TRAMUNTANart  2019.

Information:

Presentation and goals

The objective of this exhibition is to convert El Port de la Selva into a place of creativity where artists can develop their proposals related with the tramuntana wind.

The Town Council of El Port de la Selva is the organiser of the exhibition, by means of a working group formed by artists of different disciplines.

The theme of the exhibition, as in all its editions, is the tramuntana wind and the artists’ experiences of it: personal interpretations of any factor related with the tramuntana, how it acts, how it affects people and the surroundings.

Functioning

TRAMUNTANart has the participation of a guest artist, different each year, who takes charge of illustrating and promoting the image of that year’s TRAMUNTANart.

Priority is given to proposals of outdoor works, since the essence of TRAMUNTANart is the art experience in relation with the tramuntana wind. Being fully aware of the difficulty of exhibiting works created on certain supports, the organisation places at the artists’ disposal various indoor premises along with the possibility of selecting a location for special actions.

It is obligatory to make a reservation, stating the basic details of the artist and the work.

A selection will be made of all the works, and on May 10th each artist will be informed of whether or not their proposal has been selected.

Publication of the exhibition and the artists individually will be made on the social media (before the inauguration, every day we will promote the work of one artist) on the basis of the digital information provided (Internet addresses and links). A map will be created with the location of the works and the details of the artists; along with the map, an invitation will also be sent by e-mail to the artists in order for them to send it to anyone they may consider appropriate.

Assembly and disassembly of works

The artists may begin to assemble their pieces from 10:00 on Saturday June 1st. In the event of needing a particular assembly, please contact the organisation. Each artist is responsible for the assembly and disassembly of their work. The place occupied must be left in good conditions.

All the works must be assembled by 17:00 on Saturday June 1st.

The exhibition will be opened on Saturday June 1st at 19:00, with a circuit of all the works (it would be appropriate for each artist to be alongside their work), followed by a performance and a glass of cava for the artists and the interested public to exchange points of view, opinions and experiences.

On Sunday June 2nd an aperitif session will be held with the purpose of continuing to exchange experiences.

The works will be exhibited from Saturday June 1st until Sunday June 9th at 18:00. (If any artist wishes to recover their work on Sunday 3rd, they will have to notify this to the organisation previously). WE UNDERSTAND THAT ANY ARTISTS WHO HAVE NOT RECOVERED THEIR WORK BY JUNE 30TH HAVE RELINQUISHED THE WORK AND ASSIGN IT TO THE ORGANISATION.

Sales of works.

The displayed works cannot be removed from the exhibition until the end of the exhibition. There will be no economic remuneration for the artists’ participation. The works may be sold on the artist’s account, with no intervention by the organisation. Each artist may provide information, catalogues, etc., which they may leave at the information points.

It is planned to prepare a space for the sale of participants’ works at Tramuntanart 2019 on Saturday June 8th from 11:00 to 20:00.
