[oberlist] Anywhere but NYC: Open Call Opportunity

[apexart]

Franchise Program

Accepting 500-word group exhibition proposals from February 15 - March  
15, 2014.


Franchise Proposal Winner 2013-14 Heterotopia, organized by crystal am  
nelson in Marfa, Texas

The apexart Franchise Program open call will accept proposals for idea- 
based, group exhibitions from February 15 to March 15, 2014. Three  
winning proposals will receive funding and administrative support from  
apexart to present their show in any location outside of New York City.

Now in its 6th year, the Franchise Program is open to anyone, from any  
background, anywhere in the world. One of apexart's two curatorial  
open calls, the Franchise asks for submissions for exhibitions that  
examine a specific idea or theme. Exhibitions can be about anything  
that the organizer finds compelling and can take place anywhere other  
than NYC. The most successful proposals are those that explore an idea  
that is integral to the country in which you wish to present. Past  
shows have explored construction in Mexico City, community in Memphis,  
and translation in Kampala. The Franchise is an opportunity to help  
bring a compelling idea to fruition and to illustrate that the center  
of the world is wherever you are. Please note that apexart is not a  
funding organization and exhibitions are part of apexart's regular  
programming.

The three winning exhibitions will be presented in apexart's 2014-15  
season.

Proposals are accepted online at apexart.org/franchise.php from  
February 15 - March 15, 2014. You may also visit this page for FAQs  
and other guideline details.

apexart: Cambodia

On the Streets
Organized by Chuong-Dai Vo
Opening: January 25: 6-9 pm
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
2013 Franchise Exhibition

A winner of last season's Franchise Program open call, On the Streets  
is inspired by the vendor cultures of Southeast Asia, where sidewalks  
and plazas are an essential meeting ground for commerce and social  
interactions. The exhibition is a comparative look at the effects of  
globalization on public communities worldwide through observations of  
their street life.

Participating artists have created new work that considers the theme  
from the vantage point of their own locations: Boston, Los Angeles,  
Phnom Penh, Saigon, and Vienna. These six artists will now meet in  
Cambodia to work on site specific pieces that delineate the  
differences between street cultures around the world.

Featuring work by:
Ashley Billingsley

On view: January 25 - February 22, 2014
