ABOUT THE GIBRALTAR POINT INTERNATIONAL ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM
The Gibraltar Point Residency transcends political, aesthetic and geographic

ARTISTS AGAINST WAR !

Dear friend,

We're coming up to year's end and the holiday season is upon us. But while many of us celebrate, the prospects for 2007 are not bright. In Darfur the bloodshed goes on unabated; in the Gaza Strip a shaky cease-fire is in force, but the killing hasn't stopped; in Lebanon civil conflict threatens at any moment to slide into open violence.

In this bleak outlook, it is up to us as artists to look beyond our immediate concerns and take a broader view of our tormented world. As the cannons continue to roar, the Muses must not remain silent ! Our creativity must protest at death and destruction !

Curator of Contemporary Art, Tate Britain
Triennial exhibition 2009

http://www.tate.org.uk

Who’s making a difference in contemporary British art today? Who’s influencing others? And how do you make sense of it? Taking up a prominent new, senior role within the Tate Britain team, you’ll answer these questions with authority, intellectual depth and visionary flair, and have a highly visible impact at the heart of Tate. As the Curator of the 2009 Triennial exhibition, you’ll frame the zeitgeist in a thought-provoking yet accessible way to create an agenda-setting show of national and international significance. For Tate’s diverse public audience, it will be a show to remember. Alongside the Triennial, your curatorial acumen will be crucial in shaping the way in which Tate Britain represents contemporary art as it happens.
