NOTE: As this is a nightclub we are taking over, please leave bottles of fluid and flasks home. The venue must by law check bags for such items. They will be friendly but have to uphold their permits; and they’ll have drink and beer specials to keep things affordable. Note also that this venue does not accept credit cards, but has a cash machine on-site. However, to avoid stupid and unnecessary ATM service fees, bring what you need and don’t add to the financial ruin of the nation. ;)
See you Saturday for what promises to be a truly STELLAR BURNAL EQUINOX!

BRAF ScrapEden Call for Proposals!
ScrapEden SF: Request for Proposals
Composting Contraption $10,000-$15,000
Timeframe:
Proposal Due to BRAF 3/15/10,
Grant Award Announced 4/1/10
Project Completed by 6/1/10
The Black Rock Arts Foundation(BRAF), in partnership with the San
Francisco Department of the Environment is seeking artists to develop
another public art project for ScrapEdenSF, an ongoing program pairing
artists with community groups to create artworks that are designed to
inspire and motivate residents to recycle and compost more
effectively. BRAF is currently requesting proposals from San Francisco
Bay Area artists for the Composting Contraption.
com⋅post [kompost] is a combination of various
decaying organic substances that are being decomposed largely through
aerobic decomposition into a rich black soil.
con⋅trap⋅tion [kuhn-trap-shuhn] - a mechanical
contrivance; gadget; device.
Imagine inventor Rube Goldberg meeting up with biodynamic farming
pioneer Rudolf Steiner.
The Composting Contraption will be a human-powered, interactive,
kinetic artwork designed to inspire, motivate and educate San
Francisco residents to increase the practice of composting at home and
to take better advantage of the City’s green bin organics collection
programs serving the residential, commercial, and institutional
sectors.
This new work of art will travel to local festivals, street fairs,
farmers markets and schools to increase awareness of composting (and
recycling to some extent) and change the composting behavior of San
Francisco artists and residents to divert recoverable resources from
being disposed of as solid waste, in keeping with the City’s zero
waste goals. The artist is not expected to bring the contraption all
around town, but will work with a local community group to train them
on its use so they can tour it around in an educational campaign.
Materials used for this new mobile sculpture MUST primarily be made of
reclaimed, recycled or reused materials diverted from local landfills.
This artwork must educate the public about the process of composting
in a dynamic and whimsical way, while referencing the variety of ways
that the public can (and now by SF law MUST) participate in
composting, from backyard to curbside pickup.
After selection, artists will be contracted to provide:
A public art piece delivered on time.
A signed commitment to work towards the ScrapEdenSF goals.
A plan for involving the community group in the creation and
implementation of the project.
