AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

CALL FOR INSTALLATION ARTISTS: Visual & Design Artists, Inter-Disciplinary
Creators, Theatrical Designers, Multi-Media Makers, Interior Decorators,
Environment Builders, Etc. to Recreate Classic Pillow Books in an Immersive,
Live Event.

Site-specific performance producers, Peculiar Works Project, are seeking a
variety of daring, boundary-crossing artists to create immersive
installations for a live performance featuring contemporary recreations of
classic erotic pillow books. Each artist will be given a room, material
resources and stipend as well as a team of collaborators to realize an
8-minute, repeating, performed installation. All together, Spring Pictures
of the Floating World will perform June 28 - July 1 in a large site in NYC's
East Village where audiences will move from space to space, charting their
own performance experiences throughout the exhibition hours.

Asian pillow books thrived in a time and place beyond western religion and
original sin (Google "shunga" for details). This project is open to all
types of artists interested in creating one part of a fantastical pleasure
palace, utilizing design, paint, sculpture, costumes, puppets, prosthetics,
and more. It's a fun and informative way to explore cultural difference, the
western gaze and sexual boundaries. More information can be found at
www.peculiarworks.org/pillow.html. If you're interested and available in
June, contact pillow@peculiarworks.org by May 18th with a resume or bio, and
let us know your interest and questions.
