Statement:

Providence, RI — People Interested in Participatory Sculpture (PIPS) is pleased to announce its third annual Provflux, a weekend-long event dedicated to artistic and social investigations in psychogeography. Part festival and part conference, it brings together visual, performance, and new media artists, along with writers, urban adventurers and the general public. Events will take place throughout Providence to explore the physical and psychological landscape of the city. Provflux 2006 will be held concurrent with the Conference for New Urbanism (www.cnuxiv.org).

PIPS is currently accepting proposals for experimental projects in contemporary urban exploration and public art. The projects can take any form, providing it engages notions of urban space and the public's interaction with it. Interventions, actions, urban installations, presentations, and any other projects of this nature will all be considered. All disciplines are encouraged to submit material.

This year, we are asking for only action-oriented work. We have decided not to host a gallery show full of past events' documentation, but instead to host performances, interventions, games, discussions, and any other events that should be presented in the urban sphere.

We're serious about getting out of the gallery and putting the show back in the streets where it belongs.
