Art in Odd Places 2010: CHANCE
OPEN CALL FOR ARTIST SUBMISSIONS

Art in Odd Places (AIOP) invites artists working across disciplines to
propose projects for the festival's sixth installment (October 1 - 10,
2010). Taking place along 14th Street from Avenue C to the Hudson River in
New York City, we encourage proposals that explore this location's rich
history, configuration, and heterogeneous communities. The forthcoming
edition of AiOP is informed by various interpretations of the term CHANCE,
including proposition, luck, randomness, risk, and opportunity. Within this
context, artists are given the opportunity to apply their practice to an
unconventional structure—playing off the idiosyncrasies inherent to the
urban plane.

With emerging formats of communication, our culture has become a fertile
ground for broad intersections between individuals, ideas and situations.
This has resulted in unpredictable exchanges, relinquishment of control,
surprise collaborations, and instances of spatial revelation. *AiOP 2010:
CHANCE* intends to provide passersby with a new perspective of an otherwise
familiar environment through site-specific installations, social and spatial
interventions, video and audio projects, performance, new media, and other
inventive practices. In addressing the distinct manifestations of chance,
the festival aims to broaden the public’s outlook on art, city dwelling, and
social conventions.

2010 guest curators: Yaelle Amir and Petrushka Bazin. AiOP Founder and
Director: Ed Woodham.
