some art news...
Here is a couple things that sparked my interest while looking at artnet news:
CASH FOR CURATORS
The Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation in Meriden, Conn., is looking for adventurous curatorial talent. The foundation awards an exhibition grant of up to $125,000 to U.S.-based curators to help realize "a strong thematic exhibition concept that challenges the boundaries of contemporary art" at museums and nonprofit organizations. The application deadline is Apr. 10, 2006; for details, see www.tremainefoundation.org
ART IN THE DORMS AT MIT
For the new school year, the List Visual Arts Center at MIT has has kicked off their "Student Loan Art Program," a lottery that allows students to borrow artworks for their dorm rooms from the center’s collection. Possible décor includes works by Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Miró, Takashi Murakami, Nam June Paik, Cindy Sherman, Nancy Spero and Rirkrit Tiravanija. Competition among students is reported to be particularly hot for images from Berenice Abbott and Louise Bourgeois. The collection is currently on view at the List, Sept. 6-18, 2005, so that students can make their informed pick -- but with over 1,000 clamoring for about 300 works, chances are less than 1 in 4. For the rest, it will be back to the campus poster shop.
