Art in Odd Places, which presents visual and performance art in unexpected public spaces in New York, is inviting proposals for its coming annual festival.
The theme of this year’s event â€" which takes place Oct. 11 through Oct. 20 on 14th Street from Avenue C to the Hudson River â€" is number.
To wit: “How numbers crowd us.  Hurrying us, burying us, buoying us, worrying us. Dates to remember and forget, time to make, numbers in funds, pools, mints, checks, and balances, a lucky promise, the first, the last, boom and dip, growth and decline, profit and loss, debt and depression, taxes, tolls, polls, inflation, treasure and foreclosure, precision, penury, exactitude, excess, codes, ciphers, coins, currency, rhythm and cycles, counting and accounting, counting votes, counting cards, counting all his money, counting the hours, counting sheep, counting down, count your blessings, don’t count your chickens, stand up and be counted, discounts and ecounts, but who’s counting … â€
You get the gist.
And if you’re short on ideas, a news release about the festival provided some possible inspiration:
