ARTspace
West Hall Meeting Room 515A, Level 2
Open throughout the conference
ARTspace is a conference within the conference that is tailored to the interests and needs of artists but is open to all attendees. Organized by the Services to Artists Committee, it includes a large audience session space and a media lounge. ARTspace is the site of the Annual Artists’ Interviews held on Friday afternoon. Each morning begins with coffee, tea, and juice.
The Media Lounge will feature thematic programming put together by curators working in the Los Angeles area. Some highlights are a new-media program developed by LA Freewaves, a one-person media program of the work of T. Kim-Trang Tran, and an exploration of global issues in new media.
ARTexchange
CAA’s Services to Artists Committee invites artist members to participate in ARTexchange, an open forum for sharing work at the Annual Conference. ARTexchange, to be held Friday, February 27, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, is free and open to the public; a cash bar is available.
The space on, above, and beneath a six-foot table is available for each artist’s exhibition of prints, paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, and small installations; performance, sound, and spoken word are also welcome. Previous ARTexchange participants have found that this parameter sparked creative displays. Please note that artwork cannot be hung on walls, and it is not possible to run power cords from laptops or other electronic devices to outlets–bring fully charged batteries.
To participate, write to the ARTexchange coordinators with the subject heading “CAA ARTexchange.” Include your CAA member number and a brief description of what you plan to present. Please provide details regarding performance, sound, spoken word, or technology-based work, including laptop presentations. You will receive an email confirmation. Because ARTexchange is a popular venue and participation is based on available space, early applicants are given preference.
Participants are responsible for their work; CAA is not liable for losses or damages. Sales of work are not permitted.
Deadline: December 15, 2008.
