synthetic zero: april 2010

CONVERSIONs | one-night stands is a month-long artist festival taking place this April in Mott Haven. Since 2004, CONVERSIONs focuses each night on a different medium under a larger curatorial theme; CONVERSIONs | one-night stands addresses impermanence, temporary gratification and immediacy; a direct commentary on how contemporary art is seen & experienced in the South Bronx. Artists from all over the world have been asked to respond to this concept and each night will host their responses.

Since 2004, CONVERSIONs is an artist driven initiative that brings the alternative space into the studios of Mott Haven artists with short-run exhibitions of work by visual, performing and media artists. It had provided an opportunity for a community without gallery space to produce and exhibit work. In the greater sense, CONVERSIONs is the embodiment of the South Bronx; a conversion of outside perceptions, inward perspectives and a changing view on how contemporary art work is seen and experienced in Mott Haven. It is meant to examine the zones of exchange and cultural diversity surrounding this unique neighborhood. CONVERSIONs was founded & organized by Melissa A. Calderon.

CONVERSIONs | one-night stands is made possible in part with public funds from the Bronx Council on the Arts through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Greater New York Arts Development Fund Regrants Program, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and the Bronx delegation of the City Council.
