    Young curators season 2013

    Open call
    Dedicated to the emergence of the newest forms of contemporary art as it is, the Palais de Tokyo sees participating in the renewal of the ecosystem of art as part of its remit. This is why it undertakes to seek out and support new players, and new directions. Thus in the summer of 2013 the Palais de Tokyo is entrusting its entire program 
    schedule to young curators. Selected on the basis of the proposals they submit, the winners will bear witness to the perpetual reinvention of the issues involved in 
    curating an exhibition, their scouting talent, and their ability to dream up new ways of  relating to art. This event is likewise intended to demonstrate the dynamism of Paris  and the surrounding area as part of a joint initiative involving a great many partners  and institutions.

    The proposed project must clearly demonstrate innovative thinking about exhibition formats.

The selection will be made primarily on the basis of the inventiveness of the project, its curatorial boldness, and its relevance in the current 
    field of creative work. Applicants can indicate a preference as regards the typology of space best suited to their proposal. Applicants can be curators and/or artists.
