Salon des Refusés - Sights Unseen

"Salon des Refusés - Sights Unseen" is curated by artist Stuart Keeler and presented by the Public Art Network. The exhibition seeks to recognize unrealized public art projects and discuss risk-taking in public art and the role of the artist as a cultural producer who re-imagines public space. Digital images of unrealized work are desired for presentation at the Americans for the Arts Half-Century Summit in Baltimore, Maryland, June 23–25, 2010.

Artists, Architects, Landscape Architects, Engineers, Designers, Visual Culture Practitioners and Students are eligible to submit projects which have not been realized. Works proposed between 1960 and 2010 are encouraged. Images may be of any temporary, non-permissional and/or permanent proposals/projects/visions designed for public spaces. Submissions require 3 images with the following details for each: name of artist (or collaborative), year of the proposal, materials, dimensions (H x W x D format), value (optional), and description of each image (300 words or less), including the city or agency and commissioning party if applicable.

The "Salon des Refusés" presentation will take place at "Center Stage" in the Waterfront Marriott Hotel on June 24, 2010 from 8:00pm–9:30pm. The deadline for submissions is midnight, Mountain Daylight Time on June 10, 2010.
