CONVERSIONs | one-night stands is a month-long art festival in April 2010 showcasing emerging and established artists at BronxArtSpace in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx, curated by Melissa Calderón. Since 2004, each CONVERSIONs presents a unique curatorial theme; CONVERSIONs | one-night stands focuses on the ephemeral nature that contemporary art is seen and experienced in the South Bronx. Under this larger theme, each evening throughout the month will present works that speak of impermanence, displaced gratification, and the nature of immediacy.

BronxArtSpace started this year, in the same space that we used to call Synthetic Zero Art Space. This year, Linda Cunningham, Mitsu Hadeishi, and a group of artists, curators and arts organizations are collaborating to create a series of events, art shows, experimental film, performance, music, readings, and classes.
