Call for Artists – Driving without Destination
Mar 16th, 2010 by Jeanne Brasile
Driving without Destination
The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University in collaboration with the G.K. Chesterton Institute is seeking submissions for a group exhibition curated by Jeanne Brasile and Tony Capparelli. The exhibition is to be juried by the curators and Dr. Dermot Quinn and Father Ian Boyd. Open to all artists working in any medium. Exhibition dates are September 7 through October 3, 2010. Deadline: July 15, 2010. Submission Fee: $15
Prospectus: http://academic.shu.edu/libraries/gallery/CALL_FOR_ART-Driving0310.pdf
BACKGROUND
Artists are encouraged to submit artwork exploring themes influenced by G.K. Chesterton, one of the most influential writers, critics and thinkers of the early 20th century. Chesterton’s influence ranged from inspiring Ingmar Bergman’s “The Magician” to the comic book character Gilbert from the Marvel series “The Sandman.”
“Driving without Destination” is the title of an article published in The Chesterton Review (volume XXVI, no. 3, August 2000) written by Dr. Dermot Quinn, professor of history at Seton Hall University. It is also the theme of the exhibition.
Participating artists will be asked to read Dr. Quinn’s article and create artwork in response to its theme. Read Quinn’s essay here: http://academic.shu.edu/libraries/gallery/Driving_Without-Destination-Dermot-Quinn.pdf

2010 THEME: URBAN REALITIES
The selected short films (5 minutes or less) will address issues faced by urban communities in America and aim to include the broadest number of interpretations on the theme. Films that highlight both the challenges and joys of urban life will be shown. In doing so, a balanced portrait of New York metropolitan area will highlight difficulties, and advantages of urban living and of those cities’ inhabitants.
The films will be projected onto vacant buildings, idle billboards, crumbling structures such as stanchions, bridges, piers, etc. Selected screening sites shall be chosen for their proximity and line of sight to highways, airline flight patterns, rail lines and areas with heavy foot traffic. Locations will be in heavily-populated urban areas to facilitate viewing by the maximum number of non-traditional art audiences.
The selected films will present what perhaps those passing by on highways, planes and railways may have never paused to contemplate.
IMPORTANT: Submissions must be respectful with regard to content of the public nature of the event. Films should not contain any visuals that might be inappropriate for public broadcast.
