PS122 Gallery call for propoals

The PS122 Gallery, a non-profit in the lower east side, has a call for proposals (April 20th is the deadline) for artists who would like to be one half of a two-person show.

Each year we invite artists and curators to apply for two-person or group exhibitions, which are juried by a panel of art professionals including a curator, a writer, an artist and a member of the PS122 Gallery Advisory Board.

We accept applications from individual artists, 2-person groups or other small groups. Individual artists are encouraged to apply. They will be paired with another artist by the jury. Applications from students are not accepted.

Artists selected by the jury will be given the opportunity to exhibit their work for approximately three weeks, along with announcement postcards, press materials and guidance from the gallery director. While there are no geographical eligibility requirements, this opportunity is most appropriate for artists who live within commuting distance because artists are required to install their own exhibition and to gallery-sit on weekends.

I applied last year and was matched up for a show with Aaron Kreiswirth (a very talented photographer). My half of the show consisted of Mirror and the Anthroptic series I did in collaboration with author Benjamin Rosenbaum.
