process

I find myself conflicted over food technology.  While I appreciate the safety found in canning, freeze drying, pasteurization and more, I also have an undeniable desire to eat organic, heirloom varieties grown by my own hand.  I know the answer is balance, but I remain conflicted about my relationship with the technological aspect of the food I consume–with every bite some days.  This next Call focuses on the interaction, emotional & otherwise, between humans and their technological objects.  This will be an intriguing show.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Creative Arts Workshop (New Haven, CT) for Intelligent Objects: Empathetic and Smart Art.  Fantastic call with an excellent juror.  I’m looking forward to seeing a combination of traditional & new media in this exhibit.  Investigate the opportunity…

Intelligent Objects

 

Intelligent Objects is an open call for those artworks that act as independent agents & explore the cross-section of analog & digital media. In this age, toasters communicate over the internet & robots vacuum our floors, this exhibition explores those artistic objects which appear to be responsive to our existence, or at least demand an empathy if not an emotion, that we give to sentient beings.  The art in this exhibition need not be kinetic or sculptural, it is open to any combination of traditional & new media.  Artistic “intelligence” may be static imagery, even represented by simple code. –from the prospectus

  1. Roopa, I share your anxiety about costs; however, this is a very common arangement. In fact, it is more common for the commission to be 50%. It becomes a decision about knowing your place in the market & price point. Many artists have great success selling their own work online. Many of these works are in lower price points (below $2000). Once you hit the $2000 mark, sometimes an artist simply needs a gallery’s connection to collectors in their area to make a larger purchase likely. And, an escalation of your visibility via high-profile academic & juried gallery shows can be the right path for some artists. It is really about knowing YOUR audience. You seem to know yours, and that may not be THIS Call or THIS gallery. But, that doesn’t make it an invalid choice for another artist. Just my thoughts… –R.L. Gibson (Rachel), Editor

  2. Roopa, this is standard. Some other things to consider are the gallery maintains costs of rent, utilities, advertising, insurance, a list of established clients and time spent with them, their representation of you, sales acumen and a reputation which draws in new viewers and appreciators of your work. It can get expensive, on both sides, to be sure. It’s good to do the research before submitting. Best of luck!
