New From our LabsApril 3 – 4: They Were Here installation by Addie Wagenknecht
They Were Here They Were Here is an installation by Addie Wagenknecht, a fellow in the production lab, installed at the Northwest corner of Clement Clarke Moore Park, located at 22nd St. and 10th Ave., Chelsea. A flock of stark, white, static two-dimensional birds inhabit a tree. The birds’ physical negatives were modeled on the actual species that once inhabited Manhattan. According to a recent Audubon Society report, 20 species of birds are declining at a rate of 68 percent a year. Stop by the park for a vision of what once was. April 4: Application online: Interactivos? @ Eyebeam
Entramado, Plaza de Luz, installation and photo by Pablo Valbuena. Interactivos? @ Eyebeam Interactivos? was initiated by the Medialab-Prado program and the Madrid City Council in 2006. The two week program is a hybrid workshop, exhibition, and seminar. This summer, Eyebeam joins Medialab-Prado in running Interactivos? as part of its annual summer workshop-based programming. Through a call for participation targeting artists, engineers, musicians, programmers, designers, architects, and hackers, Interactivos? seeks a set of projects for collective development, within a set of inter-disciplinary work groups. Once projects have been selected from the call for participation, a second call will be published for individuals to apply to become collaborators on the selected projects. Completed projects will be presented in an exhibition July 12 – August 9, at the end of the program. The program will be produced by Eyebeam staff and fellows, with the support of local community members. Please see the Call for Participation after April 4 for more details.

Cluster Magazine, Italy, featured this article on March 19: http://www.cluster.eu/2008/03/19/share-prize-2008/ April 2: Where We Are Now: Locating Art and Politics in New York CityWhere We Are Now: Locating Art and Politics in New York City | Network-Wide Meeting In October 2007 a call was circulated for a meeting of art, academic and activist institutions and individuals to discuss the merits of a coordinated strategy to raise awareness of the many art and politics discussions and projects in the city, while making an impact on the politics of NYC and beyond. One month later, more than 60 representatives from a range of institutions convened, and the Where We Are Now network was born. Our goal is to demonstrate that powerful critical voices still exist, in pursuit of global justice, agency and participation. Using the pivotal moment of the 2008 presidential election, we share a sense that the times have changed and are ours to claim. Through activities as diverse as art exhibitions, days of decentralized action, street performances and pedagogical conferences, we seek to gauge the status of the political in contemporary art, and consider how we may act as resources for one another and for communities within and beyond New York City. Network-wide meetings will be held on the first Wednesday of every month at the same location and time. April 2: Call to Artists: Windows BrooklynWindows Brooklyn Sara Jones, Andrea Wenglowskij, and Eyebeam alum Leah Gauthier are curating a show entitled Windows Brooklyn, and are inviting local artists to participate.
