Disturbance of distance

Disturbance of distance is an open call to Houston and Austin artists to create site-specific installations in the BOX.

Box 13 Artspace is housed in a beautiful two-story brick building built in the late 1940’s. There are many interesting architectural features, including a grand wooden staircase in one of the main gallery spaces. Because of the possibilities of this atypical location, for our first juried show, we are looking for proposals that think outside the box.
