HEMPHILL is pleased to present two projects by free[space]collective in the exhibition
Artist-Citizen, Washington DC,
on view June 5 through July 27, 2013. Artists Michael Dax Iacovone and
Billy Friebele utilize the city and its residents as an essential tool
for the creation of their work. The
DC Photo Grid is an aggregated map of the city generated from user-submitted photographs, and the
DC Crowd-Sourced Video Project offers
a constantly looping portrait of the city as viewed by its inhabitants.
We invite you to participate by submitting your photos and videos
following the instructions below.
DC Photo Grid
The space of Washington DC is made up of government
buildings, businesses, and domestic dwellings. What's left over is the
public space of parks, streets, and sidewalks. This is a crowd sourced
public archive of that free space.
Instructions:
The photo must be taken within the border of Washington DC.
The photo must be taken in outdoor public space.
You must locate the square mile the photo was taken in and indicate the mile along with the submission.
You must enter the date the photo was taken.
Click to SUBMIT a photo.
DC Crowd-Sourced Video Project
This evolving participatory video project will be exhibited at HEMPHILL for the
Artist/Citizen exhibition
in June and July of 2013. We will edit video submissions together,
fading them on top of each other to create a time-based portrait of the
city. The most recent submission will be edited into the looping video
displayed in the gallery, replacing the oldest video on the loop.
Instructions:
Videos must be of public space in Washington, DC.
Please do not exceed 1 minute in duration.
Video can be submitted either by emailing a youtube or vimeo link to
dcphotogrid@gmail.com or you may send video to this email address using a file sharing site such as
yousendit.com or
wetransfer.com.

free[space]collective Mission:
We see the city as an evolving system in a constant state
of change. Each person’s experience within the changing city is
different and valuable. We are interested in initiating dialog through
encounters in public space and using art as a vehicle for community
engagement and interaction. We believe in starting a conversation, and
then setting it free to evolve with the input of the people who share
those spaces.
