The 3rd 01SJ Biennial will take place September 16-19, 2010 in San Jose, CA. The theme of the Biennial is “Build Your Own World.” Prior to the Biennial, from September 4-15, ZER01 is inviting independent artists, designers, architects, engineers, programmers, and corporate and academic research programs to publicly work in San Jose’s “South Hall” to create projects for exhibition, performance, provocation, and interaction. This innovative platform is titled Out of the Garage, Into the World and will build on the dynamic histories of garage hacking and citizen science. Tied into this idea of public participation and new creations is the first iteration of the 01SJ Green Prix, an “eco-motion” parade, public workshop, family oriented green activities, and a music program. The Green Prix will be an innovative venue for artists to produce and showcase projects that not only celebrate but challenge sustainable locomotion to reach new limits. Sustainable transportation is not only about being “green”, but commenting on how we move about and travel. ZER01 is inviting an artist or artist team to participate in a public workshop for the Green Prix and imagine not just what is next, but work to ensure what’s next matters.

ZER01 is soliciting proposals from California-based artists and artist teams for a free, artist-led public workshop to create a project for the Green Prix during the 2010 San Jose Biennial.

Deadline: February 15, 2010
Dates of participation: September 4-September 20, 2010
Venue: South Hall, San Jose CA
Budget: $5000
