The Feast: RFP For ABSOLUT Installation<\/p>\n

Background \u2013 Since 2008, The Feast Conference has been at the forefront of Social
\nInnovation, convening entrepreneurs, radicals, doers and thinkers who are revolutionizing the
\nway things work for the betterment of humanity. We believe that change happens when
\nanyone is empowered to re-imagine how something might be better and seizes the
\nopportunity to realize that vision. Over two days, we bring together extraordinary people from
\nacross disciplines to develop creative solutions to societal challenges; the challenges we will
\nconfront this year are Health, Education & Veterans. The Feast Conference 2013 will be
\ntaking place in New York City at Center 548 October 16-18.<\/p>\n

\nsecond floor of Center 548 will be transformed into The Pavilion, where we physicalize the
\ninnovative ideas of The Feast conference\u2014translating words into experiences and activating
\ninsights through artwork. The space will be inhabited throughout the days on October 17-18
\nby 400 conference attendees. This participatory space comes to life on the final evening of
\nthe conference when we open the space to the public and celebrate our work with a giant
\ndinner called The Feast Worldwide NYC.<\/p>\n

Call for Submissions \u2013 In the spirit of cooperation and innovation, The Feast Conference is
\ncollaborating with ABSOLUT to provide artists the opportunity to showcase their creative
\naccomplishments in a large exhibition hosted at The Pavilion on October 17-18. This open
\ncall will emphasize the social, sustainable, and communal definition of art and how its
\noutreach pushes and inspires change to build a brighter future from the bottom up.<\/p>\n

One artist will be selected to create an installment piece that conveys what it means to
\n\u201cTransform Today,\u201d breaking the boundaries of art and invoking creative risk-taking into our
\nlives. A reminder that we can all transform our present and future if we adapt a daring spirit
\nand use creativity to stretch everyday reality from the mundane to the extraordinary. The
\npiece should foster an understanding of innovation in an experiential way. This piece will
\nserve as the focal point of the space and must involve a component of participatory
\ninteraction\/co-creation by the audience. The installation must comprise of three pieces, each
\nserving as a visual backdrop for the three designated challenge areas for the conference
\nbreakout sessions. During the breakout sessions, as conference attendees collaborate and
\ndecide which challenge they want to tackle, your piece will invite attendees to interact with it
\nand ultimately finalize their challenge teams and ideas, under the guidelines set forth by the
\nartist. The piece will also be available for public (non-conference attendees) interaction for a
\ndesignated time frame. The three pieces can fall under one thematic, and could possibly
\ninclude corresponding variations of each other (ex: varied colors or geometric shapes).<\/p>\n
