Middle East Center for the Arts (MECA) part of Mana Contemporary

Introducing the newest addition to Mana Contemporary….The Middle East Center for the Arts (MECA). MECA is an international foundation that promotes contemporary art from the Middle East. Conceived as a cultural hub for artists, activists and scholars, MECA presents a unique range of programs including exhibitions, workshops, lectures as well as film and video screenings.
MECA is the vision of Eugene Lemay, Yigal Ozeri, David Wakstein and Said Abu Shakra; as members of the international art community with roots in Israel and Palestine, the four have witnessed first-hand the social, political and economic strife encompassing this territory. With a focus on mediation and critical discourse, MECA offers a neutral ground for artists to engage in collaborative processes.
Working directly with artists and institutions from the Middle East, MECA is a unique epicenter for cultural exchange, providing a forum for the many voices that make up this beautiful, complicated region.
opening date april 1st 2012, 888 Newark ave, Jersey City, JSQ

Information

Mana Contemporary, an all inclusive arts complex, has combined forces with Artists Wanted and artist Joshua Kirsch to create a groundbreaking challenge. Artists Wanted, a Brooklyn based organization, spots emerging artists offering them various forms of support and exposure. Kirsch is a Jersey based kinetic sculptor. His piece, Sympathetic Resonance, is going to be installed at Mana Contemporary in early March and we are proposing a challenge.
We invite musicians of any genre to schedule a time to come to Mana Contemporary and immerse themselves in the spindly instrument to make music using our premium recording equipment for both the visual and audio components. Once recorded, the musicians can upload their work directly onto the Artists Wanted Page. Once entered, the musician has a chance to win $1,000. and most assuredly, plenty of exposure. Keep your eyes open for new footage and schedule your time to come in and test your ability to adapt and create.
