>Big cities  are in a  continuous flux, with a coming and going of people
>who settle in, stay temporarily or move through. Newcomers enter this
>flux, become part of the life of the city, and make connections with
>others. The city, as a space, contains possibilities through the dynamic
>relationships between people, which may provoke an active engagement.
>Strangers become friends, ideas become practice, models are being
>transformed into action.

>NOMADS & RESIDENTS makes connections with people who live here and with
>people who visit, by setting up an active network of collaborators, and
>creating and organizing public events in a variety of places. NOMADS &
>RESIDENTS invites artists, guests, curators, critics, activists,
>travelers and passers-by to present insight into their practice, their
>ideas,
>histories, and drives.

>The curatorial and organizing group of NOMADS & RESIDENTS will consist
>of 50% New York based and 50% temporary residents. They  will actively
>seek out information about who is coming to New York and when, they will
>invite guests to present his/her ideas and will solicit the involvement
>of spaces where these presentations can take place.  They welcome
>advice, ideas and the enthusiastic support of others. The events will be
>partly informal and casual, and will include
>presentations, lectures, talks, slide-shows, small exhibitions,
>performances. No real topics will be set beforehand. Priority will be
>given to proposals that could become projects that will be shared among
>the participants, to a practice that can make resources and ideas
>available for common use.
