FRANKLIN FURNACE OPEN CALL TO ALL ARTISTS DEADLINE: April 1st http://www.franklinfurnace.org THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND FOR PERFORMANCE ART 2002-03 Supported by Jerome Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts, Franklin Furnace awards grants between $2,000 and $5,000 to performance artists, allowing them to produce major works anywhere in the State of New York. Artists from all areas of the world are invited to apply. THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2003 Franklin Furnace offers artists an honorarium (this year of $5,000) and a residency facilitated by Franklin Furnace, for a 2-4 month duration at a physical or online venue appropriate to your proposed work. For THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2003, we hope to continue to expand the technology available to our artists through Parsons and beyond. The residencies may take place in the Spring or Fall of 2003. Artists who are interested in developing new artwork for the Internet are encouraged to apply. See below for details on HOW TO APPLY. Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists reviews all proposals. We believe that this peer panel system allows all kinds of artists from all over the world an equal shot at presenting their work. All applicants are automatically considered for both categories of awards. Every year the panel changes, as the definition of "emerging artist," the notion of �live art on the Internet,� and the definition of "performance art" itself changes, so if at first you don't succeed, try again. Since its inception in 1985 THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND FOR PERFORMANCE ART has boosted the careers of such emerging artists as Papo Colo, Karen Finley, John Fleck, Holly Hughes, Cathy Weis, Pamela Sneed, Murray Hill, Tanya Barfield and Patty Chang. This year's esteemed selection panel consisted of artists and curators Patty Chang, Garland Farwell, Zhang Ga, Carmin Karasic, Christiane Paul and Mark Tribe. This year's Fundwinners are Tish Benson, Christine Carson, George Ferrandi, Stanya Kahn, Cary Peppermint and Tadej Pogacar. THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2002 artists are Kathleen Brandt and Brian Lonsway, Jeff Gompertz, and G.H. Hovagimyan. The full schedule and project descriptions are available on our website).

In the Public Realm is an opportunity for emerging New York artists to undertake the challenge of creating a temporary work in a public space. Up to seven emerging artists will be selected by a distinguished panel of artists, critics, and arts professionals and commissioned by the Public Art Fund to develop formal proposals for public art projects. From these proposals, the Public Art Fund will select three artists to realize their work in the coming year. Public Art Fund Inc. is a non-profit arts organization that presents the work of contemporary artists in New York's public spaces, providing alternative venues in which to create and view art. The Public Art Fund, over the past twenty years, has acted as a facilitator and advocate for artists and their work. By bringing new artworks into the public realm, the Public Art Fund provides a unique forum and support structure for artists to realize their artistic vision, while simultaneously increasing public access to contemporary art. What it is In the Public Realm is a program of the Public Art Fund designed to encourage innovative, experimental public projects by emerging artists living and/or working in New York State. Artists selected through the program will make proposals, develop their work in relation to urban conditions, and ultimately present their work in the complex arena of public life in New York City. Artists are encouraged to investigate the physical, social, and psychological nature of the urban environment throughout the diverse neighborhoods of New York City. Previous experience of working in public spaces is not essential for selection in this program. How it happens PHASE ONE February 2002 Commission Proposals In February 2002, an Advisory Committee of artists, critics, curators, and experts in contemporary art will select up to nine artists to develop formal proposals for a public art project. Artists will be selected on the basis of materials submitted (see What to Submit). The selected artists will each receive $1,000 to create a formal proposal. Investigating potential sites and communities in New York City for their proposed project, artists will develop working drawings, prepare a maquette, and present an accurate budget. PHASE TWO Summer 2002 Commission Projects In the summer of 2002, the selected artists will present their proposals to the Public Art Fund. The Public Art Fund will choose up to three projects for realization. Those artists selected to create projects will receive $7,500 towards fabrication and installation, based on the finalized project budget and an artist fee of $2,500.
