trashed – call for submissions

Mar 15th, 2011 by

CALL FOR ART

trashed

Independent curators, Meghan Blowers and Marie Sullivan, in collaboration with Rogue Video and The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University are seeking submissions for “trashed,” and exhibition of contemporary video art which explores and discovers the potential for beauty, meaning and use in the discarded.  By investigating the redemptive quality of reclaiming and re-using abandoned matter, the curators offer insight into a burgeoning revolution which re-orders the conventional meaning of worth.  The resurrection of trash will be uniquely explored by individual participating artists through their interpretations of the motivations, processes and effects of this counter-cultural upheaval.  The artists’ focus may be broad or narrow and may delve into the psychological, spiritual or physical consequences of the transformation of the worthless to the valued.  Presenting a diverse array of works will assist the curators in conveying the breadth and significance of the “salvage” movement.  Videos will be selected based on artistic merit, relevancy and overall meaning.

The video screening will take place on Thursday, April 28th in an out of doors urban environment (to be announced) in the Arts District of Newark, New Jersey . Videos will be projected in an unconventional setting to increase incidental viewership and audience participation.  Additionally, this will give audiences a concrete example of how places and objects can be transformed simply by the way we see and use them.

DEADLINE:  April 8th, 2011

PROSPECTUS:  http://jeannecurates.com

FEE:  $5/5 entries

Call for Artwork – Portraiture: Inside Out

Nov 1st, 2010 by

The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University is seeking submissions for a group exhibition curated by Ruth Ballester, Whitney Fehl, and Lauren Thompson. The call is open to all artists working towards expanding the definition portraiture. Portraiture: Inside Out seeks to emphasize the methods by which contemporary artists explore private identity of both the self and the other by denying formal and art historical conventions, as well as moving away from lofty social and political tendencies. It is the goal of this exhibition to foster an understanding and appreciation of unconventional approaches to the genre of portraiture, especially within a conceptual framework. All media will be considered, including (but not limited to) painting, drawing, prints, photography, sculpture, installation, new media, performance, and mixed-media works. The exhibition will specifically explore artists that reveal private identity through external physical cues and/or, interior psychological states of being. Performative works, installation and interventions will especially be favored.

$15/5 entries – Deadline January 7, 2011
