International Sculpture Symposium in Canada

Beauce Art and the city of Saint-Georges, Canada, are organizing an International Sculpture Symposium that will be held in 2019.
The duration of the symposium is 18 days, installation included in the period. The artists promise to do their work on site on time. The artists agree to interact and exchange ideas with visitors while making their work. The work must be stable and safe. 10 artists will be selected in order to create 10 sculptures during the symposium.

Theme for 2019

The International of Sculpture organizes a symposium focusing on art and nature. The theme, which is the theoretical basis for the realization of the works, will explore the natural impulses of our narcissistic beauties in drifts and the visual inclusive delights related thereto. The mantra of living together fantasized by nature is an elegant way to clear us of our individual difficulty in maintaining stable relationships with our loved ones. The coexistence of the sweetness of life in nature is sometimes short-circuited by the fluidity and immediacy of the delights of our narcissistic, planetary, interconnected solitudes. With instagram-clicks and multiple profiles flush frenetic "likes", we find ourselves alone together life size.

The museum site of 2019 is facing "Les Pères Nature" in Saint-Georges and the installation of sculptures will be along the Chaudière River between the footbridge facing the Lacroix-Dutil Sports Center and the inflatable dam, east side, on a half-wild strip of land like a migration land between drift and nature's delight. Playful, refreshing, open to all interpretations and to all audiences (children and adults), who will visit the site, the sculptures will become an essential landmark and will bring art and nature together.

Organization will provide 5000$ CAN plus transportation, food and accommodation.
