We invite New York-based artists to submit works that deconstruct society and culture, offering interpretations of “desire.” Desire could be understand as longing, impulse, material craving, or sensuality, or one may interprate as metaphor, tension, or unbounded possibility.

Gilles Deleuze has brought out a concept, that the body becomes a “body without organs,” freed from the constraints of structure, liberated from the organic. In this state, each part of the body possesses the capacity to "think" — except for the brain itself. This conception describes one state of desire, as positive, boundlessly creative, and unbridled possibility.
