Call for Design Proposals: "Curtains"

Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: Center for American Architecture and Design, The University of Texas at Austin
Deadline: 03/14/13

CURTAINS is an event designed to explore the use of fabrics in art and architecture—not in the form of
rigid tensile structures, nor in cladding or upholstery, but in their more relaxed, natural forms: curtains associated with windows, but also defining and activating space, billowing overhead, catching and using wind, creating shade, diffusing light, holding color in their folds, filtering views, absorbing sound, and making theater of the everyday. This is an invitation to artists and architects to design and propose installations that demonstrate the functional, transformative, and evocative powers of curtains and affiliated fabric objects.

Registration deadlines: January 14 (early) and February 14, 2013. Proposal deadline March 14, 2013. CURTAINS is scheduled for October 18, 2013 at UT Austin, with keynote addresses by Christo and Petra Blaisse.
