{Re}HAPPENING 2014 will bring together more than eighty artists from Western North Carolina and beyond on April 5, 2014 to create and share art on the grounds of the original campus and in the spirit of Black Mountain College. Nearly thirty artist teams have been accepted to create new projects for this year’s event. In addition, many artists will have the opportunity to participate in ‘Chance Operations’ to create new collaborative artworks. Deadline: January 1, 2014
About CHANCE OPERATIONS
The Chance Operations artists call invites individual artists to apply to be part of an innovative new program for {Re}HAPPENING. Selected Chance Operations artists will create a new work in a spontaneous and collaborative way. The artists’ names are randomly selected to create teams, and each team is presented with various elements, challenges, and problems to solve. The result is a brand new and indeterminate piece. The Chance Operations projects will premier at the {Re}HAPPENING 2014.
Chance Operations projects take many risks and demonstrate elements of spontaneity, experimentation, collaboration, audience participation and transcend discipline boundaries. The final works reflect an innovative spirit and flow echoing the methodology and practices of Black Mountain College.
The {Re}HAPPENING Chance Operations artists call is open to all in the Western North Carolina region and beyond. ARTISTS OF ALL GENRES are encouraged to apply; this includes (but is not limited to) artists working in performance, sculpture, installation, multimedia, interaction, sound, spoken word, painting, photography, film, and video.
