At the end of the nineteenth century, the most distinguished scientists and engineers declared that no known combination of materials and locomotion could be assembled into a practical flying machine. Fifty years later another generation of distinguished scientists and engineers declared that it was technologically infeasible for a rocket ship to reach the moon. Nevertheless, men were getting off the ground and out into space even while these words were uttered.

Based in New York, Artists Wanted is a collaborative project working to support artistic endeavors through unique, and far-reaching opportunities. By hosting online portfolios for thousands of creatives and producing high-profile gallery receptions and events, Artists Wanted is redefining the way artwork is discovered and exposed to the world.

Artists Wanted is honored to present the work of Jennifer Catron and Paul Outlaw, the selected artists from our Year in Review. Catron and Outlaw are a collaborative duo that incorporates performance and installation to create extraordinary spectacles. Inspired by classical paintings, their live, interactive installation will be an unforgettable, convivial experience for visitors to the Artists Wanted booth.

Bil'in is a Palestinian village located in the Ramallah in the West Bank. The village has been organizing weekly protests against the construction of the wall taking the form of marches from the village to the site of the barrier with the aim of halting construction and dismantling already constructed portions. Israeli forces typically intervene to prevent protesters from approaching the barrier, and violence sometimes erupts in which protesters have been very seriously injured and killed.

This video is in memory of the 21 protestors who have died during protests in Bil'in.

As scientists are wedded to reason and experiments, artists behave similarly in meticulous thought, experimentation and repetition. Although not highlighted within the process of science due to its contrast to reason, science has revelation and inspiration similar to the process of making art.

In this installation collaborating with the project US vs. US, we are presenting a learning center by curating a library of art books and also addressing themes of the intersection between science, art and myth through installation and performance.

As Brooklynites, the Outer-Boroughs Cyclical Non-Cynical Art School of Thought grows out of the vantage point we have across the river from Manhattan, the center of the Universe, as well as our general estrangement from traditional society as working artists. We draw from many subjects of study including but not limited to neuroscience, alchemy, circular motion education, Buddhism, Egyptian/Roman/Greek mythology, self consumption, the holy trinity, magick, and unidentified flying objects. Additionally our name stems from the potent symbol of the Ouroboros, a snake eating its own tail to sustain its life: the basic mandala of alchemy and a recurring theme in our school.

Life moves in circles. As we fight ourselves, we renew our life cycle. Time is nonlinear and we aim to present the people with our cyclical advancements in art and science. We invite you to run in circles with us as we find deeper meaning in the meditative state of repetition.

Craig Smith’s performance and imagery, entitled: “Stacking Boats: A Lesson Plan” will be webcast between London and New York. Smith will appear as a "talking head" that addresses issues such as self-training and development in the human, athletic body/the American poet Walt Whitman’s altruistic leadership and therapeutic interventions with wounded soldiers during the American civil war/ a proposed ‘intensive-extensive’ binary between the speaking voice and the first-person narrator (intensive)/ and the spectrum of belief in visual and auditory cultures evaluating fact or truth in relation to the visual model of documented events (works on paper, photographs, oral traditions performed).

Fabrication, ego and mistrust are bred when spectators are pitted against each other by participating in a public collusion. Each member of the audience is asked to lie to the other spectators. In repeating this lie, their own memory of the meeting is distorted as well. Striving to outdo each other, participants' fantasies and deceptions collide.

Even if an individual chooses not to enter the room, they are still held accountable to the artist's rules. Simply by being present at SCOPE, one takes a role in the competitive arena that has been created.

The artist, Elinor Thompson Monroe, hidden from view, can neither confirm nor deny any stories that her visitors have told. She is at once protected and vulnerable, humble and narcissistic; perhaps, both revered and reviled. She takes on the qualities of 'the man behind the curtain': an undercurrent, a gross manipulator - but with the divine ability to become whatever another wants her to be.

Artists Leighton Collier Roux and Faith Johnson, having experiencing feelings of loneliness and isolation, have searched throughout their individual practices for a human connection. Often times inhabiting a space physically then removing their body to investigate traces of presence that remains.

Since June of 2010 both artists have committed to meeting each other psychically by designating a time and then focusing their intention on becoming close to one another as if they were occupying the same room despite the reality of being on opposite sides of the country in two different time zones. They have evidence of successfully connecting with one another through shared emotions, somatic sensations, and flashes of color, memory, and visual images of the other recorded through journals kept by both and then reviewed and confirmed at a later time over the phone.
