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.
