The University of Maryland Public Art Project announces a national
competition called INTERPLAY. Interplay blends several
objectives: to create a dynamic environment for public and social
engagement, to serve as a contemplative place for individuals to
experience contemporary art, and to embrace the scholarly spirit
of a distinguished institution of higher education and research.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) has been issued, inviting experienced artists and artist/design teams to develop site-specific art for the University of Maryland College Park campus.
The work will be an integral part of a renovated outdoor courtyard, a prominent public space adjoining several of the buildings in the College of Arts and Humanities. Three individual projects at $150,000 each, or a design that utilizes the entire space as one concept for the total budget of $450,000, will be considered. There may be an opportunity to incorporate an existing water feature. The completed installation of the winning artwork(s) is anticipated by February 2010 with a dedication ceremony in April 2010.
For additional submission details, or any other questions pertaining to this project, contact Paula Mandelman at publicart@umd.edu.
