Proposals must be 500 words or less describing the central idea of the show. No links or images accepted. Submit your proposal on the Franchise Program page starting February 1.

For apexart- they question the show in connection to the space. Where would we want our exhibition?

Submit your proposal for an idea-driven, group exhibition to be presented anywhere in the world – outside of New York City.

Submission are 500 words outlining your idea, where it will take place, and why the idea and location are connected.

What location would be appropriate for our work??

Pradelna Bohelnice in an alternative space in Prague- an interesting space on the grounds of a mental institution. (I walked through that space as well as the mental hospital. The walls are very unpolished.)

Any other ideas? Halfway between the city of my birth and yours??

For what we've been talking about and thinking about, Pradelna Bohelnice sounds like it could be a good place to propose for this. I'm interested in intervening in a place where The Red Library was born.  But I'm not Czech and I don't know what the ramifications would be in that context. Does it matter? Let's go for it.
