AN OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS TO PROPOSE PUBLIC PROJECTS TO CREATIVE TIME AND P.S.1 CURATORS

(December 16, 2009; New York, NY) 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. Artists are invited to submit proposals at http://creativetime.org/programs/opendoor/index.html through January 15, and will be notified if they are scheduled for a review by January 21. After an initial review by the Creative Time curators, 35 artists will be offered 15-20 minute, private portfolio reviews conducted by the curators from both institutions, on January 23 and 24, at P.S.1. The program offers an opportunity for artists to get feedback on specific projects for the public realm.

Artists may send proposals for projects in any stage of development for review at Creative Time Open Door at P.S.1, 22-25 Jackson Ave, Long Island City, NY, 11101. 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.
