OPEN CALL – Geffen Playhouse “Art Lives Here” Program

Wednesday, May 24th, 2023

Art Lives Here 2023/24 Season Guidelines

Geffen Playhouse seeks four artists to create an original artwork to be displayed in our lobby welcoming back audiences this fall to celebrate our 2023/24 Season. We are a home for the arts, and we believe our physical space should also reflect and be representative of our ongoing commitment to diversity in our audience, productions as well as our community at large. It is our mission to create, foster and nourish an environment that is open and welcoming for all.

We’re inviting local artists to create works that bring our community together, inspired by theater experiences and reflective of our shared values. We call it “Art Lives Here.” As with our plays, we seek works of art that speak boldly, have meaningful purpose and feed the soul. A total of four artists will be chosen by a selection committee from all submissions received. Each art piece will be displayed for approximately two months in our theater lobby and featured in Playbill programs during the course of the 2023/2024 season. Join us in this endeavor.

Virtual Culture Talk @ CALTECH

Wednesday, May 24th, 2023
SUN POTENTIALS:
Creative Research with Solar Power Thursday, June 1, 2023
12:00–1:00 p.m. Dabney Hall 110 (Treasure Room) ALEX NATHANSON, Founder of Solar Power for Artists (NYC) HUNTREZZ JÁNOS, Artist (LA)   In the face of climate crisis, a growing number of artists and designers have been experimenting with incorporating solar power and other environmentally-informed methods into their creative practice. In A History of Solar Power Art and Design, Alex Nathanson examines the lineage of creative applications of photovoltaic (PV) solar power. In this talk, Nathanson will introduce research on solar sound art, wearable technology, public art, industrial design, and digital media. Huntrezz János is currently building EXTRATERRACETRILL, an off-grid infrastructure project that uses atmospheric water generation, solar panels, and other eco-technologies to support a BIPOC, Queer, and artist community in the heart of Los Angeles. János will present this project in the context of her creative work.
Alex Nathanson is a designer, technologist, artist, and educator. His work is primarily focused on exploring both the experimental and practical applications of sustainable energy technologies. He is the founder and lead designer of the education and art platform Solar Power for Artists and its partner studio, Energy Transition Design LLC. The mission of both organizations is to make sustainable energy accessible, tactile, and understandable. As a solar power designer, he has created interactive and educational projects for the Climate Museum, Solar One, and the NYC Department of Education. In collaboration with Tega Brain and Bennedetta Piantella, he co-created the Solar Protocol project. His book A History of Solar Power Art and Design was published by Routledge in 2021, and the paperback version will be released in May 2023.
Huntrezz János is a boundary-breaking Afro-Hungarian Transcorporealist woman whose work spans across mediums including architectural construction and installation, augmented and virtual realities, painting, sculpture, performance, and poetry, to name a few. János uses sharp renders, digital simulations, and anarchic vaporwave aesthetics to explore the layered nature of identity and the lived experiences of systemic oppression and exclusion. Janos uses her work to challenge preconceived notions surrounding identity, community, social infrastructure, and the intersectionality of her experiences. With her own multidimensional digital creations, Janos introduces fantastic and until recently, impossible virtual realities to ‘natural’ physical space. The Caltech-Huntington Program in Visual Culture, which is funded by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and based in the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), features new undergraduate course offerings, guest lecturers, and other programming to foster conversations between humanists and scientists. Its activities are organized by HSS and other Caltech faculty in collaboration with scholars at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens.
  Lunch provided. Please RSVP to Fran Tise (ftise@hss.caltech.edu).   https://bit.ly/CHVC2023
