The 16th Tallinn Print Triennial „Literacy / Illiteracy“

Curator Maria Kjær Themsen (Denmark)
February – May 2014
Kumu Art Museum 5th  floor, Tallin
The 16th Tallinn Print Triennial „Literacy / Illiteracy“, curated by Maria Kjaer Themsen, presents      works    of   visual   art  that   are  produced       using    mechanical      or   digital reproduction or printing technologies, produced between 2011 and 2013 on the topic of „Literacy / Illiteracy“. Each applicant is asked to write additionally 5-10 lines about how their work is related to the concept of the Triennial. We expect individual works or series (measurements and number is not limited) that would not cover more than 10 sq m of wall space. The selected artist from the open-call will be part of the 16th Tallinn Print Triennial „Literacy / Illiteracy“
The selection of works consists of two phases:

• Phase A – Sending digital material. Deadline: 22.07.2013

Images sent by e-mail (JPEG/PDF, 72 dpi, max size 2M) should be sent together with completed   entry   form to   the   e-mail   address: tallinn@triennial.ee.
Artists selected for Phase B are asked to send later (individual e-mails will be sent to the selected artists) high resolution images for printing the catalogue (TIFF or JPEG, 300     dpi). We     accept     only   digitally  sent    images     (via Dropbox,     YouSend It      or WeTransfer etc. to the e-mail: tallinn@triennial.ee).
The curator of the  16th  Tallinn Print Triennial and the Tallinn Print Triennial team will select artists from Phase A for Phase B.

• Phase B  –  Selected      artists.

Deadline  will     be  confirmed     and   sent   to  all selected artists.

Art works must reach Tallinn by 10th January 2014. Artists selected for Phase B should send their works (at their own cost) together with completed entry form to the address specified in the e-mail individually sent to each selected artist. However, the designer of the exhibition together with the organizers of the Triennial has the right to exclude some works from exhibiting due to unforeseen circumstances   (e.g.   the   original   of   the   work doesn’t   coincide   with   the   image   of the preview photo, lack of space etc.).

Sending artworks

We suggest using strong rolls for packing. Prints must be sent unframed and without mounts. Signing the entry form means that the artist accepts the regulations. If the works do not arrive on time, the artist cannot take part in the Triennial. 3-dimensional works should be packed in such a way that the organisers could return them in the same packing. Any assembly instructions should be sent with the work.

General Information

The organisers reserve the right to photograph or otherwise reproduce the works for the purpose of publicising and recording the Triennial. While all precautions will be taken in the handling of the works, the organisers take no   responsibility   for  any   damage to   the   prints   as   the   result   of   events  beyond   their control     or  during    transportation.     If  artists   need    a  guarantee,  they       should     make arrangements with their own insurance agency.
