Art Alliance Austin Temporary Outdoor Gallery Space 3
International Ideas Competition 2010
Objective
The third annual Temporary Outdoor Gallery Space Ideas Competition (TOGS 3) enhances the global dialogue between art and architecture while offering emerging professionals in the fields of architecture and design the opportunity to garner international attention.
Purpose
This Ideas Competition generates innovative proposals for a temporary outdoor structure that will function simultaneously as an exhibition space and as an architectural exhibition.
TOGS™ challenges the visual and conceptual boundaries of the outdoor gallery space, transforming the open-air art fair experience into one that showcases the synergy between art and architecture and brings both to the public realm.
Phase I
The TOGS™ International Ideas Competition generates innovative proposals for a temporary outdoor structure that will function simultaneously as an exhibition space and as an architectural exhibition.
General Requirements
1. Successful TOGS design submissions should push the limits of creativity for exhibiting art. The official sizes for the TOGS are both 10'-0” x 10'-0” x 12'-0 or 10'-0” x 20'-0” x 12'-0. You may select one size for your primary design submission, but your design concept must be readily and easily transformable into both sizes.
2. The TOGS design should function like a gallery. Designers must keep in mind that the TOGS is intended to be portable, temporary and exposed to outdoor elements. TOGS design proposals must, at a minimum, identify a temporary means of installation for the TOGS, and provide illustrations for how the TOGS reinvent the outdoor exhibition space, and how various art mediums can be displayed.
3. The design must address portability and transportation.
4. TOGS design submissions are to illustrate proper accessibility for the public.
5. While not a requirement, TOGS competition submissions are encouraged to incorporate sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions.
