Home now means both confinement and refuge. We are palpably alone, or we are in an unnaturally endless engagement with whomever we share a space. We are making masks, we are staring at our screens, we are doing nothing. We peer out our windows with both longing and apprehension. We probably all spend more time in the bathroom, which for some is our only escape. This is our new normal. Click on each image to enlarge, and learn more about its creator and context.

Could it be the stories we tell ourselves and each other — particularly stories that resist easy answers, that inhabit intermediary and uncertain spaces, that hold us in the productive discomfort of doubt?&nbsp; The artists in Leaking Collections insert ambiguous narratives into the digital environments that dictate our collective memory and experiences, combining material from seemingly disparate sources to propose new and disruptive ways of envisioning stories beyond the frameworks built by tech corporations.

As we have neither a commercial nor an academic agenda, we endeavor to support projects with an unusual vision that might not otherwise find a home. We are interested in challenging artists to think like curators, and curators to think like artists. 601Artspace is connected to an extensive collection of contemporary art that we invite curators and artists to explore and draw upon as a resource. We offer a minimum stipend of $5000 to curators we select, intended as a compensation for their work. Additional funds are granted based on the scope of the proposal. Exhibition costs will be covered separately. This stipend takes into account the extensive amount of research that goes into a curatorial proposal, as well as the work required to present an outstanding exhibition. We expect curators to work closely with our staff and be actively involved in the entire exhibition process, from coordinating with artists and galleries to developing materials and programming for the exhibition. Exhibitions typically run for 2-3 months. We ask curators to develop at least two programming events to complement the exhibition. Submissions are reviewed several times a year. Our most recent open call is closed. A new open call deadline will be announced in early 2026.&nbsp; Selected curators will be invited to meet with the 601Artspace team to discuss their submissions, and will be given access to an online database of our contemporary art collection. We consider proposals to be idea-driven starting points, and expect that the exhibition will evolve and be finalized in conversation with the 601Artspace team. We recommend looking at the archive of exhibitions on our website as a resource. Submissions are preferred in the following form: 1. Several paragraphs describing the theme and approach of the exhibition. Questions we often ask are: What makes this exhibition timely? How does it differ from what we are seeing at other venues? What is at stake? 2. A short bio of the curator/curators. Artists, even those without curatorial experience, are encouraged to apply. 3. A selection of artwork being proposed or considered, with explanations if appropriate. These images should give us a clear sense of the curatorial vision, but do not need to represent a final or complete list of works. Submissions should be sent in one PDF to proposals [at] 601artspace.org. Please put “Proposal -Your Name” in the subject line, and include how you heard about the call in the body of your email. You will be contacted by 601Artspace if your proposal is being considered for an exhibition. https://601artspace.org/Current Sun, 03 May 2020 15:56:59 +0000 601Artspace https://601artspace.org/Current Friends and Family&nbsp; Susan Hamburger Kwang Min Kim Shaun Leonardo Regina Parra Emily Roz Zorawar Sidhu Bob Szantyr Kelsey Tynik Gabriela Vainsencher The final installment in this series of exhibitions is a love letter to the community of talented artists we feel lucky to know and work with. Some have exhibited with us in the past, or are slated for exhibitions in the future. Some support us behind the scenes. All responded to our call for submissions with powerful and personal work that resonates with us right now. This moment of anxiety and isolation has made clear how important connection and community are, and we are grateful for all of you.&nbsp;.&nbsp; <img width="1012" height="746" width_o="1012" height_o="746" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eb2a8ed79a7e0ddab55a6c93cf25cf2696ac2a2d86d646de3dd136a87567bc0e/Screen-Shot-2020-04-28-at-11.33.29-AM.png" data-mid="69481185" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eb2a8ed79a7e0ddab55a6c93cf25cf2696ac2a2d86d646de3dd136a87567bc0e/Screen-Shot-2020-04-28-at-11.33.29-AM.png" /> <img width="2346" height="2346" width_o="2346" height_o="2346" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f06a03bb6da4ef6da01cf6e6f53f57a29d30f231afcb9f93ed25de4fdea4e4da/IMG_5447.jpg" data-mid="69481191" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f06a03bb6da4ef6da01cf6e6f53f57a29d30f231afcb9f93ed25de4fdea4e4da/IMG_5447.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="888" width_o="1200" height_o="888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/00a56cb593ae3020c194a95104ef9b7c9dc8307ee44e24b3e3dfb207625347f0/EmilyRoz_SkinnyLegs_18x24_oilwoodpanel_2011.jpg" data-mid="69481182" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/00a56cb593ae3020c194a95104ef9b7c9dc8307ee44e24b3e3dfb207625347f0/EmilyRoz_SkinnyLegs_18x24_oilwoodpanel_2011.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/da91f589111ff6c45829912d65f244793cc1ef2ecee9a91a7dbc85d434b75f75/IMG-1959-1.JPG" data-mid="69481186" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/da91f589111ff6c45829912d65f244793cc1ef2ecee9a91a7dbc85d434b75f75/IMG-1959-1.JPG" /> <img width="1290" height="844" width_o="1290" height_o="844" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d83bdf3eda955923002c5fa04d739175a0169e3806f88f854cc429d89e882378/Screen-Shot-2020-04-28-at-12.55.58-PM.png" data-mid="69481188" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d83bdf3eda955923002c5fa04d739175a0169e3806f88f854cc429d89e882378/Screen-Shot-2020-04-28-at-12.55.58-PM.png" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c7aa2afe80b367d0b8ae9a4d52d03f71d94e3aa12dfd7fc94cd0c39d433f7b1f/There-s-a-Mouse-in-my-House.jpeg" data-mid="69481189" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c7aa2afe80b367d0b8ae9a4d52d03f71d94e3aa12dfd7fc94cd0c39d433f7b1f/There-s-a-Mouse-in-my-House.jpeg" /> <img width="897" height="1131" width_o="897" height_o="1131" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6d78563909afb1eb4fa816215635868e4bd21bc8da49d020d9342e00a5405412/detail.jpg" data-mid="69481190" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/897/i/6d78563909afb1eb4fa816215635868e4bd21bc8da49d020d9342e00a5405412/detail.jpg" /> <img width="805" height="1200" width_o="805" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d6aa8c1f82537e17d2d745b00364ef22a5d7f085f95a876804d5904b88ce634/4.jpg" data-mid="69481180" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/805/i/5d6aa8c1f82537e17d2d745b00364ef22a5d7f085f95a876804d5904b88ce634/4.jpg" /> <img width="2870" height="1614" width_o="2870" height_o="1614" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a19b73ce2f78636c57f6000102a2113d1e2f25dade4d3fed8a8e3f8df7119a38/BobSzantyr_Birdsong_Still_2.jpg" data-mid="69481181" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a19b73ce2f78636c57f6000102a2113d1e2f25dade4d3fed8a8e3f8df7119a38/BobSzantyr_Birdsong_Still_2.jpg" /> https://601artspace.org/About Tue, 14 Aug 2018 22:36:27 +0000 601Artspace https://601artspace.org/About 601Artspace partners with artists, curators and other not-for-profit organizations to produce unconventional exhibitions, talks, film screenings and special projects within a non-commercial context.

