I’m writing from the North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition in regards to our latest project, nbAUDIO 2011. NbPac is currently holding an Open Call for Brooklyn-based sound artists. We are inviting artists to propose an original sound installation that addresses the historical, social, and political atmosphere of North Brooklyn’s community. Additionally, we are asking the artists to identify a site in Williambsurg, Greenpoint or Bushwick, in which the piece would be installed. Attached is more information about the open call, as well as a proposal form – the deadline for applications is Monday, August 30th and the selected artist will be notified on September 15th.
Taking place this spring, nbAUDIO 2011 will be the fourth project presented by the North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition since we formed in 2009. Past projects include last summer’s kickoff with the India Street Mural Project when six local artists were chosen by an RFP process to create a series of site specific murals on India Street between West Street and the East River, celebrating Greenpoint’s rich history and the arts of North Brooklyn. In December, we presented one of the largest site-specific public art installations ever to take place in McCarren Park with Jason Krugman’s Living Objects – three LED-lit sculptures taking on a human form. Then last June we unveiled Amanda Browder’s Future Phenomena, a large-scale, fabric sculpture created by the community and blanketed the façade of a Greenpoint building from June 19-20, 2010.
