***Call to artists from the curators of The Climate Theater***
On Saturday, October 25th, the gallery spaces of the Climate Theater
in San Francisco, CA, USA will be transformed into a carnivalesque
arcade of art and performance. The Climate Curatorial Collective
invites artists in all media to freely interpret the theme "Step Right
Up: An Election Carnival." At this intersection of Halloween and the
media frenzy of the United States presidential election, we will create
a space for artistic responses to games of chance, lotteries, voting
machines, fortune telling, contests, predictions, lady luck, and the
line between the random and the pre-determined.
We are seeking submissions in all media including interactive art,
performance, installation, projection, sound, as well as traditional
art forms (painting, photography, sculpture). Work does not have to be
specifically political. 20 eclectic spaces will available for artwork
and installations including 2 stages with sound systems, several small
galleries, a rooftop, hallways and stairwells. Group collaborations are
also welcome.
To submit work, please send us the following information:
Your name(s)
Phone
Email
Title of piece
One paragraph description of piece including how it fits the theme of
the show
Web link to video documentation and/or attach up to 3 jpegs
Please list the equipment that you will use (you must bring your own
equipment)
Any other special notes or requirements
You may also send a proposal for a work you wish to create in response
to the theme. You will need to write a detailed proposal and attach
documentation of prior work.
Please send all submissions and inquiries to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Deadline for submissions: Friday, August 22nd
Walk-through with curators at the Theater/Gallery: Sunday, September
28th
Event date: Saturday October 25th, 2008 8pm-midnight
The Climate Curatorial Collective’s mission is to foster supportive
collaboration and experimentation outside the formal gallery system.
The CCC adds to the vitality of the SF arts scene by creating
opportunities for artists to present ephemeral works outside
established categories, and to take risks without commercial pressures.
