Project Title: Implementation of Site-Specific Public Art for Life Science
Facility at Clemson University, Clemson, SC
Atelier InSite, which administers Public Art at Clemson University, is pleased to announce a Request for Qualifications for the creation of Site- Specific Public Art for the new Life Science Facility. This state-of-the-art, 100,000 sq. ft. facility has been specifically designed to promote collaboration among the many scientific research entities inhabiting the building. Several sites inside and outside the building have been identified that encourage the implementation of 2D, 3D and or digital/time based artwork.
Project Budget: $120,000 for the design, fabrication, engineering and installation of 1-3 artworks depending on project scope.
RFQ Deadline: Received by Monday, April 15, 2013. No exceptions. Refer to application procedures at www.callforentry.org.
Description: The Life Science Facility at Clemson University is a new
laboratory complex designed for the purpose of developing new scientific
research. “Clemson's vision for the building is to develop nationally
recognized programs of distinction in life science biology focused on animal
systems.” The primary functional goals for the facility are to have a building
that supports scientific research activities and engages students via training
and education.
Atelier InSite seeks professionally qualified artist(s)/artist teams to submit an RFQ for consideration and potential selection. Selected artist(s)/artist teams will demonstrate an ability and interest in engaging in site-specific public art. To obtain more specific information about the project and to submit an RFQ please visit www.callforentry.org
Sites for the Artwork: Atelier InSite has identified potential sites for artwork in and outside of the Life Science building. Please visit www.atelierinsite.com for details regarding potential sites for artwork.
Facility Program: Clemson University has built an innovative, state-of-the- art facility to house Life Science research endeavors. Among many unique features, the most prominent aspect of this establishment is a re-visioning of the way research is typically conducted. Instead of performing separate and highly compartmentalized studies, the researchers will be encouraged to collaborate with each other via an open architectural structure that physically links the labs. With this fusion of research, Clemson University is challenging the scientific community to make progress by thinking in new, unconventional ways.
Project Details: Artwork implemented for the project will be reflective of, and not independent of, the qualities and attributes of the Life Sciences Building and its internal programming. All artwork will reflect multiple aspects of the Life Sciences Program including the research areas and will acknowledge a wide range of interpretations; literally, abstractly and otherwise considered. Atelier InSite is of equal mind that projects will be determined via inclusion of the individuals and departments impacted by the artwork within the building. The artwork must not in any way interfere with the daily operations of the Life Sciences Facility, but should compliment it. The artwork must not pose potential harm to visitors or inhabitants in or outside of the Life Sciences Facility.
