A SOUPÇON of SOUP

My kitchen is fairly free of electronic gadgets.  While I appreciate the technology, a lack of space and economic tightwad-ness long ago put me on the path of manual gadgets.  You should have been there when I tried to explain to my kid how to use a non-electric, hand-held can opener.  Hilarity while trying to open a can of soup.  This next Call wants to know how technology affects your art.  And, it is free…

Check out this Call for Entries for Art & Technology from the Corcoran College of Art + Design’s Gallery 31 in Washington, DC.  There is no entry fee, and academic shows are always a feather in your cap.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Art & Technology

Gallery 31 of the Corcoran College of Art + Design is pleased to announce the call for submissions for its new show dedicated to art and technology to be displayed from August 6 – September 2, 2012. The exhibition is aiming to explore the phenomenon of innovative technologies in relation to contemporary art (or: the relation of contemporary art to new technologies).  This call seeks works addressing the recent tendency of personal fabrication of things, labs and the emergence of do-it-yourself communities.  *Editor’s Note: This Call does not appear on the College’s website, but you can bookmark this page for future reference.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  All media.  Although the emphasis will be on exploring the art practices when a machine makes a vast amount of work, artists working in a way that opposes technology may also apply. (They are interested in yarn bombing, etc.)

ENTRY FEE:  None
