Artists & Models: SHOWOFFS - Call For Work

HALLWALLS is currently accepting proposals from visual artists for temporary, one-night installations to be a featured element of SHOWOFFS, the 2012 incarnation of the venerable Artists & Models Affair.

Only a limited number of installations will be included so preference will be given to the dynamic, the compelling, the arresting, the creatively deranged, and the thematically apt.

It's not like we have discouraged artists from showing off in the past—quite the contrary. But this year's event will take place in the former Pierce Arrow auto showroom at 1685 Elmwood Avenue (at Great Arrow Drive) on Saturday, September 29, 2012.

It's a big sexy space and we are looking for your big, sexy proposals. If there were ever an occasion to realize your inflated sense of self, this is it. We would like to hear what you want to show off and how you plan to do it.

You may have heard this before but it's still true—A&M represents a location, a state of being, a condition, an apparition, a temporary psychosis, an inevitably, a breeding ground for frivolity.

Submit accordingly.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES



INSTALLATIONS

Installation space is limited and there are only a few "closed-off" areas available. Most installations will need to be situated in a large, open space. Accordingly, installations that desire space free of noise bleed are discouraged. While we may apply practical size restrictions in the final layout of works, do not hesitate to propose large installations (but bear in mind—no freight elevator, just a passenger one and two wide flights of stairs).

PERFORMANCES

HALLWALLS will also welcome submissions for a series of stage-based performance works. Your proposed performance should be 10 minutes max and you should be ready to go with no on-stage set up time.

As always, roaming performance submissions are also welcomed.

Your submission should contain:
Maximum ONE page description, including equipment usage, AND maximum OF 2 images emailed TO ALL THREE:
emails
Deadline for submissions: Friday, June 22, 6pm.
