Project For Empty Space will present it’s second cycle at 181 Stanton Street in the Fall of 2011. This year curators Jasmine Wahi and Meenakshi Thirukode hope to further the involvement of the community with the project by bringing in an installation artist who will create work based on, and influenced by, the local neighborhood and culture of the Lower East Side.
In 2010, Project For Empty Space at 181 Stanton Street was open only to New York City based artists who had a commentary to make on their city. This year the Project invites artists from around the world to apply in the hopes that PES not only exposes the community to contemporary installation but also sparks a larger dialog about insider and outsider perspectives of neighborhood.
As in past years artists must not only be comfortable with their process being open to the viewers, but also open to inviting suggestions, feedback, questions, and criticism from residents of the Lower East Side. This project is meant to be collaborative in the sense that the installation is informed by both the artist and the environment that influences him or her.
