Gravity Defiance

「重力への抵抗」をテーマに、来春に予定しているインスタレーションのアイディアを募集。M&Aとは建築とランドスケープの実験的なリサーチセンターで、芸術やランドスケープ、建築のユニークな屋外展示を行っている。特に、サスティナブルな発想や再生可能なエネルギーなどを奨励している。今回は、物理的宇宙における最後の砦、そしてほとんど全ての構造物にとって絶対的な目標である「重力」に焦点を当てている。テーマの解釈は自由、リサイクル可能で、新技術や新素材を取り入れたアイディアが求められる。

Description
M&A, an experimental architecture and landscape research center, is calling for proposals for its next installation. The unique outdoor exhibit space in Los Angeles is dedicated to pushing new and underused ideas for art, landscape and architecture into view. We encourage the use of sustainable resources, renewable energy and smart technologies. The successful proposal will expand the application of materials beyond what typical commercial and residential project limits allow towards an inspiring structural implant that challenges and welcomes anyone.
We are looking for projects that have a cradle-to-cradle design approach, incorporate new technologies, materials or techniques - and will benefit the artist's research into the durability of their materials and processes by providing a valuable extended but temporary duration in the elements and within the public's grasp.
