Mister Wong loves art, so we’ve become a media partner of the NEW LIFE BERLIN Contemporary Art Festival curated by the art community WOOLOO.org. The festival will take place in Berlin from June 1-15 and is open to participation from international artists. If you are an artist and are interested in taking part in NEW LIFE BERLIN, you can. They are calling for participation for the following projects:

FICTIVE DAYS,a project developed by Peruvian artists Sergio Zevallos, is a two-week performance studio for the collective research of fictional characters. Six to eight artists/researchers will be selected to live and work closely together in a large Berlin apartment and adopt and maintain the identity of a mainstream film character. To participate in this project or for more information go to: www.wooloo.org/fictivedays

THE SANDWICH BOX is an ongoing, collaborative artwork and has been circulating between artists around the world since 2004, but this is the very first time that the project is launched in its current form. As part of the NEW LIFE BERLIN Contemporary Art Festival, artists anywhere in the world can apply to obtain THE SANDWICH BOX suitcase for one week. To request the SANDWICH BOX or for more information go to: www.wooloo.org/sandwichbox

OPEN DIALOGUES: NEW LIFE BERLIN is a critical writing initiative exploring online and offline communities during the NEW LIFE BERLIN Festival, in which local and international writers are asked to apply for taking part in discussing and developing critical responses to festival. In collaboration with the writers selected, OPEN DIALOGUES: NEW LIFE BERLIN will investigate the implications and role of critical writing as a discourse in relation to communities of contemporary art, and will develop organic responses to the festival itself as it unfolds. To participate in this project or for more information go to: www.wooloo.org/opendialouges

CABAN UNNOS: IT’S NOW-OR-NEVER, a project conceived and developed by the Sheffield-based art group No Fixed Abode, invites artists and other participants to collaborate on building a one-night-house in Berlin during the NEW LIFE BERLIN Festival.
