*7th Mercosur Biennial:
Grito e Escuta / Screaming and Hearing*

*Open Call for Artists' Submissions for
PROJETÁVEIS/ PROJECTABLES/ PROYECTABLES*




We invite artists from around the world to present projects for the
exhibition *Projetáveis [Projectables]*, one of the seven exhibitions in the
7th Mercosur Biennial, to take place at the Santander Cultural in Porto
Alegre, Brazil, from October 16 to November 29, 2009.

Conceived by artist Roberto Jacoby, this chapter of the Biennial sets out to
explore the materialization and specific localization of projects that,
regardless of geographical borders or ultimate supports, use the world wide
web as their primary channel.

*Proyectables* are *bytes + atoms,* hybrid forms that will travel on the
Internet to later be downloaded or transmitted in real time through
streaming and, in turn, be installed in one of the exhibitions of the
Biennial.

The projects may be *visual* (photographs, images, slideshows, shadows,
videos, short, medium or feature-length films, animations,
video-installations, flashes), *sound* or *performative* (VJ and DJ,
performances, conferences) in nature, or make use of other media (websites,
interactive games), etc.

These projects must be "projectable" which means that it must be possible to
project them onto monitors, canvases and/or objects in contexts specifically
designed as part of the work itself.

Contemporary speech is imbued by the word "project" ("project","projection",
"projectile"). Its strict etymological meaning, "to launch forward,"
illuminates the vast field of meaning under which *Projectables* operate:

- To plan, pre-figure, imagine, design, conceive an idea, consider a future.
- To transfer from one sphere to another, attribute to one person traits of
another, extend into space, time and society.
- To represent a body on a flat surface, to map.
- To emit a sentiment, make one's voice heard, communicate vividly, make
known.
- To reflect an image on a surface, send rays of light onto something, make
a figure visible by means of light.


*Submissions* will be received from *May 22 to July 10, 2009.* *Guidelines
are available at* http://www.bienalmercosul.art.br/projetaveis

in keeping with its practice of integrating and communicating the
