Your Documents Please

In an insecure world of fallible people with fallible ideas and ideologies, ibid invites you to submit an application to use the UNBRIDLED POWER of your ART to create (in suitable format as stipulated below) a Vital Document for purposes (known and unknown) of identification, emigration, immigration and imagination in an exhibition to be transported Internationally to several locations.

We ask that you think of this endeavor both as an opportunity to identify yourself (or not) and as a venue to vent and vet the veritable forms and permits bestowed locally on citizens (documented and undocumented) of the world in embassies, municipalities and other bureaucratic institutions around the globe by making a Document of Identification your way. Nevertheless, it is not our intent to prejudice the content of your ID for it is clear that in this context virtually any presentation–visual, textual, textural or otherwise–must be considered a valid form of identification.

In order to facilitate the portability of the documents (always important when crossing borders), ibid requires that they do not contain illegal items or substances banned from air travel and that they be limited in dimension to approximately the size of conventional passport documents, 5” x 7” (13cm x 18cm), and flat enough so they can be easily stashed together in a suitcase for travel. Unless otherwise specified, all documents will be exhibited on a wall at eye-level.

Documents (actual artwork) of accepted applicants must be received in US, Japan, or Slovakia by March 20, 2008. They will be returned to applicant after completion of exhibition if SASE with sufficient postage for return from New York City is provided at time of delivery.

If you have received confirmation from our bureau, please submit the following supporting materials by e-mail as soon as possible:
