FIGMENT 2008 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
http://figmentnyc.org/participate/
This is a call for participation for FIGMENT this summer. Please forward this message to any people, mailing lists, blogs, newspapers, Web sites, bulletin boards, coffee tables, or skywriters that might be interested.
FIGMENT is a celebration of creative culture held on Governors Island in New York Harbor on June 27-29, 2008. It is a free, non-profit art project that is open to the public. FIGMENT was launched in July 2007 as a one-day arts event. Even in its first year, it attracted scores of art projects and over 2,800 people. This year, FIGMENT will be three days long and welcome many more projects and participants.
FIGMENT seeks to build community among artists, foster the participatory and public arts in New York City, and to demonstrate a vision for the future of Governors Island as an arts and culture destination.
Anyone can contribute an art installation, performance, activity, or other project to FIGMENT! Opportunities to participate stretch as far as your imagination! Last year, FIGMENT hosted a wide variety of creations including inflatable sculptures, group dance lessons, tree-based art installations, bathtub photo booths, roving samba bands, costumed stiltwalkers, medieval swordplay, climbable metal sculptures, and more!
Projects that can be set up outdoors are welcome aboard. It is also possible that indoor space will be available for certain projects. If you have an idea for FIGMENT and have questions about whether it's plausible, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Please note that key projects will be given placement on the island on a rolling basis. If you have a large project, a project that requires specific placement or infrastructure, please submit it as soon as possible so that we can accommodate it. Any projects proposed for Fort Jay, Castle Williams, or the Parade Grounds must be submitted by April 10.
Governors Island's rich history, green lawns, cool island breezes, and breathtaking harbor views make it a spectacular destination for a summer day. Governors Island is New York's birthplace: the Dutch first landed here in 1623. For most of our nation's history, Governors Island has been a military installation, first run by the U.S. Army and then by the Coast Guard. In January 2003, the Federal Government transferred the 172-acre island to the City and State of New York and the National Park Service. Twenty-two acres of the island are now a National Park, and the remaining 150 acres are managed by the Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation (GIPEC) – a City-State partnership. For more information about Governors Island, please see http://www.govisland.org/.
