Art in Odd Places 2010: CHANCE
OPEN CALL FOR ARTIST SUBMISSIONS

Art in Odd Places (AIOP) invites artists working across disciplines to
propose projects for the festival's sixth installment (October 1 - 10,

2010). Taking place along 14th Street from Avenue C to the Hudson River in
New York City, we encourage proposals that explore this location's rich
history, configuration, and heterogeneous communities. The forthcoming
edition of AiOP is informed by various interpretations of the term CHANCE,
including proposition, luck, randomness, risk, and opportunity. Within this

Hello, Soundasart--

This is DaveX. I've been tapped to curate/produce the first broadcast in
a set of four World Listening Project-themed Framework: Afield episodes.
I'm going to assume you're familiar with the radio show-- moving on. The
agreed-upon thematic hook for this particular episode is "Sounds You
Might Have Heard," which is rather open-ended.

I'm seeking submissions for this broadcast, and things are moving a tad
slowly for my taste-- help me get things rolling more quickly by getting
in touch. Thanks!

--DaveX

*A collaborative performance and exhibition at Pieter*

*Privacy/Publicity* is a curated event featuring dance, fiction reading, and
video art. Our aim is to open a conversation, via these art forms, around
the status of the terms *private* and *public*. We are seeking work that
addresses the interplay of private and public space, physical and virtual
experience, individuality and collectivity—all the concepts that describe
the particular experience of living in an age of unprecedented access to
information.

We are seeking video art, film and works of fiction. Submissions should
reflect the theme *Privacy/Publicity* as outlined above. Video entries
