2019 Open Call: Staging Construction
BRIEF
Sall for projects that explore construction as both a practice and a performance. Construction can seem a rather dry affair for a public installation. After all, logistics, staging, industry standards, and manual labor are not the seductive tools of design. Yet recent attention to participatory design processes, preoccupation with industrial readymades, satirization of DIY building culture, archeology of building sites, and competitions around demolition suggest that our cultural field is attending to these unseen endeavors intrinsic to the production of architecture.
SCHEDULE
Submission – Monday, January 15, 2018, 11:59PM.
BUDGET
M&A will provide $30,000 in funding for the selected project, which goes directly to material costs, fabrication, artist fees, travel and accommodations, and any additional programming envisioned by the selected team. Additional funds may be contributed by in-kind donations, sponsorships, and additional grants sourced independently by the selected project team or in collaboration with M&A. Past project budgets typically range from $30,000 to $60,000 depending on the nature of the project, number of participants, and alignment of sponsorships and extra-institutional support (secured grants, research funds, etc). If the proposed project budget exceeds $30,000, please identify anticipated sources of additional funds.
