Art in Odd Places 2010: CHANCE
OPEN CALL FOR ARTIST SUBMISSIONS
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.
