Artcite--a Windsor, Ontario, Canada artist organization that I belong to--is looking for folks to participate in this year's ARTSEEN show. Probably not many people on FLUXLIST can take advantage of this, but if you know anyone in the Windsor/Detroit area, let em know. -Allen >ARTSEEN is Artcite's annual showcase of new and experimental art works. We >are currently seeking proposals from Windsor and Detroit area artists for >inclusion in our special off-site exhibition space (former Windsor Police >Headquarters). This is >your chance to present new works (in any media, including visual art, film, >video, multi-media and performance) or works-in-progress which need that >extra bit of "breathing room"-i.e., proposals for site-specific >installations and process-oriented art projects especially encouraged. >Spread the information to other artists who may be interested in >participating!
