Call for entries: architectural concept: the pavilion of postcontemporary curating
CALL FOR ENTRIES
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT: THE PAVILION OF POSTCONTEMPORARY CURATING
----------------------------------------------------------
The skeletal remains of Sutton Scarsdale Hall continue to decay. A
dilapidated wreck of a structure, you enter at your own risk. This
decay needs to be resisted and Sutton Scarsdale needs to live again...
In the very heart of England, Sutton Scarsdale Hall is to become the
Pavilion of Postcontemporary Curating, a new international art
facility set in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, dedicated solely
to new curating.
The current hall is a perfect exhibition/performance space: lit from
above, with high walls, neutral floor. As a functioning work of
art/art centre, it should provide everything the contemporary curator
requires, and be able to evolve as those needs change... Importantly
it will facilitate new media production as well as old, it will have a
library, archive, research facilities, studios and accommodation as
well as a gallery dedicated to the history of the house.
It will be a base for new ways of looking at art and its production.
A sculpture, it will become part of the regional landscape and act as
a beacon to advanced ideas and art praxis in the regional and
international scenes.
With this call for entries, the Centre of Attention is seeking
proposals for the re-imagining of Sutton Scarsdale Hall, Derbyshire
into a pavilion of postcontemporary curating.
This call is open to architects, designers, artists, curators and
others. All ideas, gestural, utopian or pragmatic are welcome.
Proposals and concepts can be submitted as drawings, images or texts,
by email to [email protected]
