STIMULUS: Artists and Models Affair #22
HALLWALLS CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
ARTISTS & MODELS 2010
....a "STIMULUS" for the rest of us....
Saturday, May 1, 2010, 9pm to 2 am Rock Harbor Yard, 57 Tonawanda Street Buffalo, NY
Hallwalls is currently accepting proposals from visual artists for temporary, one-night installations to be a featured element of Stimulus. Only a limited number of installations will be included so preference will be given to the dynamic, the compelling, the arresting, the creatively deranged, and the thematically apt.
In the past 21 incarnations of Hallwalls' Artists & Models Affair, a multitude of Buffalo sites have served as the locus for temporary artistic expressions and controlled insanity: the Broadway Market, abandoned factories, warehouses, auto showrooms, roller rinks, deserted downtown malls and department stores, the Tri-Main Center, and the Buffalo Convention Center. This year's event—officially, the 22nd version of A&M—will take place at Rock Harbor Yard, conveniently located a few minutes from Buffalo State College and Elmwood Village. As always, our site for A&M represents a location, a state of being, a condition, an apparition, a temporary psychosis, an inevitably, a breeding ground for frivolity.
