Creative Spaces – deadline for call for entries
January 2, 2013
The Chinese Historical Society of America announces an exciting new exhibition program for 2013. Following the success of Remnants: Artists Respond to the Chinese American Experience, CHSA has established an ongoing project called Creative Spaces to build on the concept of creating innovative interpretations of personal and community history. With this new project, we are reaching out to our creative community to carry on the spirit of Remnants. We invite artists, designers, curators and educators to submit unique ideas for interpreting and presenting history in our museum.
We are seeking proposals for interpretive art forms that respond, examine and reinvent the objects in our collection and the exhibit space in which they reside. These works may be conceptual installations, innovative museum exhibits, or any unique approach on presenting the Chinese American experience.
How to submit:
Please send the following materials to arrive no later than December 15, 2012
• Proposal describing your work and how it will be integrated into the CHSA Museum (3 pages max.)
• Resume/Biography
• Examples of art work or other creative projects you have been involved with via email to: info@chsa.org with subject line “Creative Spaces 2013” via post to: Chinese Historical Society, 965 Clay Street, San Francisco, CA 94108
Selection:
We will select 4-5 proposals, or whatever number will practically fit our budget and timetable. We expect to install all work by mid-February—around the Lunar New Year. A modest budget and artist stipend is available for each work selected.
