NEW: Call for In/stall/ed Submissions

Hello all you lovely artists! Latitude 53 is looking for dancers, visual artists, filmmakers, performers, and anything in between for our upcoming public art project In/stall/ed, scheduled to take place on August 27, 2011.

Park(ing), an open source project from San Francisco-based studio Rebar

In/stall/ed is a public arts event that explores the public/private divide in the context of parking lots. We are looking for artists who are interested in recasting private parking stalls in the McCauley area into public installations for an afternoon.

Not only will this highlight the versatility of public spaces, it will showcase a broad range of artists and encourage people to wander the McCauley community.

The aim of the project is to explore the public/private divide in our communities and ask the question: who owns these spaces and how can people manipulate these areas through their own creative skills?

We are looking for a total of twenty artists (singular artists and collectives are both welcome) to participate in the project, and each group or artist will receive a $100 honorarium for their participation. The deadline for In/stall/ed submissions is August 1. Interested? Find out more on how to submit on our website.

Submissions at Latitude 53

We’re taking applications right now too—the deadline for our spring Main Space submissions is this weekend, and Visualeyez submissions are due in May. You’d better get to the post office!
