The Guest Curators / Facilitators / Evangelists are the cheerleaders
for BORG2 art. They
are charged with going out and finding new and interesting artists and
projects, and helping to facilitate them towards the playa. This is
not a position to sit in a room and wait for proposals to arrive. It
is a position to go out and beat the bushes to generate new proposals,
ideas and artists. This position is intended for a group of people with
some track record of making things happen and a unique vision that they
can bring to the event. It is likely too big of a task for a single
individual.
The Guest Curators will be pre-jurying / preparing / packaging all art funding applications for easy public consideration and voting. They will work with the Art Council to decide final funding amounts after the proposal ranking from voting, dispersement schedules, policies and contracts (to the extent they are needed) and logistics of siting and overseeing the BORG2 art on the playa.
If you are part of an established and capable group of creative agents, we encourage you to apply for the BORG2 Guest Art Curator/Facilitator/Evangelist position. Deadline for applications is Jan 5th. Election is Jan 15th. But campaigning starts now. Proposals will be posted in the order received.
Those interested in applying
should send a statement of vision, plan of action, a theme idea if you
want one, a description of who will participate from your group, artists
and art projects you hope to bring to the table, general art orchestration
ideas, art siting plans, and other ideas you find relevant and interesting.
