Call for Artists: A4 O2O Project: Open to Instruction-based Art

CICA Museum invites artists to submit instruction-based works for consideration for the exhibition at CICA Museum in April and May, 2016. Each work will be exhibited for 1-2 weeks. We are open to instruction-based art, process art, and game art, utilizing A4 paper and a printer.

About A4 O2O Project:
Instruction-based art can be traced back to Conceptual Art in the 1960s, including Yoko Ono’s instruction paintings, Alan Kaprow’s happening scores, and Sol Lewitt’s wall drawings. Now, in our digital age, instructions have become the fundamental structures of our systems: a chain of commands is instantly produced, and it becomes visible, tactile, and ubiquitous. We aim to be an “O2O (Online to Offline) system” that can produce “instructions” as art and make them come alive in our online and offline spaces.
