AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

*CALL FOR PROPOSALS*

Ed Woodham of *Art in Odd Places
(NYC) *and Deborah Oliver of* Performance Exchange (LA) *invite artists
working with visual and performance strategies to propose projects for
*Un-Space
Ground, *a visual and performance event that is part of ART IN THE PUBLIC
REALM, presented by ARTSpace at the 100th annual College Arts Association
Conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Saturday, February, 25,
2012.

Projects selected will be part of *Un-Space Ground:* * **The unvisited,
unnamed, and uninhabited empty areas beneath the normally used parts of the
urban landscape. *We seek to program site-specific social and spatial
interventions, performances, and new media that will activate spaces
outside the Convention Center entrance and selected inside spaces.

The* Un-Space Ground* presentations will be coordinated with three panel
sessions as part of the ARTSpace day long program "*ART IN THE PUBLIC
REALM"*, which will explore themes of activism and intervention, the
environment, eco-systems and sustainable practices. Plus the role of
artists and designers as dynamic catalysts in social and civic life, and
how they can “feed innovative ideas into the bloodstream of society”
through strategies and processes that activate the public arena.
