[Oberlist] Open call to artists from the curators of The Climate Theater

[brendan leonard]

  ***Call to artists from the curators of The Climate Theater***

  On Saturday, October 25th, the gallery spaces of the Climate Theater 
in San Francisco, CA, USA will be transformed into a carnivalesque 
arcade of art and performance. The Climate Curatorial Collective 
invites artists in all media to freely interpret the theme "Step Right 
Up: An Election Carnival." At this intersection of Halloween and the 
media frenzy of the United States presidential election, we will create 
a space for artistic responses to games of chance, lotteries, voting 
machines, fortune telling, contests, predictions, lady luck,  and the 
line between the random and the pre-determined.

  We are seeking submissions in all media including interactive art, 
performance, installation, projection, sound, as well as traditional 
art forms (painting, photography, sculpture). Work does not have to be 
specifically political. 20 eclectic spaces will available for artwork 
and installations including 2 stages with sound systems, several small 
galleries, a rooftop, hallways and stairwells. Group collaborations are 
also welcome.

To submit work, please send us the following information:
  Your name(s)
  Phone
  Email
  Title of piece
  One paragraph description of piece including how it fits the theme of 
the show
  Web link to video documentation and/or attach up to 3 jpegs
  Please list the equipment that you will use (you must bring your own 
equipment)
  Any other special notes or requirements

  You may also send a proposal for a work you wish to create in response 
to the theme.  You will need to write a detailed proposal and attach 
documentation of prior work.

Please send all submissions and inquiries to: climatecurators at gmail.com

Deadline for submissions: Friday, August 22nd
Walk-through with curators at the Theater/Gallery: Sunday, September 
28th
Event date: Saturday October 25th, 2008  8pm-midnight

  The Climate Curatorial Collective’s mission is to foster supportive 
collaboration and experimentation outside the formal gallery system. 
The CCC adds to the vitality of the SF arts scene by creating 
opportunities for artists to present ephemeral works outside 
established categories, and to take risks without commercial pressures.
