THE RUN

THE RUN CURATED BY SARA PESCHEL AND MARIANNE VITALE MAY 25 – JUNE 1, 2002

In May 2002 White Box offers itself to the dogs.

The gallery becomes an indoor dog run, a playground of art. Dogs, trainers, canine historians, psycho-veterinarians, & dog/art enthusiasts will listen to wolves howl, be lectured on separation anxiety, parade around the arts district of Chelsea and reflect upon the ideal urban canine abode.

Exhibition includes by: Manolo, Dieter Roth & Richard Hamilton, Dennis Oppenheim, Roger Welch, Jeff Koons, William T. Meyer, Johnnie Walker & Sir Elton and Tillamook Cheddar with Bowman Hastie III.

The presentation of all entries to the First Annual New York City IDEAL URBAN DOGHOUSE DESIGN COMPETITION.

Guidelines:
• The doghouse should meet the needs of the client (urban dog) while addressing utilitarian concerns, scale and expression.

• Entries should consist of models and/or drawings as needed to illustrate the proposal (models should be no larger than 2 feet x 2 feet x 2 feet ). Please attach a written description of your submission (no longer than one page). Include contact information.

• Refrain from submitting any entries that require a monitor or special equipment for viewing.

• All entries will be displayed at White Box from 25 May through 1 June 2002 during The Run.

• The gallery space will be open to canines during this exhibition, and therefore all models should either be dogstrong or equipped with hooks to be suspended above dog height.

• With each submission, please attach a $50 entry fee (checks payable to White Box Ltd).
This fee is a tax-deductible donation that helps support our 501 (c) (3) non-profit arts organization.

• Materials will not be returned unless return postage and proper packaging is included with the submission. Submissions may be retrieved from White Box 4 – 5 June between 12 noon and 5pm only.
