Call for Artistic Proposals for BIOdiverseCITY (due 8pm thur 18 Mar 2010)

Biodiversity: the diversity (number and variety of species) of plant and animal life within a region.

2010: The United Nations International Year of BIODIVERSITY.

BIOdiverseCity: a group exhibition of contemporary art featuring artistic explorations of the biodiversity, and issues of biodiversity, in the environments that we traverse in the routines of our daily lives. From the parks and waterways, streets and laneways, to the backyards and neighbourhoods, no stone will be left unturned (figuratively speaking) as artists engage in the webs and the intertwinement of life in our urban worlds.

This exhibition has been endorsed and supported by the United Nations International Year of Biodiversity (IYB) and will be featured on the IYB website and a selection of works and documentation going on to be displayed at UN conferences in Nagoya, Japan and New York, USA in 2011.