Multi-instrumentalist and composer Jay Rodriguez and composer, percussionist, and producer Genji Siraisi will activate Vásquez's work through a live performance that brings breath, water, and resonance into dialogue. Drawing on a wide range of wind instruments—including Colombian gaitas, shakuhachi, ney, bansuri, bass clarinet, and African mbiras, kalimbas, and sansas—the artists will engage with Vásquez's amphibian instruments as equal collaborators. Together, they will create an evolving soundscape where rivers, air, memory, and ancestral lineages converge, inviting the audience to experience listening as a shared practice across cultures, species, and landscapes.The event will begin with a screening of a short audiovisual essay directed by Leonel Vàsquez about the Bogotá River, exploring water as memory, sound, and living matter. Vàsquez invites us to listen to the river as we would a living being whose voice persists despite centuries of environmental degradation. About the Artists Jay Rodriguez (Hernán Ramiro Rodríguez-Sierra) is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and sound designer whose work spans jazz, experimental music, and global musical traditions. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, at the mouth of the Magdalena River, Rodriguez performs on an expansive family of wind instruments, including Colombian gaitas, flauta de millo, Egyptian kawala, Arabic ney, Japanese shakuhachi, Hindi bansuri, bass clarinet, flute, and electronic wind controller. A co-founder of Groove Collective, he has collaborated with artists including Elvis Costello, Ray Barretto, Guru, DJ Premier, the Gil Evans Band, Wu-Tang Clan, Chucho Valdés, Prince, Celia Cruz, Marc Ribot, and Fred Wesley. A Grammy-nominated artist, he is also the founder and Artistic Director of Sound System Culture, a nonprofit dedicated to activating communities through immersive performance, education, and multimedia storytelling. Genji Siraisi is a composer, drummer, percussionist, and producer whose practice explores the transformative potential of sound as a bridge between humanity and the natural world. A founding member of Groove Collective and Grammy-nominated musician, Siraisi has performed and recorded with artists including Tupac Shakur, Curtis Mayfield, Pharoah Sanders, Ramsey Lewis, the Last Poets, and Sugar Hill Gang. For this performance, he plays a collection of mbiras, kalimbas, and sansas gathered by his father over several decades. These instruments, carrying both personal and cultural histories, become vessels for memory, repair, and continuity, resonating with the exhibition's meditation on rivers as living archives and sites of renewal.
