MUU MAA Art Bus is an interactive experiential public event of meetings between artists and audiences. Audiences and artists will travel by bus, stopping along the way to view site-specific art that comes to being in the very moment and time where the audience and artists find themselves.
The purpose of the project is to make art interesting and accessible, to create a professionally crafted, rich and easily approachable art experience.
The project producer, Artists� Association MUU, will provide the general framework, while artists will be responsible for producing the content. We are searching for artists to bring or create a work of art along the route, or in the bus.
The selection criteria place a heavy emphasis on community aspects and accessibility. We will focus particularly on community art, performance, video and sound art from the general region of Southwest Finland (Varsinais-Suomi). Each artist will tailor a piece which will be realised by MUU in compliance with the concept. The artwork can also be finished or previously presented. All artists are welcome to submit proposals!
All matters pertaining to the realisation of the work (performers, venue, materials, schedules) are handled by the producer in collaboration with the artist. The producer will be in charge of publicity and marketing as well as all publishing and distribution generated by and associated with the project.
We are looking to engage about 5�8 artists for the project. They will receive 300 euro in artist fees per work (for each artist/group). The selections will be made by the MUU exhibition committee.
The first route of the MUU MAA Art Bus is Turku�Myn�m�ki�Uusikaupunki�Vehmaa�Kemi�nsaari�Somero�Turku.
