Why RED?  Red is the warmest and most striking of all colors. Red is the color most chosen by extroverts and one of the top picks of males. Red can mean love, lust, anger, temper, fiery heat and warmth. Red can symbolize danger. In China, red is the color of prosperity and joy where brides wear red and front doors are often painted red. Red is Tuesday’s color. Red roses symbolize passionate love. Red is the color of Mars. Red is the color of blood with strong symbolism as life and vitality. And we believe artists who work in RED understand the power of creating art within shades of red.  Here’s hoping to catch you RedHanded! –from the prospectus

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  Each piece must be created in 50% PLUS shades of red.  All works are square in finished orientation, 20”x20” being the largest accepted size.

Work by Juror George Awde!CALL for ENTRIES: XY

Photographs of the strengths and virtues of masculinity coupled with the Achilles’ heel of meeting these stereotypes.

Do all men have power? Do all men want power? Is masculinity the same in every culture and time period? Does the performance of masculinity depend on the categories of race, class, and sexuality? The answer to the first three questions is a resounding no, while the answer both to the fourth one is a clear yes.

Darkroom Gallery is calling for photographs that explore the field of cultural, social, historical, political, psychological, economic, and artistic constructions of masculinity.  What makes something or someone “male”?  These definitions change with communities across the world and throughout history. There is a tense and complex relationship between hegemonic masculinities & subordinate masculinities.  Throughout history, men have paid a steep price for not adhering to, or consciously resisting, stereotypical masculine models.  Let’s remember sex and gender are separate entities.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!Wanted are images interrogating these male ideals: photographs of warriors, fathers, of wimps and muscle men. Little boys can be “snakes and snails and puppy dog tails” but they can also love the color pink. Inanimate objects can imply such meanings. In the wake of patriarchal fanfare show us the vulnerability, gentleness and supple subtleties behind what is means to inhibit/exhibit being “male”. — from darkroomgallery.com
