January 23: Creative Time Open Door at P.S.1
Saturday, January 23, 2010
12:00 PM to 6:00 PM
P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center and Creative Time, the New York public art organization, announce Creative Time Open Door at P.S.1, an open call for New York-based artists to propose projects for the public realm, as part of P.S.1's Free Space program. The review will take place on January 23 and 24 at P.S.1.
Artists may send proposals for projects in any stage of development for review. Artists who are selected to participate will present their projects for ten minutes each, followed by a discussion with curators about their ideas and instructive feedback on resources, opportunities, and critical relevance. Proposals will be accepted through January 15, and artists for the review will be notified by January 21.
Participating curators from Creative Time include Nato Thompson, Chief Curator, and Meredith Johnson, Curator and Director of Consulting; from P.S.1, Klaus Biesenbach, Director, and Neville Wakefield, Senior Curatorial Advisor; and from MoMA, Connie Butler, Robert Lehman Foundation Chief Curator of Drawing. Artists who are not offered a review are able to apply for Creative Time's regularly scheduled Open Door program, which occurs every two months. Only New York-based artists are eligible to apply.
Creative Time Open Door at P.S.1 is an extension of Creative Time's ongoing Open Door program, which began in 2003 as a resource for artists seeking guidance for realizing their public art projects.
Free Space is a new collaborative initiative with artists and nonprofit arts institutions in which P.S.1 provides use of its gallery space for exhibitions, events, rehearsals, and other live presentations. Past participants include Marina Abramovic, Kalup Linzy and Printed Matter.
