“The day that I dedicated myself to call myself D.I.R.T., that was the day that I just stuck my flag in the ground, albeit being toxic ground, and I just said, you know, this is my life’s work ... And I think of Cornelia [Oberlander], and I think about her planting her flag in the ground. And how persistent she was in this kind of … dogged way.
“I’m maybe not a savior, but I like to think maybe I’m an avenger. And I am leading a charge. But to have more colleagues plant their flag in the ground and go, really go, and unrelentingly, just believe in what you’re doing. Don’t get all distracted and fulfill the program of projects. You know? Have at it.”
- Julie Bargmann, Inaugural Oberlander Prize Laureate

🔖 One building, any kind of drawing, a single illustration.

Beam Center seeks design proposals for ambitious public artworks that will be brought to life through collaborations between youth and creative big thinkers. Projects will be realized by a community of more than 100 young people at each of our three 2023 Beam Project sites: in New Hampshire (NH), on Governors Island (GI), and in a local NYC community. Artists are invited to submit proposals for any or all of these three sites, but each proposal must be unique to a specific site. Artists proposing for Beam Project NYC are also encouraged to consider potential installation sites and partners, and to include these in their proposal. Winning proposals will be selected by a committee composed of Beam Center staff, youth, past project designers, and community members.

COMPETITION FORMAT:

Building a city is an ongoing, additive act of creativity. Urban centers are continually being made and remade; they are palimpsests of the values, technologies, ingenuity, and aesthetics of times that precede ours and that were vital in shaping our present. The evolution of the city depends upon designers’ ability to find ways to preserve this past, while shaping a rich and resilient ecosystem for the future.

The competition will be conducted in the form of a non-anonymous competition workshop: Competition Jury, the Competition Clients and other stakeholders will be engaged in a dialogue directly with the competition participants. The Jury will select will select up to 10 teams who will participate in the competition based on their portfolios. The shortlisted teams will work on a concept for the development of the 4th Quadrant of Victory Square. The jury will then select a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 teams to proceed with the development of their proposals. After the end of Competition Phase 2 the Competition Client will negotiate a follow-on contract with the winner of the competition.
