                                                         Call for curatorial proposals                       Deadline July 1, 2007         LabforCulture.org is the essential online tool for everyone involved in  arts and culture who creates, collaborates, shares and produces across  borders in Europe. This interactive web platform was launched in 2006  to encourage dialogue, networking and collaboration across physical,  cultural and imaginative borders across 48 countries in the broader  Europe. Initiated by the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) and jointly  developed and supported by many of Europe's leading cultural  organisations, LabforCulture offers a wealth of essential information,  debate and research - including all the latest news, vital funding  tips, blogs and a vast searchable database of cultural organisations  operating from Rome to Reykjavík. 

 LabforCulture.org will celebrate its first anniversary  in the summer of 2007 and in this context we are pleased to announce a  call for an experienced media art curator or curatorial collaboration  to conceptualise and manage an online presentation of specially  commissioned artworks, for presentation in early 2008.         Call for proposals         This is an open call  to Europe-based curators to propose a creative concept for the  LabforCulture anniversary project, be responsible for the ultimate  selection of artworks and critically reflect on the project throughout  its duration and after its end. The concept and commissioned artworks  should address, challenge and rethink issues such as cross border  dialogue, cultural intersections, crossings or networks, in the context  of LabforCulture and cultural cooperation in the broader Europe. The  curatorial proposal will contextualise and document the work in  relation to the scope, content and technological framework of
  LabforCulture.org.         Curatorial profile                       The selected curator/s should:                
     have demonstrated experience in either curating Net Art and/or artists  who use the internet as integral to their practice.

            have demonstrated cultural project management experience                 
            demonstrate their ability to write about and critically evaluate the presented works
