CALL for ENTRIES: Across, Between & Through

CARROT SOUP,

I think of a luscious crock of roasted carrot soup with a hint of ginger and nutmeg. This Call wants you to contemplate transformation. Give it a try…

Check out this Call for Entries for TRANS: Across, Between and Through in the Clayton Staples Gallery at Witchita State University (Witchita, KS). You’ve gotta love art shows meant to make a comment on art itself. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
TRANS: Across, Between & Through

The concept of ‘trans’ seems to be a significant influence in the postmodern art world—where borders, dialogues, discourses and meanings have become increasingly unstable and negotiable. How have these changes and instabilities been documented in contemporary art and design practices? How does contemporary art engage with issues of transformation, translocation, and other ‘trans’ issues pertinent to identity, culture, politics, aesthetics, and everyday life?
