Qb³ presents [spot]
Parking spots (selected by DesignPhiladelphia) along S. Broad Street
17 October 2008, 6-8pm
Philadelphia artists and designers claim the urban parking spot — an idle space between the bustling streets and sidewalks of the city. We invite you to submit a visual proposal for [spot], a series of outdoor interventions that explore the potential dynamics of this momentary public space along Broad Street.
Proposals should evolve the notion that these spots — even if only for a few hours — can be occupied by design and engage with the public. Responding to the condition of the site (a 6’ x 12’ street parking space), entries should mark a moment in the urban landscape, emerge from the noise of SUV’s and double-parked UPS trucks, and provoke new thought on this disregarded public space.
Each submission should provide a clear understanding of the installation’s final design, concept and portability. Proposals must be submitted in a printed 11” x 17” format to be considered, with at least one image showing the proposed design integrated within a parking spot and how it is accessed or viewed by the public. All design/arts disciplines are encouraged to submit an entry for consideration. The competition is open to students, professionals, individuals and groups. The Philadelphia-based jury will select entries to be included in [spot] in conjunction with DesignPhiladelphia 2008.
Jury:
– Susan Davis, Director, Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority Public Art Program
– Erik Olsen, Erik Olsen Graphic Design
– Janice Woodcock, AIA, KieranTimberlake Associates LLP
Requirements for Submission:(1). 11” x 17” printed board illustrating concept, mounted on foamcore (Layout should include at least one image and 150-word description of the concept). Entrants’ name(s) CANNOT appear on any part of the submission that goes to the jury. All submissions MUST be completely anonymous.(2). CD with digital image files at 300 dpi(3). Sealed envelope with project entry form.

Deadlines:Registration: Monday, 04 August 2008 by 5pmFee = $25/entry.

Purpose of Art(ists) on the Verge
The Jerome Foundation supports several world-leading organizations such as Rhizome and Turbulence, who foster new media art practice and are important champions of such work.

Selection Criteria for the AOV Fellowship and Mentorship Programs
All applicants must be Minnesota residents and considered emerging artists. Evidence of some professional achievement is expected, but not an extensive record of accomplishment. Fulltime students are not eligible, with one exception.

The other three commissions are part of a 9-month, experimental mentoring program for the development, production and exhibition of new work. The Mentorship program begins in fall 2008 with an intensive 3-day “Boot-Up” Camp, October 10-12, co-presented with MCAD. Over the ensuing 9 months, artists will have bi-weekly individual and group mentoring sessions and critical workshops by visiting curators and artists on multiple occasions followed by a joint exhibition in the spring/summer of 2009 at a venue to be determined.

The Jerome Foundation supports several world-leading organizations such as Rhizome and Turbulence, who foster new media art practice and are important champions of such work. The ultimate goal of the AOV Fellowship and Mentorship programs is to create sustainable habitat for the local ecology of experimental art practice with the following key elements: critical support and evaluation, monetary and technical resources, audience development, and institutional recognition.
Selection Criteria for the AOV Fellowship and Mentorship Programs
All applicants must be Minnesota residents and considered emerging artists. Evidence of some professional achievement is expected, but not an extensive record of accomplishment. Fulltime students are not eligible, with one exception. If an artist enrolls in an undergraduate or graduate degree program or takes classes while maintaining a current and active professional practice of creating and presenting work to the public, she/he is eligible. Artists may be supported as individuals or as equal collaborators.
Applicants should:
- Exhibit talent and interest in work produced at the intersection of art,
media, technology, and social practice, particularly in ways that are social,
collaborative and/or participatory. The quality of past work as
demonstrated through work samples will be considered. - Demonstrate a commitment as reflected in the Project Proposal and/ or
Artist Statement in experimenting with the boundaries of one’s art practice. - Demonstrate the ability to artistically accomplish in a timely manner an
artwork for public presentation. - Present a compelling Project Proposal (a less critical selection criterion for
Mentorship Program)Please email AOV@northern.lights.mn if you have questions about eligibility.
Twin Tracks: Fellowships and Mentorships
A total of six commissions will be awarded. Three of the six commissions are outright fellowships for the production of new work and a joint exhibition in the spring/summer of 2009. The other three commissions are part of a 9-month, experimental mentoring program for the development, production and exhibition of new work. The Mentorship program begins in fall 2008 with an intensive 3-day “Boot-Up” Camp, October 10-12, co-presented with MCAD. Over the ensuing 9 months, artists will have bi-weekly individual and group mentoring sessions and critical workshops by visiting curators and artists on multiple occasions followed by a joint exhibition in the spring/summer of 2009 at a venue to be determined.
The call for submissions is open and available here.
