SSSSSSUSHI!
Grocery store sushi. Regardless of how you feel about sushi, I think the common reaction to the grocery store variety is a twinge of fright. But, be brave…sometimes it is great. Uncommonly good things can sometimes be found in uncommon locations. This next call offers a delightful opportunity to show art in a common location as a part of an uncommon gathering. Yummy…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Games+Learning+Society
“This is a general call for new work (completed in the last two years) or proposals for new work for the second annual Games and Art exhibition featured at the 8th annual Games+Learning+Society (GLS) conference to be held in June of 2012. Narrative is an essential tool of understanding and communication of ideas. Humanities from history to politics to science are understood and disseminated through narrative tools. Characters and bildungsroman are the flesh and blood of narratives, which link us to our past and help guide our vision of the future. Narrative is a thread which represents, interprets, and shapes our world. Our narrative is often truth for lack of capital-T-Truth as we manipulate it so it may manipulate us. Perhaps most importantly, it is a double-edged sword which grants us access to experiences which may be beyond our reach–independent of space, time, and reality. This exhibition seeks to explore the power of character and narrative through games and art.”
