The Mobile Museum: A Call for Work in 2008!!
Make it,take it, Show it! Fossil fuel free and unattached to the sticky mess that goes with institutionalized cultural spaces, the Mobile Museum is ready for your work!
WHAT?
The Mobile Museum, in the spirit of open-content information resources like wikipedia and web-blogs, is becoming a more borrow-able, malleable resource!
Take it to a block near you, take it to another city- take it to your mom’s house in North Carolina!
The Mobile museum is ready to take your artwork or invention to distant locations. You make the work- you determine the place of exhibition, you take the cart to as many destinations as you like! Meet your audience- get face to face feedback – finally be able to say all you’ve wanted to in setting of your choosing. The Mobile Museum is an effort to keep creative experiences tactile and accessible!!!!
Because the distance between creators and the rest of the world has become unbearable…
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Any artists or inventor. Weight will be given to individuals whose work is difficult to place in a gallery (or typical arts space) context and whose practice shows a serious and innovative level of determination. Of specific interest are works whose content is magnified by a mobile context.
WHEN?
Show dates are available beginning the 1st June of 2008 and run to October 31st 2008. Shows can last a few days and up to a month. The project manager Ally Reeves, can help you arrange show dates and become familiar with using the bike and cart the Mobile Museum sits on. The length of shows will be dependent on the number of applicants who are approved for use of the Mobile Museum.

The Mobile Museum is also looking for destinations such as galleries, schools, festivals or benefits, etc. where people might be able to see and learn from its contents. Please ask for a current map at the cart or by using the contact form. The MM is constructing a website that will make maps easier to get to in the future.
If you have an exhibit idea or would like to the Museum to come to a destination near you please fill out this form.
