OPEN CALL: Conflux 2007 proposals

Conflux is the annual New York City festival where visual and sound artists, writers, urban adventurers and the public gather for four days to explore the physical and psychological landscape of the city.

Highlights emerging artistic and tech-based interpretations of urban life by putting them into practice on the streets in real-time. Invites national and international artists to connect with the diverse communities of New York City and explore the city together. Encourages dialogue to generate new networks and strategies through the convergence of innovative and provocative creative projects. Conflux by definition is interactive, presenting projects that require a participatory audience. Festival events are free and open to the public and include lectures and panels, street games, public walking tours, workshops, tech-enabled expeditions, interactive performance, temporary public art installations and interventions, audio/video projects and more.

The festival will be held again in Brooklyn in 2007. The Williamsburg White Room, a new 2500 sq. ft. gallery space on the south side of Williamsburg, will serve as our Conflux headquarters, with events taking place in and around the gallery.
