Online + Garage Gallery Draw Me Series***NEW

The idea of the Draw Me Series is to create exchange amongst strangers by using the simple model of portraiture. This piece is intended to bridge those boundaries between strangers. I have offered this collaborative intervention to many people across the country and world through the use of Craigslist.. After I receive 100 participants/authors I will seek out publishers. Upon publishing, any proceeds will be redistributed back out to the collaborators/authors. Here is a brief breakdown of the process: This is a conceptual piece that evolves many elements of form and content. Here are the steps: 1. You will need a sketch pad and drawing pencils. A camera of some sort. 2. Meet someone that you are not familiar with and allow them to draw your portrait.
3. Then write about the transaction (one page doubled space) 4. Photograph the performance (have a third party take the picture) 5. Bring back the following; Drawing, Photo, Narrative (one doubled spaced page). The collection is more of reflection of authorship than it is representation. The collection of information will be formatted into a coffee table book.

Pittsburgh, PA + Interplay Exhibition

As part of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh 2010 Centennial Year celebration, AAP will honor its connection with Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and its affiliated guild artists with an exhibition entitled Interplay. Interplay is defined as mutual action, influence and interaction. Interplay implies a reciprocal action and reaction of opposing forces. Some examples are the interplay between environment and genetics; painting and sculpture; religion and politics; art and science.

The challenge to artists is to consider all of the ways in which people, things or ideas repeatedly act on and react to each other and to explore the tension that is created when two disparate elements are brought together visually. The concept of Interplay can also embrace the cooperative and creative action and reaction between two or more artists involved in collaboration.

Juror: Eric Shiner

Derbyshire, England + Sutton Scarsdale Hall Call for Concepts

Concepts and proposals can be submitted as drawings, images or texts, by email to the address listed below.  All ideas, gestural, utopian or pragmatic are welcome.  At this stage we need to raise an initial £1,250,000. Fundraiser launch in London: late Autumn 2009

The skeletal remains of Sutton Scarsdale Hall continue to decay. A dilapidated wreck of a structure, you enter at your own risk.  In the very heart of England, Sutton Scarsdale Hall is to become the Pavilion of Postcontemporary Curating.

What is a pavilion of postcontemporary curating? First it will be a new international art facility set in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. The current Hall is a perfect exhibition/ performance space, lit from above, with high walls, neutral floor. It will be dedicated solely to new curating. Second, the Pavilion of Postcontemporary Curating will be a sculptural work incorporating the remains of Sutton Scarsdale Hall.  Third, the pavilion of postcontemporary curating will provide a home for the Centre of Attention and its archive.

The space will have a special remit to act as a 'patron' to working class artists and curators by providing these facilities for free.  It will facilitate new media production as well as old, it will have a library, archive, research facilities and study resource, studios and accommodation as well as a gallery dedicated to the history of the house.  A sculpture, it will become part of the regional landscape and act as a beacon to advanced ideas and art praxis in the regional and international scene.

Timetable for the pavilion: (2009) secure the remains of the building. ACT NOW to stop the decay; source architects through competition and re-imagine the site; recruitment and announcement of Advisory Board (2010) construction of sculpture/art centre (2011) completion and inaugural exhibition and residency.

Den Haag, The Netherlands + Marcello’s Art Factory/URM Project

An Urban Ready Made (URM) is a street, a building, a view, an object or an event in an urban- or industrial environment, where a conjunction of circumstances cause beauty and art. When an artist or architect declares this (with some ritual proceedings) art, it becomes an Urban Ready Made.  With the Urban Ready Mades Project we would like to bring art closer to people. Art doesn't have to be difficult to understand. You can find beauty everywhere and to enjoy art you don't have to visit a museum or an exposition. We hope our project lets people realize that they can find art and beauty in their own city.
Marcello & Els, the founders of the project, want to give other artists and architects a chance to declare an URM in their own surroundings and join this unique concept. This way there will grow a "gesammtkunstwerk" (a collective work of art) of thousands of URM's, which will go beyond borders. Firstly this is going to take place in the form of a virtual exhibition on the World Wide Web, crossing virtual borders. In the year 2010 it will become a traveling exhibition, kicking off in The Hague.
