In the three-storey building ceilings have been preserved only between the ground and the first floor, there are no windows, which makes public access to the interior space of the building impossible. However, there is a possibility for working with the exterior space and appearance of the tower.
- Maximum amount of funds requested for materials for implementation of one project should not exceed equivalent to $2000.
- Additionally organisers cover travel, accommodation and meals for 6 days in Kaliningrad.
- Materials and travel expenses are to be paid by organisers directly. Money is not to be transferred to authors.
- Authors of the three selected projects come to Kaliningrad for setting up, taking part in preparation and opening. Set up should last no longer than 6 days. Authors of the projects selected for implementation receive fee equivalent to $500 per each artist.
- The organisers will provide part of equipment for implementation of the project. If necessary the equipment can be installed both inside (no access for audience, however) and outside the building.
- The results of the program will be presented in a bilingual edition (Russian, English) that is to be published in November 2009.
