CALL FOR CURATOR

  • Deadline:
    Aug. 30, 2006, 11:53 a.m.

CALL FOR CURATOR. City Without Walls (cWOW), New Jersey's oldest alternative
art space, is seeking a curator for its third annual 1800Frames exhibit,
which features recently produced, independent, non-commercial one-minute
videos.

SCHEDULE. Show dates for 1800 Frames are December 7, 2006 - January 11,
2007. Curator selection and a call for work will be posted by mid-September.
The curator's final selection of approximately 40 works and completion of a
brief catalogue essay are due by late October.

CURATORIAL PROCESS. The curator is free to select any artist of their
choosing. The curator is not required to select cWOW members, and selected
artists are not required to become members. However, curators must review
all member entries, and are encouraged to ask artists to join. This process
ensures high-quality, independent selection, while also building our
membership base, which provides crucial support for programming such as the
1800Frames exhibition.

EXHIBITION DETAILS. cWOW's gallery in downtown Newark is a state-of-the-art
facility with over 1,600 square feet of exhibition space, including a main
gallery, a project room, 9-foot screen, several flat-screen TVs, and other
video projection equipment. Videos may also be made accessible through our
website at www.cwow.org , and will be available as a tax-deductible premium
compilation disc to support cWOW.

MISSION AND FUNDERS. City Without Walls, in continuous operation since 1975,
is a not-for-profit urban gallery of emerging art that advances the careers
of artists while building the audience for contemporary art. cWOW is funded
in part by Prudential Foundation, Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, NJ State
Council on the Arts/Department of State, JPMorganChase and the City of
Newark. cWOW is a three-time recipient of the prestigious NJSCA "Citation of
Excellence."
