REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - New iLANDing Laboratories Initiative

Dear iLANDers,

In celebration of iLAND's 10th anniversary, the 2014 iLAB residency will
take on an experimental format as a series of workshops/laboratories
designed by members of the iLAND community. These workshops are envisioned
as focused forums and platforms for a reflective, advanced discourse on
ideas about urban ecologies, kinesthetic experience, and new approaches to
interdisciplinary creative processes as cultivated throughout eight years of
the iLAB Residency Program.

This Request for Proposals is open to all past iLAB residents, applicants,
and symposium participants. New combinations of collaborators introduced
through iLAND events and partnerships with outside institutions or venues
are welcomed. Laboratories may take on any structure (a forum, workshop,
walk, charette, tour, discussion, performance, potluck, experiment.), and
any period of time (two hours, two days, a month of Sundays...).

An honorarium of $200 will be awarded to accepted proposals to assist in
covering workshop expenses. iLAND will help to promote workshops via email,
social media, and the iLAND newsletter. Proposals are due on October 30th.
Please limit your proposal to 2 pages and email it to info@ilandart.org. If
you have questions please contact Jennifer Monson at 917 860 8239 or
jennifer@ilandart.org. Accepted proposals will be notified by November 30,
2013.

We hope these workshops will provide an opportunity for you to share your
current work and interests as well as to revisit and expand upon ideas
initially explored through past iLAB Residencies and iLAND Symposiums.

Please note that this year's Laboratories are happening in conjunction with
a Movement Research Studies Project on Sustainability on Tuesday, Nov. 5th
and with the Movement Research Spring Festival, which iLAND is serving as
one of the curators. The annual iLAND Symposium will be held in conjunction
with the Movement Research Spring Festival as a series of workshops,
presentations, and discussions. More information about the upcoming Studies
Project is available HERE.

We would also like to invite everyone to the Spring Festival May 27- June 3
where residents will share information about their workshops and report back
to the iLAND community.

We also encourage you to join us at the Movement Research Study Project
Vulnerable Systems: Moving Beyond Sustainability on November 5th from
5:30-8:30pm at Gibney Dance Center.
