Ongoing Open Call to Artists
Proposals for Art in Windows Installations in Greater Los Angeles Phantom Galleries LA
http://www.phantomgalleriesla.com/ Los Angeles, CA, January 25, 2006 - We are a new arts organization called Phantom Galleries LA <http://phantomgalleriesla.com/> that places art installations temporarily in vacant storefront windows throughout Los Angeles County.
We're putting out an open-ended call for proposals.
There is no entry fee.
To allow for various types of work, we have engaged various curators, both independent ones and those from established galleries, arts organizations, and educational institutions.
Dangerous Curve is currently the main curator. You can submit whatever you can think up that would be appropriate for public windows: installation art, sculpture, video or new media, 2D visual art, and even live art. The temporary locations range from indoor malls to locations viewable 24/7. Some get lots of foot traffic while others are more remotely located. Some are in developed areas while others are in developing ones. Some are under construction, some are not. New properties are being added (and subtracted, when they rent) all the time.
Currently, we are working primarily in Downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena, but will soon be announcing additional cities.
Here's how it works: if your proposal is selected by a curator, we place it on a waiting list for a space compatible with your requirements (determined via questionnaire).
Here are some considerations: You supply all the materials. We can supply some tools, such as hammers, and some consumables, such as nails, wire, tape, etc. You will want to be prepared to remove your piece within a reasonable amount of time should your space rent. You must leave each location in the same or in better condition than you found it.
Application procedures:
For all artists: please include contact information, a resume/bio, and a one-paragraph description of your proposed work, including whether or not it will be site-specific. For installations: please include diagrams and sufficient additional description.
For video work: please include the title, credits, length, date, and format. For curatorial previewing, we want QuickTime data files on either CD or DVD (nonencoded). For 2D visual work: please include printed pictures or URLs where they can be found.
For live art: please include the same as 2D visual work and video work (documentation of previous, not necessarily proposed, work), and a description, indicating length.
Send your applications to: Phantom Galleries LA 900 East First Street #105 Los Angeles, CA 90012 For questions and entries, contact Liza Simone at LizaSimone@aol.com
