| FACE Foundation of Arts for a Contemporary Europe Five European Foundations unite in favour of contemporary art |
| FACE founding members are non-profit foundations established by private collectors who have set up public spaces for the production and promotion of contemporary art. This new alliance aims at broadening and empowering the scope of their activities through ambitious international projects. FACE aims to promote international artists by supporting the production and exhibition of new works. In particular, FACE Partner Foundations aim to work towards: promoting contemporary art in Europe and the rest of the world; supporting artists; bringing an ever-growing public closer to contemporary art and culture; promoting the activities and the art collections of each partner foundation. With these aims, the Partner Foundations will particularly be able to: develop collaborations between the partner foundations and, in particular, exchange programmes between partner collections; produce contemporary art works; produce publications and catalogues; design joint promotional and advertising campaigns, public relation strategies, take part in contemporary art fairs; produce a periodical with analysis on contemporary art; produce and organise international exhibitions; conduct market research, study programmes and special arts projects; offer consultation and services to third parties based on their joint experience and development in the field. The FACE project was first presented at the European Parliament in Brussels in 2008. FACE presents its first joint organised and curated exhibition Investigations of a Dog in 2009, which will travel to all partner venues: Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin (Italy) - 21 October 2009 to 4 March 2010 Ellipse Foundation, Cascais (Portugal) – Spring 2010 La maison rouge – Fondation Antoine de Galbert, Paris (France) – Autumn 2010 Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall, Stockholm (Sweden) – Spring 2011 DESTE Foundation, Athens (Greece) – Summer 2011 |
