ARTISTS! AIOP (Art In Odd Places) currently has an open call for submissions. Do you knit graffiti on public benches? Or sneakily install tiles of Space Invaders? See the description and links below. DUE MAY 14TH
Art in Odd Places (AIOP)
invites artists working across disciplines to propose projects for the
festival's sixth installment (October 1 – 10, 2010). Taking
place along 14th Street from Avenue C to the Hudson River in New York
City, we encourage proposals that explore this location's rich history,
configuration, and heterogeneous communities. The forthcoming edition
of AiOP is informed by various interpretations of the term CHANCE,
including proposition, luck, randomness, risk, and opportunity. Within
this context, artists are given the opportunity to apply their practice
to an unconventional structure—playing off the idiosyncrasies inherent
to the urban plane.
With emerging formats of communication, our culture has become a fertile ground for broad intersections between individuals, ideas and situations. This has resulted in unpredictable exchanges, relinquishment of control, surprise collaborations, and instances of spatial revelation. AiOP 2010: CHANCE intends to provide passersby with a new perspective of an otherwise familiar environment through site-specific installations, social and spatial interventions, video and audio projects, performance, new media, and other inventive practices. In addressing the distinct manifestations of chance, the festival aims to broaden the public’s outlook on art, city dwelling, and social conventions.
2010 guest curators: Yaelle Amir and Petrushka Bazin. AiOP Founder and Director: Ed Woodham.
