CALL FOR PROPOSALS 2010


Announcing Le Petit Versailles

CALL FOR PROPOSALS 2010

Submission Postmark Deadline is January 1, 2010.

Le Petit Versailles 2010 Season - Call for Proposals.

LPV was created in 1996 by Allied Productions and other neighborhood members as a GreenThumb public garden located at 346 East Houston St. @ Avenue C in the East Village. It is volunteer based and is dedicated to preserving the vitality of NYC greenspace through the arts, broadening & enriching the general public with performances, screenings, workshops and similar activities.

We present 6 months of public events May- November with music & film series, visual art exhibitions and workshops. We are looking for unusual ideas that address the environment, social and progressive issues and the site specific nature of the garden itself. Temporary installations, performances, films, workshops in any discipline are desired. Exhibitions must include works that can withstand the rigors of nature.

We are also on the list of available sites for the community service proponent of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship Program. Target audiences and communities include queer, people of color, gardeners, local neighborhood residents, artists and activists from around the world.

"1+1: Paraphrasing Gogol (You and Me and the Garden of Eden)"


OCTOBER 24, 2009 @ 8pm.

1+1: Paraphrasing Gogol
(You and Me and the Garden of Eden)"
by Abby Donovan

The artist, a phrase from Wittgenstein, her fishing pole, and an assistant.

Abby Donovan is interested in the urgency and absurdity of what she thinks of as necessarily temporary and site-specific constructions of meaning. The probable pause of materiality. Hery practice includes actions, performances, and material constructions. Currently teaching at the University of Delaware, Donovan’s most recent projects include: upcoming in November 2009, the presentation “Transmissions from Another World: Artist Apparitions in the Age of Mobile Videocasting” as part of MOBILEFEST, Museu da Imagem e do Som, Sao Paulo, Brazil; in December 2009 the construction/performance Which I Have Made (Attempting Necromancy with Wm. Blake) at the European Ceramic Work Centre (.ekwc) in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands; and in September 2009 “THESE THE HEAVENS OF MY BRAIN,” a performance in the playground as part of the 13th Annual DUMBO Art Under the Bridge Festival in Brooklyn, NY.
