The proposal, in free format, should introduce the vision the artist proposes to realise at the Estonian pavilion of the Venice Biennale. Based on the proposals and portfolios submitted, an international jury will make a pre-selection of artists to meet for a longer discussion, after which the final selection will be made. During the selection process, participating artists are not required to develop the exhibition project or confirm the rest of the exhibition team.
The selected artist will develop an exhibition project based on the proposal, which will be developed into an exhibition at the Estonian pavilion together with the Estonian Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA). The exhibition team will be expanded as needed, according to the requirements of the project.
