30/09/2013) If you want to apply, please visit the Roberto Cimetta Fund’s website and fill in the contact form on the website www.cimettafund.org.

Mobility impact assessment RCF08.02.2013 RCF is pleased to publish an assessment on the impact of mobility.
This assessment is a necessary follow-up, in the collaboration we have undertaken with regional and local partners, to define strategies for transnational artistic mobility. Our work aims to identify positive effects of travel and consequences in the nature and diversity of cultural and artistic products or offers. The RCF decided to send a questionnaire to the grantees of the Fund in order to identify the concrete output of their travel and their opinions on mobility in the euro- middle east- north african region. The questionnaire was drafted together with Inga Farina Petzhold from the University of Hildeshiem in Germany and Matina Magkou, PhD student working with Cristina Ortega Nuere at the Institute of Leisure Studies, University of Bilbao, Spain. The questionnaire was sent to all the grantees of the Fund in October (around 500 email addresses). We registered the reception of this questionnaire in 18 countries such as Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey, Portugal, Serbia, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Croatia, United Kingdom and Spain. The 108 answers were received in November and December 2012. A majority of the respondents mentioned that their travel grant led to a better integration in the artistic and cultural field and to concrete realizations (exhibitions, screenings, concerts, performances, touring, publications). The main motive for travelling was to set up or continue artistic projects. The impact of the travel grant is realised on a short term period as 57,5% of the respondents realised that their travel had had a positive impact on their work either during or right after their travel. 96% of the respondents are still in touch with their host and 67% of them have returned or have concrete plans to return to the hosting countries for professional reasons. Finally, 45% of the respondents engage in mobility practices in the euro-middle east-north african region for professional reasons more than once a year.
This report does not seek to be an overall evaluation nor to reflect the opinions of all grantees. It is the first step of « a work in progress » that the RCF will continue in the next months. |

Call for texts and artistic projects: Art & Copyright02.01.2013 Deadline: February 10, 2013 To mark the publication of issue # 50, the digital journal Interartive will publish a special issue devoted to various aspects of the current discussion about Art & Copyright. We invite theorists, critics, curators and artists who work on the subject to participate. Due to the speed at which new technologies are developed and the ease of hacking and sharing content on the web, the status of copyright has been threatened considerably. However, contemporary thinking about copyright is yet to be developed at the same speed as the means and practices that enable it. Therefore, it seems appropriate to launch a broad discussion that evokes the significant changes in the ways of thinking about authorship and rights, as well as the different ways of protecting works without putting a stop to the technological advantages of diffusion. Furthermore, although nowadays copyright is almost always linked to the digital and commercial sectors, it also has a historical and creative dimension. For example, the subject of copy has been a constant theme in the field of art; each age has had their respective position, causing reactions and dialogues that have challenged the ways of understanding the issue and allow us to contextualize the current debate. Proposals will be accepted to consider one or more of the following topics, among others: - Theory, Practice and Criticism of copyright in the digital age Texts should be around 800 to 3000 words: Format Guidelines (pdf) The works and art projects will be published in the form of Virtual Gallery (images and short text): Format Guidelines (pdf) Proposals should be submitted until February 10, 2013, by mail at: info@interartive.org The 50th issue of Interartive will be published at the end of March 2013.

Exchange Platform مدارات - MADARAT03.12.2012 Exchange Platform مدارات - MADARAT - 20th – 22nd November 2012 Beirut, Lebanon
The Roberto Cimetta Fund organised the “Madarat - platform for exchange” on 20th and 21st November 2012 at the Institute français de Beyrouth. 55 artists, operators, journalists, institutional representatives, experts and Board members of RCF and regional members of the Istikshaf platform* from 21 countries (Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sudan, Tunisia, Turkey) took part. The two-day debate allowed for dialogue between engaged actors in the region and consolidated network building as an essential component to provide the quality conditions necessary to develop and sustain transnational arts and culture projects. Local operators in Beirut were able to share and compare their points of view with participants from other countries in the region and a speed-dating session allowed for individual interaction and project building. In the changing contexts both in Europe and the Arab world, new ways of working should develop to create networks that generate physical mobility as well as movement of ideas for the enrichment and sustainability of art practice. The Istikshaf Regional Policy Agenda was launched outlining the ways in which members of the Istikshaf platform can work together at local, regional, national and international levels to place mobility on national agendas, to fund mobility, to allow for the crossing of borders and to mobilise communities. RCF presented its first evaluation on the impact of its funding scheme for mobility. This evaluation highlighted the fact that individual mobility leads to a better integration into one’s art field/practice and that rapid concrete results were obtained such as follow-up projects, publications, performances, screening, press coverage, concerts and not only touring as one could more readily imagine. The report will be published beginning of 2013. RCF also presented its Charter of Ethics recently drafted by the Board of Directors in September 2012 in Amman, Jordan. Marietje Schaake, Member of the European Parliament, addressed a video message in which she outlined her views on cultural exchange, highlighting our common needs, during these difficult times, to focus on people to people contact and to find ways to unite us instead of enlarging differences. Representatives from European and Arab organisations such as the Arab Towns Organisation, Anna Lindh Foundation, EUNIC, Culture Action Europe, On the Move, Institut du Monde Arabe, MUCEM and Maribor - European Capital of Culture 2012 gave valuable inspiration and insight to the debate. RCF intends to further these opportunities for debate in other countries such as Bahreïn and Serbia in the near future. We would like to extend our gratitude to the French Institute in Beirut for hosting and supporting the event, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French Ministry of Culture and Communication for their support and contribution as well as the Institut français, partner of the event.

