Other Options is a series of exhibitions and public programs that investigates the ways in which artists are dealing with the current climate of support for cultural production. By increasingly incorporating new models of resource allocation, community building, funding structures, and forms of exchange as integral to their artistic production, these artists are creating new possibilities for the role of contemporary art in an everyday context. Other Options is a traveling series that began in 2007 and comes to Eyebeam after stops in Chicago; Grand Rapids, MI; Pittsburgh; and Syracuse). Other Options is curated by InCUBATE.
