| eva International Biennial of Visual Art, Limerick City, Ireland 19 May–12 August 2012 Curated by Annie Fletcher Open call for proposals Deadline: 31 January 2012 eva International (formerly ev+a) is pleased to announce that the international open call for proposals is now open. 'Everywhere we look and everything we read right now seems to tell us we are at a new juncture. We are at an unprecedented moment of change – whether teetering on the edge of a financial precipice, or witnessing extraordinary new articulations of protest. This year eva International will attempt to tap into this feeling of imminence by understanding how artists define and explain the status quo in relation to global events. What are we on the verge of? How do artists envisage what is to come and what is to be done?' Annie Fletcher, Curator of eva International 2012. eva International and Annie Fletcher would like to invite artists from all over the world to propose new or existing works for inclusion in eva International 2012. Proposals can be made in any medium and selected artists will be supported to produce new or show existing works in Limerick City, Ireland from 19 May – 12 August 2012. Proposals should be made through the online submission process. Artists can make up to 2 proposals and there is a submission fee of €20 for 1 proposal or €30 for 2 proposals. Supporting materials can either be uploaded through the online submission process, sent by post to Limerick City Gallery of Art, or delivered by hand to Limerick City Gallery of Art or Fire Station Artists' Studios, Dublin. Deadline: 31 January 2012. Please see www.eva.ie/open-call or contact info@eva.ie for further information.

How sad that a BIENNIAL needs the money of the unpicked artists in order to fund its own display.
