–<\/p>\n

TORRES<\/p>\n

Writers working in any field and at any stage of their careers are invited to submit short<\/p>\n

proposals for texts expanding the dialogue around Felix Gonzalez-Torres\u2019s work. There is a<\/p>\n

parallel<\/p>\n

call<\/p>\n

for essayists in<\/p>\n

China, which will<\/p>\n

be edited separately.<\/p>\n

The<\/p>\n

authors<\/p>\n

of ten to<\/p>\n

twenty<\/p>\n

selected proposals\u2014across<\/p>\n

both calls\u2014will<\/p>\n

be paid USD<\/p>\n

$1,500 to<\/p>\n

expand their idea<\/p>\n

into essays<\/p>\n

of approximately 1,500\u20132,000 words.<\/p>\n

The<\/p>\n

authors<\/p>\n

of<\/p>\n

four to six<\/p>\n

of<\/p>\n

these essays will<\/p>\n

be published in the<\/p>\n

catalogue accompanying<\/p>\n

a recent<\/p>\n

exhibition<\/p>\n

of the artist’s<\/p>\n

work at the Rockbund Museum in Shanghai, and they<\/p>\n

will<\/p>\n

be paid an additional $500 USD for<\/p>\n

publication.<\/p>\n

Felix Gonzalez-Torres\u2019s<\/p>\n

work has continuously grown in<\/p>\n

significance<\/p>\n

and the breadth of its<\/p>\n

influence\u2014both within and outside<\/p>\n

the art<\/p>\n

world.<\/p>\n

The Foundation<\/p>\n

is<\/p>\n

open to all<\/p>\n

proposals<\/p>\n

and is<\/p>\n

keen to hear from<\/p>\n

writers<\/p>\n

from<\/p>\n

a broad range<\/p>\n

of contexts, including but<\/p>\n

not limited to economics,<\/p>\n

cultural<\/p>\n

anthropology, political activism, legal studies, technology studies, art history, physics,<\/p>\n

literature, and environmental<\/p>\n

studies. One goal<\/p>\n

of this endeavour<\/p>\n

is to highlight<\/p>\n

the<\/p>\n

ways<\/p>\n

Gonzalez-Torres\u2019s thinking<\/p>\n

intersects with other disciplines and remains<\/p>\n

relevant<\/p>\n

amid ever-<\/p>\n

changing social, cultural, and technological<\/p>\n

contexts.<\/p>\n

Not every<\/p>\n

submitter will be<\/p>\n

invited to expand their proposal, but<\/p>\n

every proposal<\/p>\n

will<\/p>\n

be read<\/p>\n

carefully and will<\/p>\n

receive<\/p>\n

a response. The Foundation aims<\/p>\n

to<\/p>\n

broaden its<\/p>\n

network of writers<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

thinkers engaged<\/p>\n

with<\/p>\n

Gonzalez-Torres\u2019s work and may approach submitters<\/p>\n

about<\/p>\n

future<\/p>\n

publishing opportunities. While<\/p>\n

the<\/p>\n

deadlines<\/p>\n

below<\/p>\n

are<\/p>\n

tied to the<\/p>\n

circumstances<\/p>\n

of this<\/p>\n

publication, please<\/p>\n

note<\/p>\n

that<\/p>\n

the<\/p>\n

Foundation is<\/p>\n

always open to inspiring new writers and<\/p>\n

to<\/p>\n

receiving proposals.<\/p>\n

For this call,<\/p>\n

though<\/p>\n
