Site Matters: The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's Artist Residency, 1997-2001
[from lmcc.net site]
From 1997 to 2001, over 140 artists set up studios in temporarily vacant space provided by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in the upper reaches of the World Trade Center's Tower 1. In an atmosphere of conceptual risk-taking, they produced a broad range of work, from panoramic cityscapes and discrete sculptural objects to physically integrated site-specific projects and new media performance. The residency was initiated to serve emerging and mid-career artists and encouraged conceptual and aesthetic experimentation. In this program retrospective, Site Matters documents an exceptional and atypical breadth of projects by some of today's significant young artists, including Stephen Vitiello, Paul Pfeiffer, Naomi Ben-Shahar, Monika Bravo, Gelatin, Patty Chang, John Pilson, Nadine Robinson, Sanford Biggers, Lucky DeBellevue, Emily Jacir, Jennie C. Jones, Kristin Lucas, Jennifer & Kevin McCoy, and Olu Oguibe. Punctuating art documentation are residents' snapshots of daily life at the World Trade Center, offering a more intimate portrait of the Twin Towers post-9/11. The residency program is currently located in the historic Equitable Building at 120 Broadway on the 8th floor, in space generously donated by Silverstein Properties. Edited by Moukhtar Kocache and Erin Shirreff.

ITP Winter Show 2004
Exhibition dates: December 19 & 20
The Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), a pioneering graduate center for the design and study of new media forms and applications in the Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, has announced its winter exhibition will take place on December 19 and 20, 2004. Featured will be approximately 100 projects by student artists and innovators including multimedia installations, physical computing and interactive design, and experimental video design works.
Entitled ITP Winter Show 2004, the exhibition will be on view Sunday, December 19 from 2 to 6 p.m. and Monday, December 20 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Tisch School of the Arts, located at 721 Broadway (at Waverly Place), 4th floor (south elevators). The exhibition is free and open to the public. Visitors may be asked to show a photo identification to enter the building. For additional information, call 212.998.1800; or visit http://itp.nyu.edu/show.
An oversized Greenwich Village loft houses the computer labs, rotating exhibitions, and production workshops that comprise ITP. Founded in 1979 as the first graduate education program in alternative media, ITP has grown into a living community of technologists, theorists, engineers, designers, and artists uniquely dedicated to pushing the boundaries of interactivity in the real and digital worlds. A hands-on approach to experimentation, production, and risk-taking make this hi-tech fun house a creative home not only to its 230 students, but also to an extended network of the technology industry's most daring and prolific practitioners.

CALL FOR FRESH WORKS
Submission deadline: December 17, 2004
Exhibition dates: April 21-June 4, 2005
Location: Media Lounge at the New Museum of Contemporary Art
Fresh- is a special showcase opportunity for emerging New York-based
artists working in all aspects of the digital medium. This exhibition
evolved from the successful Digital Culture Evening Fresh of Fall 2003, which acted as a critical development workshop for selected graduates of interdisciplinary design programs with a focus on new media. Fresh was organized in collaboration with independent curator Michele Thursz and Mark Tribe, Founder of Rhizome.org.
We invite submissions from artists producing the most engaging digital work and welcome a wide range of projects from spatial/architectural installations and networked objects to playful games and websites. Cross-disciplinary approaches are encouraged. The exhibition aims to provoke critical discussion about innovation and current movements in the field that blur boundaries, for example, between art/architecture/new media, or that result in new forms of artistic production.
Please consider these following factors for your installations. The
projects should:
o Take the factor of public display into account, as the work should be designed for exhibition in the Media Lounge. (Please see the floor plan in the appendix).
o Provide detailed instructions regarding the installation and
operation of the work. Depending on the nature of the submissions, the exhibition will either take the form of a group show or two to three separate installations between April-June.
What the New Museum will provide:
o Necessary PC based systems, audio and video equipment and the cabling for the installation. Please refer to the current technical capabilities (please contact transmission@newmuseum.org for up to date information)
o Various computers Pentium III 750Mhz, 256MB Ram, 32 MB screen card, sound card, dvd player, windows 98 or 2000 Pentium 4 1.2 GHz, 256MB Ram, 32 MB screen card, sound card, dvd player, windows 98, 2000 or XP
