Disjecta is giving it away. When I first read this, I kind of couldn’t believe it.
The way I understand this, we’re going to vote on giving an artist or a curator a show at Disjecta at the next Art Spark which is going to be held at Disjecta (8371 N Interstate) on March 18 from 5-7 PM. Anyone can show up no later than 5 PM with a one page synopsis of a project + a page of images (two pages max). I’m fuzzy on the mechanics, but somehow, “The Art Spark audience will review proposals at the event and award one artist the opportunity to show at Disjecta. The three finalists will make a direct appeal to the audience.”
Sponsored by RACC, Art Spark is a monthly happy hour gathering of Portland’s arts community that each month features a presenter who does a quick little something at around 6. This is the most insane little something any presenter has done so far. Usually it’s a slide show or talk or something. Of course we’re also celebrating Portland2010, but the awesome of that is going to pale momentarily in comparison to this horse race. Or not. I guess it all depends on who shows up to the party, eh?
Oh, and I’m kind of dying to know who penned this final from the Art Spark website: “Don’t be shy; every time is a practice of rife greatness, come on give it a try, stop by!”
All artists must attend the Art Spark event and be ready to present their project to the audience if chosen. This one-time only event offers artists a direct route to obtaining an exhibition at Disjecta. Don’t miss it! Individual artists or curated group shows encouraged to apply. Work in all media accepted.
