OPEN CALL: CURATORIAL PROPOSALS, DEADLINE 6/30

Application deadline: June 30th, 2014.
REVERSE invites curators to submit proposals for an exhibition of contemporary art in our 1000 sq ft space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. REVERSE is a multidisciplinary workspace and art gallery with an emphasis on new and experimental forms of expression. We are looking for curators with a vision that coincides with the gallery’s mission of providing an engaging space that fosters innovation and exploration. As REVERSE seeks to be a platform for emerging artists to produce and present their work, as well as a site of sustained dialogue with the public, we are open to curatorial proposals that draw from a wide range of artistic practices. Strong proposals will be clear, concise and engaging while presenting innovative ideas that show a solid understanding of the spirit of REVERSE. We encourage you to visit our gallery website, review our exhibition history and consider the gallery floor plan before submitting a proposal. Curator must contact potential artists prior to their inclusion in the proposal, to assure interest and availability.
Submissions will be reviewed twice a year. The deadline for the next application cycle is June 30th, 2014. Applicants will be contacted with a decision from the REVERSE committee within six weeks of the deadline.
