For the foreseeable future, I have made the curatorial decision to exhibit work by people who identify as trans or non-binary (acknowledging that for some people, these identities overlap). The work exhibited at Lease Agreement does not have to be about these identities: queer, trans, and non-binary artists are often pigeon-holed into only making/exhibiting work that is related to their identities, which is not my intention. Lease Agreement is seeking conceptually rigorous artworks, exhibitions, and events.
If you do not identify as trans or non-binary, I would still love to talk to you because I am always open to hearing ideas, and perhaps I can find or share other opportunities or collaborations.
Exhibition proposals for solo and group exhibitions, screenings, events, or other programming are accepted and reviewed on an ongoing basis. Send proposals to leaseagreementgallery@gmail.com.
Opportunities:
Lease Agreement
A gallery in a large garage, in the Seminole Heights neighborhood of Tampa, FL. Images coming soon. See the About page for more information.
Front Facing
Front Facing is a Lease Agreement exhibition space as a novelty license plate on the front bumper of curator Adam Farcus’s Toyota Yaris. Artworks/plates will be printed digitally and installed on the front of the car for at least a month and until the next artwork/plate is exhibited. Works that are not digital images which can be printed on aluminum will be considered. Lease Agreement will retain all plates printed for Front Facing in an archive at the gallery.
Image Specifications
Artwork submissions files should be 12” x 6”, with a ¼” bleed, at 300dpi. All attempts to keep the entire image will be made, but some of the bleed may be lost in printing and trimming.
Context
There are no laws in Florida restricting what can be displayed on the front plate area of a vehicle. The vehicle the work will be displayed on is a bright blue 2017 Toyota Yaris with a standard Florida back license plate (white background, light green state silhouette, and two oranges on a branch) with the phrase “Sunshine State” and personalized with the text “LIGHGHT.” This text is a reference to and version of Aram Saroyan’s poem, lighght.
