As part of the exhibitions 2020 application process, artists are asked to submit a three paragraph exhibit proposal summary for either one or two exhibits. The summary can include up to two embedded images in the PDF. It should include an estimated total budget. Budgets can be up to $10,000, inclusive of all artist fees, travel, hardware, software fabrication, and installation costs. For the current application, budget detail is not required. Details of budget will come in the second phase.
The review committee will select artists that best meet the requirements based on the submitted information. The following criteria will be examined:
- Quality of the artist’s past work, both aesthetic and technical, as represented by the media submissions
- Experience of the artist in creating interactive artworks
- Experience of the artist in successfully designing, fabricating, and completing public artworks that are highly durable and robust – on time and within budget
- The artist’s training, education, and artist statement
- Quality of the proposed interactive exhibit and alignment with MOXI’s mission and audience
