ISSUE’s 2012 Emerging Artists Commissions
ISSUE Project Room’s 2012 Emerging Artists Commissions will focus on transdisciplinary practices with a special attention to contemporary political, aesthetic and social concerns. This year we attempted to reach outside our normal range of focus to include a wider variety of artists working across different media. ISSUE’s curators Lawrence Kumpf and Zach Layton worked with panelists Matthew Walker, James Hoff, Howie Chen and Ulrike Muller to select this year’s commissions. We are very much looking forward to working with the applicants in the upcoming year.
ISSUE Project Room’s Emerging Artists Commission program is made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
