About Competition
The Cultural Association MoCA announces the outdoor sculpture competition titled "ScoglieraViva. Sculpting the Sea" on behalf of the Municipality of Caorle.
This competition is aimed at enhancing the town of Caorle and especially the cliff dividing the Adriatic sea from the town center. The contest, now in its 19th edition, aims to enrich Caorle’s heritage by transforming the cliff into a veritable open-air contemporary art gallery, whose changes will be given by time and natural agents. The purpose of this sculpture competition is to further enrich "ScoglieraViva. Sculpting the Sea" through the creation of works of art carved on the large rocks of Euganean trachyte posed to defend the town and curb the waves of the sea.
The theme is free. Each artist can choose the subject and the theme to be proposed for the enhancement of the cliff "ScoglieraViva. Sculpting the Sea" in Caorle considering that the winning artists will have to sculpt the proposed work directly on the Euganean trachyte rocks and that each sculpture can occupy a surface of about 1 - 2 square meters.
Terms of participation:
Each artist can present his/her own project for a work to be carved on the cliff of Caorle. The project must be accompanied by at least 1 sketch in scale and a descriptive text that specifies the intervention techniques on the trachyte boulders and the meaning of the work. The artist’s curriculum vitae and a portfolio of additional works are also required.
The selection of the submitted projects will be made by an Awarding Jury consisting of prestigious names in the Contemporary Art scene.
The jury will select the 3 winning artists who will have to implement the project submitted in the town of Caorle during the event "Scogliera Viva. Sculpting the Sea". The time to complete the work is 9 days, from 21 June to 30 June 2018.
