Your proposal does not need to provide a definitive answer to the research questions presented in the curatorial text. Nor does it need to illustrate the text literally.
Instead, we are interested in understanding how your practice enters into dialogue with the framework proposed by La Part Maudite / The Accursed Share.
The proposal should briefly explain:
The work, intervention, research, or artistic idea you would like to proposeThe medium(s) through which it would be developedIts practical requirements (if known)Its conceptual foundations.
How it relates to the themes, questions, tensions, or methodologies proposed in the curatorial text.
This relationship may be direct or indirect.
You may choose to engage with a specific concept, challenge the framework entirely, expand upon one of its questions, or propose an alternative reading of the research.
Some questions you may wish to consider include:
- Which aspect of the curatorial framework resonates most strongly with your practice?
- Does your work engage with excess, irrationality, eroticism, contradiction, grief, transgression, ancestral knowledge, or other themes explored in the text?
- Does your practice already operate through what could be understood as a counter-practice, counter-choreography, counter-sonic practice, or counter-visual environment?
- In what ways does your methodology depart from dominant expectations of productivity, rationality, efficiency, or control?
- Does your work attempt to access forms of knowledge, experience, memory, or sensation that are often marginalized, repressed, or considered excessive?
- What would it mean to approach your practice through the lens of the accursed share?
These questions are intended as prompts rather than requirements. We are interested in thoughtful engagement with the framework, not in arriving at a correct interpretation
