Open Call
Artist(s) will be provided with a stipend, and a field of play (sports balls upon request). During the event, a referee will guide all teams through both the learning and competition of new sports. Two teams of 5 to 10 people (tbd) will compete with a running score being kept across each weekend of EAST and an ultimate team champion being determined at the end of both weekends. Sports can provide opportunity for a winner and/or lean on the esoteric and subjective success of the participant. Successful sports rules must be able to be explained or misunderstood in 2 minutes or less and played in 4 minutes max. Sports (the art show) is about camaraderie, competition, flow state, the historical significance of sports as a cultural anchor, your team, my team, winners, losers, abstractly determined international champions, and concretely determined heroes.
Participants with all abilities are welcome.
Deadline: Sept 15th
Opening: East Austin Studio Tour, Nov 11th, 12th, 18th, & 19th from 11am to 6pm
