CALLING FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
TRANSART is a series of annual public art commissioning initiatives that aim to integrate temporary artwork into the urban fabric of the everyday.
The City of Perth is seeking Expressions of Interest for two separate temporary public art installations in the City of Perth.
The budget for each TRANSART Commissioning project is $15,000. This budget must cover all costs associated with the practical delivery and de-mount of the installation including:
- research and design development;
- Administration and project meeting time;
- fabrication, material and labour;
- installation, maintenance and de-mount;
- written Artist Statement (100 words) and Biography (100 words)
The City of Perth Arts and Culture Policy encourages and fosters creativity, innovation and excellence by providing assistance to local arts and cultural activities through initiatives such as TRANSART.
The fundamental vision for TRANSART is that artists consider a project that fulfils, as much as possible, their own artistic vision in relation to the city. All art forms are eligible for consideration.
The commission, without a theme or specific agenda, is intended to engage with an extremely broad and constantly shifting audience and location. The ambition of any artists selected for this commission should be to achieve maximum impact with minimum risk (to the work, surroundings and public).
The work can be created with no limitation on the location, other than it should be within the central Perth area and, that its placement and construction complies with all relevant regulations and does not negatively impact on business and other users in the immediate vicinity.
