CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Dangerous Curve
Los Angeles, CA  USA

Live artists: short-term residencies
Live artists: non-residencies


Dangerous Curve is a Los Angeles Artists District art space that provides residencies and solo exhibits to live and visual artists, established and emerging of all ages, who are producing intelligent work ahead of the curve.

Dangerous Curve is looking for local and international live artists for either 1) non-residency acts or 2) short-term residencies (starting at one week).


The residencies culminate in a full-length (at least 45 minutes) performance of the resident, at a performance event populated with other live art or art video.  Artists in residence have access to the art space, clean of any exhibition, for rehearsing and installing, e.g., performance "sets."  The space is also a "high-end loft" with amenities, in which the artists can stay.  Note that the space may be used for some other events during the week, the details of which can be worked out on a case-by-case basis.

The non-residency artists participate in the above or in the other live art evenings scheduled throughout our season.

This does not obviate durational pieces; they just need to overlap the performance event.


We give preference to work that is, in the words of Jacki Apple, "radical content in radical form."  However, we are not interested in work presenting adolescent views of sexuality and other bodily functions, no matter how sophisticated.  We show art that is technically and conceptually of high quality, but that resonates balance in and of the basic human components: from survival, relationship, and power to heart, truth, intuition, and spirit.


Submission format: A written description and some work samples. DVDs/CDs/URLs are preferred.  We can handle slides, but not to your best advantage.


Deadline: Ongoing, but do it now!  ;-)
