CALL for ENTRIES: Digital Art & Photography

Posted on September 26, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

WEARING WAFFLES

I am a wierdo, admittedly. I am obsessed with food. I don’t drink coffee. I rarely wear pants. I won’t do much that can’t be done in four inch heels, and I don’t like prints…unless they are geometric. Oh yeah, that is just the tip of the weirdness iceberg. I like geometric food too…Gorgeous round egg yolks, little logs of goat cheese, and the perfect grid of a golden waffle.

Be a part of the grid with this open digital art and photography Call for Entries named Snap to Grid from the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art (LACDA). Build your resume with online entry, guaranteed acceptance and a chance to get special consideration for future solo and group exhibits. What more could you want?

2) Upload images (separate upload for each image) here:

Gallery Statement: “Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its ‘Open Call’ exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown.

“The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980’s) where every work submitted is exhibited.

“The usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge. The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where culture belongs to the ‘mobblogers’ around the globe.

“From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of “Snap to Grid” becomes an aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of its own.”

SUSHI SUSHI SUSHI

I often post international artist residency opportunities and get lots of email in return that basically says, “I wish.” And, believe me, I understand the frustration of needing the inspiration and time and space of a residency, but not being able to afford the luxury of a month in Spain or Chile. Well, what if I told you that you could get the full foreign tour AFTER you do the work? Stop and smell the sushi, folks.

Check out this International Art Competition and Exhibition from Sakuraba Gallery in Japan. The artists that are selected to exhibit will be brought to Japan from their home country to attend the opening reception.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Digital Art

Posted on March 25, 2010March 25, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I get a lot of email, queries and facebook comments as to the legitimacy of the calls I post. And, while I understand that one rotten apple can spoil the barrel. Rest assured, I make every effort to sniff out the bad apples. To my knowledge, I have never post a fraudulent or scam call. Let me know if I ever do.

On that note, I am always hesitant to post calls for online exhibitions because they tend to strike my readers as a way to lose their cash for little benefit in return. However I must say, I am a big fan of art organizations that lay it all out there. Take today’s call for example.

The Austin Museum of Digital Art says, “Since AMODA currently has no permanent exhibition space, there are some types of visual art that are more practical for us to present than others. In particular, we are seeking artwork to display in our Digital Showcase Series. The Digital Showcase is a one night only event featuring live electronic music and visual art in a social setting, such as a bar or nightclub.” I get it, and I appreciate the fact that the call isn’t hidden in some vague archaic language.

Austin is known for its innovative art vision, and I love the idea of bringing art to the public instead of coercing the public to come see art. Here’s the call:

VISUAL ART

The Austin Museum of Digital Art is open to receiving a wide range of visual art submissions, including anything that they would define as digital art. Please see their About Digital Art page for more information.

“However, since AMODA currently has no permanent exhibition space, there are some types of visual art that are more practical for us to present than others. In particular, we are seeking artwork to display in our Digital Showcase Series. The Digital Showcase is a one night only event featuring live electronic music and visual art in a social setting, such as a bar or nightclub.”

The forms of art that work well in these events are video art, computer animation, digital prints, performance pieces, live video, multimedia installations, and interactive pieces. To submit visual art for their Digital Showcases Series, please send an email to visual.art@amoda.org. (See the submission guidelines below for more info on what to include in your email.)

FLYER ILLUSTRATION

Each Digital Showcase features a different flyer illustrator. If you would like your work to be considered, please contact their Creative Team Director at design@amoda.org. (See the submission guidelines below for more info on what to include in your email.)

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Examples of your work:

when you send a submission, please include examples of your art, music, etc.
they strongly prefer a link to a website where we can view or listen to examples of your work
if this is not possible, you may also attach images, audio files, or short video files to your email

Short bio and work description:

it would be helpful to include a short bio and description of your work
this may include your history as an artist, where your work has previously been shown, where you have previously performed, etc.
it may also include details on the concept/subject of your work, and any special display considerations
they prefer a link to a website where they can read this information, but you may also include it in the body of your email, or as an attachment

Submission replies:

they make every effort to read and catalog all submissions, and consider them for future events
however, AMODA is an all-volunteer organization and cannot guarantee a reply to every submission
even if you do not receive a reply, please feel free to send additional submissions in the future, as you create new work (this is an exception to most gallery rules)

For more information, please visit the AMODA Call for Submissions.
