FRANKLIN FURNACE OPEN CALL TO ALL ARTISTS DEADLINE: April 1st
http://www.franklinfurnace.org
THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND FOR PERFORMANCE ART 2002-03
Supported by Jerome Foundation and the New York State Council on the
Arts, Franklin Furnace awards grants between $2,000 and $5,000 to
performance artists, allowing them to produce major works anywhere in
the State of New York. Artists from all areas of the world are
invited to apply.
THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2003
Franklin Furnace offers artists an honorarium (this year of $5,000)
and a residency facilitated by Franklin Furnace, for a 2-4 month
duration at a physical or online venue appropriate to your proposed
work. For THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2003, we hope to continue to
expand the technology available to our artists through Parsons and
beyond. The residencies may take place in the Spring or Fall of 2003.
Artists who are interested in developing new artwork for the Internet
are encouraged to apply.
See below for details on HOW TO APPLY.
Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists
reviews all proposals. We believe that this peer panel system allows
all kinds of artists from all over the world an equal shot at
presenting their work. All applicants are automatically considered
for both categories of awards. Every year the panel changes, as the
definition of "emerging artist," the notion of “live art on the
Internet,” and the definition of "performance art" itself changes, so
if at first you don't succeed, try again.
Since its inception in 1985 THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND FOR PERFORMANCE
ART has boosted the careers of such emerging artists as Papo Colo,
Karen Finley, John Fleck, Holly Hughes, Cathy Weis, Pamela Sneed,
Murray Hill, Tanya Barfield and Patty Chang.
This year's esteemed selection panel consisted of artists and
curators Patty Chang, Garland Farwell, Zhang Ga, Carmin Karasic,
Christiane Paul and Mark Tribe. This year's Fundwinners are Tish
Benson, Christine Carson, George Ferrandi, Stanya Kahn, Cary
Peppermint and Tadej Pogacar. THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2002 artists
are Kathleen Brandt and Brian Lonsway, Jeff Gompertz, and G.H.
Hovagimyan. The full schedule and project descriptions are available
on our website).

Deadline February 15, 2002
innovative, experimental public projects by emerging artists living
and/or working in New York State
Public Art Fund: IN THE PUBLIC REALM
Public Art Fund presents
In the Public Realm
An opportunity for emerging artists to develop and site experimental
public art in New York City.
In the Public Realm is an opportunity for emerging New York artists
to undertake the challenge of creating a temporary work in a public
space. Up to seven emerging artists will be selected by a
distinguished panel of artists, critics, and arts professionals and
commissioned by the Public Art Fund to develop formal proposals for
public art projects. From these proposals, the Public Art Fund will
select three artists to realize their work in the coming year.
Public Art Fund Inc. is a non-profit arts organization that presents
the work of contemporary artists in New York's public spaces,
providing alternative venues in which to create and view art. The
Public Art Fund, over the past twenty years, has acted as a
facilitator and advocate for artists and their work. By bringing new
artworks into the public realm, the Public Art Fund provides a unique
forum and support structure for artists to realize their artistic
vision, while simultaneously increasing public access to contemporary
art.
What it is
In the Public Realm is a program of the Public Art Fund designed to
encourage innovative, experimental public projects by emerging
artists living and/or working in New York State. Artists selected
through the program will make proposals, develop their work in
relation to urban conditions, and ultimately present their work in
the complex arena of public life in New York City.
Artists are encouraged to investigate the physical, social, and
psychological nature of the urban environment throughout the diverse
neighborhoods of New York City. Previous experience of working in
public spaces is not essential for selection in this program.
How it happens
PHASE ONE February 2002
Commission Proposals
In February 2002, an Advisory Committee of artists, critics,
curators, and experts in contemporary art will select up to nine
artists to develop formal proposals for a public art project. Artists
will be selected on the basis of materials submitted (see What to
Submit). The selected artists will each receive $1,000 to create a
formal proposal. Investigating potential sites and communities in New
York City for their proposed project, artists will develop working
drawings, prepare a maquette, and present an accurate budget.
PHASE TWO Summer 2002
Commission Projects
In the summer of 2002, the selected artists will present their
proposals to the Public Art Fund. The Public Art Fund will choose up
to three projects for realization. Those artists selected to create
projects will receive $7,500 towards fabrication and installation,
based on the finalized project budget and an artist fee of $2,500.
PHASE THREE Spring and Fall 2003
In the Public Realm exhibition
The selected projects will be exhibited the following year, opening
in the spring and fall of 2003. Projects may be exhibited for up to
one year.
What to Submit
Artists interested in this program are invited to submit the
following materials
Up to ten 35mm slides of recent and/or current work in a clear
plastic slide sheet. Each slide must be clearly labeled with your
name(s), title, date, media, dimensions, and the TOP indicated.
Please include a slide description sheet with corresponding numbers.
Larger format transparencies, photographs, and drawings will not be
considered. Do not submit original work.
Current resume, including name, address, telephone number, and email address.
A brief statement of interest (no more than 300 typewritten words).
This should be a brief statement about your work that the panel may
refer to when viewing slides, or issues and concepts that surround
your work. This statement will be considered by the Advisory
Committee as an indication of the direction your work might take
should you be selected. Please do not submit a formal proposal.
A self-addressed stamped envelope large enough to return submitted
materials containing the correct amount of postage (stamps only, no
postage meter strips). Submissions without S.A.S.E. will not be
returned and pick-ups are not permitted.
Optional materials may include one -" VHS videotape. The Advisory
Committee will review up to three minutes of your tape. Clearly mark
the outside of the tape with your name and title(s) of the work(s),
and cue the tape to the segment you want the Committee to review.
When to submit
Materials must be received at the Public Art Fund's office by 500
p.m. on Friday, February 15, 2002 (postmarks are not acceptable).
Hand deliveries will be accepted.
Artists will be notified by letter no later than March 8, 2002.
Please do not call before this date.
