1a space aims to provide young and novice curators and artists with a platform and resources for conceptual and experimental art projects. The New Talents in Contemporary Art initiative supports local and international artists with curatorial guidance, training and advice to help them implement your artistic ideas. To facilitate dialogue and exchange of ideas at the regional and international levels, the project is divided into two parts. The deadline for the first part: July 28, 2019!

Part 1: Open Call for Artists/Curators (Asia/Single Belt and One Way countries)
