Version>09: Immodest Proposals wants you to consider joining us this year.
Deadline for Version>09 Immodest Proposals February 28, 2009
As part of the festival we are starting special projects and collaborations.
The first one we are pleased to announce is called:
Codename: WPA Bridgeport Project 1
Visit the call for participation here: http://www.lumpen.com/V9/program.html
This project is meant to be an imagined cultural program that the federal government would instigate as part of the new Economic Stimulus Project being put through Congress by the Obama Administration.
Inspired by Roosevelt's New Deal cultural programs under the WPA (WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION) we hope this project underscores the necessity for the support of artists and the idea of civic responsibility to the greater society.
We will be using the neighborhood of Bridgeport as a pilot program to install fresh public works, sculptures, murals, as well as poster and other media campaigns to inspire citizens in these trying times. We have secured walls, interior and exterior and are working with our neighbors to provide space to show new permanent and temporary works.
