Project For Empty Space's second Iteration opens at our site 181 Stanton Street, NYC, on September 13th, 2011. Please join us anytime between 2pm-8pm to explore the installation. We also hope you can celebrate with us at our reception which will be held from 6pm-8pm at a local bar (TBD).
Our current Artist-In-Residence, Alex Callender, is creating an installation which focuses around dislocation, and the duality of absence and presence in ecosystems, as our present environmental crisis becomes more persistent and our ability to sustain the need of populations more fragile. Callender uses deer as agents that offer a narrative about change. Deer populations exist on the periphery of our expansion in this country and their habitation and population are often tethered to the ebb and flow of our development, expansion and industrialization dictating where and how they live and what they adapt to. This same precarity haunts many of the world’s inhabitants. Once, they were the occupants of this area, now us, and at point some in the future other entities will presume the main narrative in this given space.
We are also excited about our twin space that has opened in Bogota, Colombia. Please follow the updates of the project at http://pesbogota.cero29.org.
