EXHIBITIONS
Exit Art, NYC : The Building Show - September 2006
Extended Deadline : May 31, 2006

In the fall of 2006, Exit Art will present The Building Show. Buildings have become iconic figures of cities and countries, as an homage to the vertical icons that surround us, we are asking artists to choose any building in the world and to respond to it by making a conceptual, realistic, personal, intimate or analytical portrait of that structure. Our personal relationship to buildings is at the crux of this exhibition. These architectural wonders are loved or despised by their neighbors. Oftentimes buildings serve as a symbol of a city or have deeply rooted historical significance, they form skylines that are embedded into our vertical memory. Other times buildings are surrounded by controversy, neighborhoods are rezoned, gentrification causes displacement, and old buildings are torn down and quickly rebuilt for new uses. For The Building Show, we want artists to respond to the love / hate relationship they have to these important structures. Artists can choose any building in the world, but the building needs to physically exist today.

Art in Odd Places® (AiOP)
to take place during 4th Annual HOWL! Festival
Deadline : May 15, 2006

Art in Odd Places® (AiOP) is an independent art exhibition in which artists present visual art, installations, and performances in unexpected, unusual public locations. It provides an opportunity for artists to explore the meaning of public art, and to examine its role in our society. AiOP asks the question: What is public space? Is it the Internet? Is it the sky? Is it the sidewalk? Is it a third story apartment window?

This year the exhibition will take place throughout Manhattan’s Lower East Side during the 4th annual HOWL! Festival, August 19-27, 2006.

AiOP 2006 projects will continue to examine current public space potential, spaces that have recently been privatized, and the boundaries of public space.

Increasing privatization through collaborative public/private partnerships has transformed many of our public spaces into environments maintained by video surveillance and social control. AiOP artists are encouraged to explore these spaces, and ask how the public in public space can be reclaimed. Artists are also encouraged to be cognizant of how art is placed within a community that might find it invasive rather than plopping it into a park. Artists should uncover new public spaces and/or spaces that are out of the way and off the beaten track.

Like a scavenger hunt, the audience with map in hand roams the Lower East Side to find each of the locations, or perhaps another discovers the art on the way home from grocery shopping.
