art.homes is an art project which – under the motto of friendship – aims at
promoting young artists from Munich and Istanbul.
Ten artists from Munich and ten from Istanbul will meet and be paired up to
share and make use of 10 apartments in Istanbul (2010) and in Munich
(2011). The artists are supposed to respond to the specific spatial situation
of each apartment and work there experimentally, so that everyday homes
will be transformed into art laboratories. Their art-in-progress will also be
accessible to the public for the duration of 10 days. Further to the artistic
work itself, the development of friendships between the artist pairs
constitutes an essential aspect of this project, as this may provide
perspectives for their further collaboration..

Mehmet Dayi wants to bring art to port-a-potties - a conversation
about the importance of curators for artists
Bring art to unusual places - that is the idea behind many of the projects realized
by Mehmet Dayi. For example, he has organized the exhibition "Zimmer frei -
room available" in Hotel Mariandl for the last twelve years as part of his job with
the City of Munich's Department for Culture. In 2011, working as an independent
curator for the project "Art Homes," he brought art into private flats in Munich
and Istanbul. Currently, he is planning his next independent project: with "Nimm
mich mit - take me along," ten curators and ten artists will present their art in ten
European cities - in motorhomes. The long journey is slated to begin in 2014, but
as a prelude Dayi wants to implement an unusual idea this coming (2013) in
Munich: exhibit art in mobile port-a-potties.

More than any other art form, the visual arts have developed and expanded in
various directions. Traditional museum-like presentations are no longer
appropriate for many of these new forms. New innovative presentation forms are
needed. The young curators and artists selected for “nimm mich mit” will be
equipped and prepared accordingly. The promotion of upcoming artists is an
important driver of further innovation in contemporary art. But it is equally
important to provide support for emerging curators as well.

The project takes place in the following cities
Munich / Genoa / Kosice / Graz / Zagreb / Rotterdam / Sarajevo
The motorhomes will set up in central public spaces in each of these cities
to form a temporary artist village. Every time the exhibitions will be
reconceived anew, taking inspiration from the particularities of each city. In
the following ten days, city residents will then have the opportunity to visit
the art caravan and see the works created in each motorhome.

Call for young curators and artists
10
emerging curators from
10
European cities take
10
young artists on a trip
We invite young curators to apply together with an artist of their choice from
their city. Each of the ten selected curators will then be paired with one of the
ten selected artists, a different artist for each city to be visited. Each of these
pairs will share a motorhome, which will be transformed by the artist. The
convoy of ten motorhomes will travel to each participating city and set up a
temporary “trailer park” in a public place. There, the artists will have a week
to create their works in the motorhomes, which will then be presented to the
public for a period of ten days. For the following city, each curator will be
paired with another artist and the process of transforming the motorhomes
will begin anew.
The official call for artists follows in the coming months.
