Lee's Questions around Croatia and Camp

Does Molecula have space to store boxes that we ship there?

When we arrive we have a workshop right away where we:

Build Crates
Build Community

While we are working ask the questions:

What does your city need?
What is great about this place?
Where should we go?


Soon:

Have another workshop and ask:

Where are things located?
How can we structure the space?
How can we keep the space active and mobile?

All of this is participation and performance using visual tools to create practical dialogue about place.

The show stays open and…..

More workshops can happen
People can continue to use the physical objects as building blocks to talk about how things are and how things should be

The show closes:

How do we de-install? Do we need to come back?

ARTIST RESIDENCY PROJECT: Kutztown University of Pennsylvania
Award: $ 10,000 project budget, housing and production assistants provided

The Sharadin Art Gallery at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania requests proposals from artists, craftspersons, and designers for the production of an original, temporary, site-specific installation for our exhibition space.

The artwork will remain on view from January 29 – March 5, 2010. The selected artist (or artist team) will be awarded $10,000. The award must cover all material and labor costs associated with the production of the work, all travel expense to and from our site, all incidental costs, meals, and all artist fees and honoraria. The university will provide housing one block from the gallery (Main Street Inn). A group of Kutztown University students will be available to assist with the physical production of the selected proposal.

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, located an hour north of Philadelphia, and two hours west of New York City, has an enrollment of 10,000+ students. Each year, our College of Visual and Performing Arts awards approximately 225 undergraduate degrees in Communication Design, Fine Arts, Art Education, and Crafts. Our Visual Arts programs are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.

Application deadline is end-of-business, Friday June 12, 2009. For more information about our physical space and specifics about applying for this project, please visit:

Questions should be e-mailed to: talley@kutztown.edu
E-mail only – NO PHONE CALLS, please!

the Pen

An idea for a state-side exhibit to follow up Croatia:

Eastern State Penitentiary has alot of exciting spaces to exhibit in.
Word is, that while artist(s) do not have to visit and tour the Pen before submitting a proposal,
no proposal has been funded or approved to date without an in person visit.
The 2010 cycle deadline is very close, so why don't we plan for a 2011 submission... it could be early 2011, so Croatia and whatever transpires is still fresh. A couple of us would have to plan to visit and tour the site... I would be willing. And if anyone is going to the 2010 SGC in Philadelphia, we could multi-task and tour the place then.

Exhibition Approval: Maximum $7,500.00 per project, includes approval to exhibit during the proposed exhibition cycle. It is not necessary to have applied for or received Proposal Development<http://www.easternstate.org/exhibits/guidelines.php#proposal_development>. Must be for current exhibition cycle. No artist installations can be approved to exhibit on the property without approval through this process. All projects that are approved are for exhibit during one full tour season (April through November), unless otherwise discussed. Artists whose work is currently on exhibit can apply through a separate process to extend their installation by one tour season.

Proposal Development: Maximum $2,500.00 per project, for development of an Exhibition Approval<http://www.easternstate.org/exhibits/guidelines.php#exhibition_approval> proposal. Proposal Development cannot be applied to the current exhibition cycle. This funding is designed to develop an idea or body of work that will later be submitted as an Exhibition Approval<http://www.easternstate.org/exhibits/guidelines.php#exhibition_approval> proposal in a later cycle. It is intended to offset travel costs and artist materials for ambitious projects that may require extensive work to develop. It is not necessary to name which year an Exhibition Approval<http://www.easternstate.org/exhibits/guidelines.php#exhibition_approval> proposal will be submitted. Receipt of Proposal Development does not guarantee later Exhibition Approval<http://www.easternstate.org/exhibits/guidelines.php#exhibition_approval>, nor that the work will ever be exhibited.
