CALL for ENTRIES: NightVisions V

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

snack

I’m a night eater.  15 years or so ago, I began having a late-night snack before bedtime–a habit acquired while pregnant.  I’ve never been able to shake the late night cookies and chips and cereal.  My husband’s theory is that I have to fuel my nocturnal duties that revolve around problem-solving in my sleep.  I’ve quit trying to fight it. Now I’m just trying to improve my choices.  Cookies and cereal have been slowly replaced by cheese and nuts or citrus fruit.  I’m embracing the dark side, and this next exhibit does too.  Take a look…

Night Visions V

 

More than two-thirds of Americans live where they can no longer see the Milky Way galaxy because of light pollution. We have grown so isolated from night that in much of our culture it has become alien and fearful. NightVisions V seeks to re-open our positive connections to the natural night and to bridge the divide separating artistic from scientific perception, promoting the idea that science and art are two intertwined aspects of human experience.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to any media

DEADLINE:  July 1, 2014

ENTRY FEE:  $35 for up to 3

JURORS:  Chicago binder, book & installation artist Karen Hanmer creates intimate, playful works that fragment & layer text and image to intertwine memory, cultural history, and the history of science.  Her work weds the ancient act of book binding with the high tech use of the computer to aid her process.  The intimate scale and the gestures of exploration required to travel through each piece evoke the experience of looking through an album, a diary, or the belongings of a loved one.  However, her works often take the forms of games or puzzles, and many include witty text.

Hanmer exhibits widely, and her work is included in collections ranging from Tate Britain and the Library of Congress to UCLA and Graceland.

AWARDS: Best of show $1000, 2nd Place $500 & 3rd Place $250.

SALES:  30% commission

MARINATE

My favorite Mexican food is fish. Many Americans have been lulled into thinking of the local fast food taco as representative of Mexican cuisine.  But you haven’t eaten truly representative food, in my opinion, until you have had authentic fish seviche marinated in citrus and chiles. This Call encourages you to capture your view of the issues that surround the Mexico border!   Say it with art…

Check out the Call for Entries for Beyond the Border from the Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, AZ. The entry fee is standard, but you’re allowed to send details…even of two-dimensional work. For those of you wanting to add Arizona to your resume, this is a GREAT opportunity!

Raechel Running’s humanitarian and conservation work represents her five year visual odyssey through the borderlands of Chihuahua and Sonora Mexico. Her images document the history and express the surreal magic, irony and the beauty of the enduring Spirit of the Mexican people connected to the bi-national landscape and history, caught in-between worlds, and divided by border policies.  Shawn Skabelund is a conceptual artist who does site specific, place-based installations exploring culture/nature issues.
