OPEN CALL FOR EMBASSY OF THE ARTS EXHIBITION 2013

OPEN CALL FOR EMBASSY OF THE ARTS 2013 PROGRAM:

The Austro Sino Arts Program is celebrating its 5th anniversary of artistic activities in 2013 and will in cooperation with the Embassy of the Arts curate a public art tour through China with follow up exhibitions.

In China, art in public space is hardly known besides the display of history related objects, patriotic sculptures and monuments. Contemporary art rarely leaves galleries or museums whereas, in the West, art in public space is a common form of expression. We claim the right for the artist to place art into public spaces that are dominated by architects and advertisers.

In 2012 ASAP moved in between Beijing to Ningbo with the work of 20 artists, which were imbedded in various public and private locations.
