Alert
Vacancy
Background:
The OSCE Presence in Albania (hereinafter ‘the Presence’) in cooperation with the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Arts in Tirana are organizing a Head of Presence Fund “Visual Arts Contest”, focusing on “Corruption” to take place in spring 2019. Students from the faculty will be encouraged to develop – with the guidance of curators from the Faculty – art works addressing this topic. Good products will be exhibited at the Fine Arts Gallery (Fakulteti i Arteve te Bukura – FAB) in Tirana during the opening exhibition and for two weeks following the opening. The two best works will each receive a prize. A catalogue will be printed featuring the compilation of student submissions.
The contest aims at encouraging students to reflect and penetrate intellectually and with artistic means on the theme of “Corruption”. This activity should be considered as a part of a broader preventive effort by OSCE to tackle the phenomenon by stimulating debate about this challenge. The means of visual art can provide a contribution to the government efforts and priorities entitled “Corruption” by presenting a student’s approach to raise public awareness and inspire institutional reaction against these phenomena in Albania. The winning Art works produced through this contest can also provide effective imagery related to corruption that the Presence will be able to use in relevant future campaigns, online or otherwise. In this context the Presence will use the service of one Student Co-ordinator - who will co-ordinate the students of the University of Arts in Tirana during the preparation of their works until the finalisation and execution of the exhibition.
