Curtain Callers is a new commission with distinguished Swedish artist Ann-Sofi Sidén and the renowned American composer Jonathan Bepler. The project is examining the contemporary institutional theatre from within. By focusing at the very core of fiction building and its ongoing processes, the work traces the fleeting moment of release in the rehearsed ritual between the audience and the stage. A collaboration with Göteborg International Film Festival In Gothenburg, MAP are delighted to be able to show the work in collaboration with Göteborg International Film Festival. The arrangement is part of an ongoing collaboration between Göteborg International Film Festival and Mobile Art Production, where the ambition is to highlight interesting connections between art and film and to make these areas more accessible to our audience. The project is presented as a film Curtain Callers and a multi-channel video installation Curtain Callers (entracte). Both works are produced by MAP, Mobile Art Production, and have been recorded at The Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. Curtain Callers was shown in Stockholm in the end of 2011. |

MAP is a mobile art producer that invites artists to produce and exhibit unique art projects. In dialogue with the artists MAP locates the most suitable situation, moment, and place for each project. MAP develops new exhibition forms for contemporary art, and is an alternative to traditional art institutions with permanent gallery spaces. As a flexible and continuous organisation, that can learn from its experiences, MAP seeks to create unique projects where there is room for experimentation and time for the development of new ideas. MAP is supported by Framtidens Kultur. The individual projects are produced together with various collaborators and sponsors. |

Mobile Art Production expands to Gothenburg From 2011, MAP, Mobile Art Production, will expand to also present exhibitions in both Stockholm and Gothenburg. This has been made possible through a three-year donation from the real estate company Wallenstam. Inspired by examples in New York and London, Mobile Art Production has, since the beginning four years ago, developed new ways of displaying contemporary art.
