Outdoor Urban Screen Seen by Thousands of Daily Commuters
City Without Walls (cWOW), in collaboration with Saint Barnabas Health
Care System, NewarkWORKS, and Newark Public Schools, seeks an artist-in-residence for its Newark New Media residency, education, and
exhibition program at the intersection of new technology and contemporary art.
TRAINING + MAJOR EXHIBITION
The new media artist in residence, working with a team of high-school
apprentices, will create a major
new work of new media art that will be exhibited at a prominent Newark
venue. The artist will receive a stipend of $1,700 and an equipment/materials budget. Ten high-school students will apprentice under the artist’s supervision in ten weekly three-hour afterschool training sessions at Barringer High School’s newly equipped technology lab from mid October through December, 2009. The final artwork will be presented in June 2010 at a high-profile cWOW exhibition, possibly, at the
Prudential Center’s state-of-the-art 4,800 square-foot outdoor urban screen seen by thousands of daily commuters.
MEMBERS ONLY
Open to all cWOW members, including new members who join cWOW by the submission deadline with a minimum annual donation of $35 for individual members or $25 for students and seniors. Applicants
solicited directly by jurors or curators (if there are any for this opportunity) will receive a complimentary membership. Artist member work will become part of cWOW’s registry, and will be reviewed by every
curator for every show that you select within a year of joining.
