A CATALYST for CONTENT and CONVERGENCE
Based in the Soho arts district of New York, Location One is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to fostering new forms of creative expression and cultural exchange through exhibitions, residencies, performances, public lectures and workshops. Traditionally focused on technological experimentation and new media, Location One’s residencies and programs have favored social and political discourse and dialogue, and acted as a catalyst for collaborations. With a unique environment providing individualized training, support, and guidance to each artist, as well as exposure for their creations and collaborations, Location One continues to nurture the spirit of experimentation that it considers the cornerstone of its mission.
We offer intensive curatorial expertise, technical guidance and creative resources, tailored to each fellow’s needs. We encourage participants to create new work and to exhibit or perform their work in our three exhibition spaces (in New York’s SoHo district). We invite them to share their thinking with the intellectual and artistic community in New York and – digitally – everywhere else.
Location One has forged an extensive network in political, academic and cultural communities in New York and abroad. Program participants have come from 33 countries so far in a network that extends throughout Asia, western and eastern Europe and Latin America. It is an ever-expanding network of people who care about artists and how they grow; who think that arts and creative expression matter deeply to the development of human culture. They understand the importance of creating new perceptions and critical thinking as technology and globalization transform our world.
Artists and thinkers take for granted the fluid boundaries of knowledge in the twenty-first century. They are the vanguard of human thought. They shape the models for the way we experience the contemporary world and images of its future. We at Location One have worked for 13 years to foster experimental art and critical dialogue between the people of the United States and the international community. The insight and vision of our fellows gives us hope for the future.