Interartive Magazine: Call for texts and artistic projects: Art & Mobility19.06.2013 Deadline: July, 15 2013
For the publication of issue #55, the digital journal InterArtive will publish in partnership with the Roberto Cimetta Fund a special issue dedicated to diverse aspects of the current discussion about Art & Mobility. We invite theorists, critics, curators and artists who work on the subject to participate.
Artistic practices and creativity are directly and closely linked to mobility. A great part of the art and architecture that we know would not have existed if it weren’t for the urge to travel, to discover, the need to go beyond the limits - territorial and intellectual - of the known.
To reflect on mobility today means to widen the perspective, to go beyond the concepts of travel, discovery and displacement; it calls for an analysis of the social, political, economic and cultural phenomena linked to it.
The practice of mobility can be thought of as a phenomenological experience where identity comes into contact with alterity, as a path of transformation where ideas, perceptions and preconceptions are questioned, as a value and as a conscious process of enrichment and of knowledge, and not just as a simple trip, or a simple displacement. Mobility presents multiple facets: it is directly related to the issue of diversity, exchange, experience and intercultural dialogue. At the same time, it makes us reflect on migration, exile and the obstacles faced when crossing borders. The objectives of this call are to reflect on a history of mobility, to go in depth in the processes of transformation of knowledge, culture and art in the practice of mobility and, above all, to think about mobility today, in a contemporary context. Proposals that consider one or more of the following topics, among others, will be accepted:
Texts should be around 800 to 3000 words: Format Guidelines (pdf) The works and art projects will be published in the form of Virtual Gallery (images and short text): Format Guidelines (pdf) Proposals should be submitted up until July 15, 2013, by mail at: info@interartive.org The 55th issue of Interartive will be published at the end of September 2013.

Artists' mobility and Schengen visas: a step forward11.01.2013 As a part of its advocacy activities for better conditions for the international mobility of artists and cultural professionals, On the Move (OTM) tackles visa issues: on this crucial theme we have developed a part of our Charter for a sustainable and responsible cultural mobility (soon online on this website) and we organise capacity building activities for our members, in particular a training workshop in November, 15th- 16th in Brussels devoted to Schengen visas. The results of this workshop form the core of this report. Although Schengen is not the only problematic area in the world, the workshop focused on it for different reasons. Firstly, most of OTM members are based in, and have relations with, the EU or neighbouring countries; in addition, the discussion on artists’ mobility and visas is on the agenda of the European Commission - DG EAC as a part of the Work Plan for Culture 2011-2014, and the DG Home Affairs is going to revise the EU Visa Code (in force since 2010) in 2013. The workshop gathered 9 OTM members and 19 selected external experts to discuss the situation of non-EU artists having to travel to the Schengen area and needing a visa. While acknowledging the improvements introduced with the EU visa code, the real-life problems pointed out by the – relatively small, but still significant – sample were discussed, and possible solutions in the short, medium and long term were commented. The meeting took place in an informal setting allowing exchange and debate between cultural organisations from EU and non-EU countries, representatives of the European Commission (DG EAC and DG Home) and of the Ministry of Culture and Communication, France. As the workshop Artists’ mobility and Schengen visas: a step forward was a constructive exchange among the participants about the problems faced by non-EU artists applying for a Schengen visa – and possible solutions –, so this report is a concise document presenting problems, explanations and concrete actions to undertake in order to help improve the conditions for mobile artists traveling across the Schengen borders. The report is meant in particular as a reference for cultural organisations and institutions based in the EU and inviting non-EU nationals for short periods, and for EU Member States and their representatives (at Embassies, Consulates), who are responsible for the way the visa procedures are handled and for the final decision taken on applications. Artists and cultural professionals can find in this report selected and concise information related to the Schengen visa process. Far from being a solution in itself, this report is a milestone in OTM’s concrete engagement on visa issues: On the Move aims to create a platform for dialogue between the cultural sector and the policy- and decision-making level (nationally, EU-wide and internationally), while taking into account the experiences of the cultural field and of other advocacy groups. Our work goes on: in the upcoming months, and in particular with the launch of our Charter for a sustainable and responsible cultural mobility, we will continue advocating for better conditions for artists and cultural professionals working across borders. As we like saying, mobility happens anyway: let’s make it happen better! To download the report click here |

RCF publishes its report07.12.2012 RCF) is pleased to publish the report on the seminar “International Artistic Mobility and Territorial Diplomacy» that took place in Guimarães, European Capital of Culture 2012 on 24th May last.
This document is the first step in discussing and identifying local and regional strategies to develop transnational artistic mobility. We hope to continue and enlarge this working process with local and regional authorities in Europe and the Arab world taking into account the impact of globalisation and the models of cooperation that could be possible and relevant in this context.
50 stakeholders (artists, cultural operators, local and regional representatives or institutions) from 8 Arab, 10 European countries shared their expertise on these complex issues.
At a time when geographical concepts are adapting to the new axes of global exchange and alliances are being formed at regional and local levels as a consequence of the building of Europe, RCF would like to reassert the need for a cultural partnership between Europe and the Arab world. Investing in artistic mobility is not only an individual moment of political responsibility but has long term spin-off effects on the appropriation of global cultural products, identity building and new forms of cultural expression that can be source of renewal in the country of residence as well as the country of origin.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the partners of this seminar, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Guimarães, European Capital of Culture 2012.
