Invisible Venue seeks to create an information exchange about alternative presentation formats for contemporary art and to explore the potential for global public dialogue on free web-hosted social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook.  Each site contains profiles for Invisible Venue and each profile poses the following query: "Looking for alternative exhibition formats for contemporary art: alternative spaces, artist interventions, multiples, publications. Ideas?"  Respondents are encouraged to make suggestions about curatorial and artist-driven projects that exist outside of conventional exhibition formats (please include city/state/country).  Additional resources, such as suggested reading or websites, also welcome. 

The objective of this project is to collect and disseminate information about independent initiatives in contemporary art and to explore the potential for global public dialogue on web-hosted social networks.  Contributions will be published in an eponymous paper presented in "Site Variations: The Shifting Ground for Public Art," College Art Association Conference, Chicago, February 2010 and under the growing index of "resources" presented on www.invisiblevenue.com.
