and is currently seeking proposals for events and occurrences on a rooftop in lower Manhattan. The rooftop sits upon a 3-story building that has been slated for demolition within the next 4 years - part of a development plan to raise the entire block to make way for a large office tower. Within this window of time, we are looking to provide a conduit for a series of projects that in some manner address the context of the site.

The rooftop sits above one corner of a busy downtown intersection, and is flanked by two taller structures whose brick surfaces are visible from the surrounding streets. It is located within area threaded by dense traffic flows and saturated by large-scale advertisements. Not really a public space (but by no means private), the site offers a broad range of conditions to explore: from seams of publicity and privacy within contemporary urban space, to conditions of location and allocation within contemporary real-estate markets, to a comparative analysis of the aromas and timbres of automobile exhaust systems, for example. What is sought is work that seeks to engage the situation and conditions of the specific locale of the site itself - be they physical, social, material, psychological, perceptual, legal, political, economic or otherwise. All proposals will be considered.

All inquiries should be addressed to Mark Shepard via mshepard@andinc.org.
