PLEASE

I’ve had a few jobs and a few careers.  One that I loved more than most was as a Downtown Development Director.  I believed in the tiny town; I believe in urban renewal in rural locations (pop. 3500).  Alas, my time there was shortened to a mere 3 years.  I’ve never admitted this before, but part of my impatience with the development process was my inability to attract new, exciting food opportunities.  Really.  This next Call is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of making ART the answer.  Please investigate this FANTASTIC opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Aferro (Newark, NJ) and RBH Group for Activate: Market Street.  This is a very inexpensive ($5 US) opportunity to truly get public art exposure.  So cool…

CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Netherlands

It is time to brush away the cobwebs and get your work out there.  You know how I love project-oriented work. 

I enjoy the research, but I recognize that not everyone wants to try to fit into the mold of what a jury is seeking. 

I see it as a challenge and hope you will too.  Here is an international call for art entries for the Netherlands for six commissioned pieces that pay tribute to Jean Tinguely (1925-1991) philosophically–but not necessarily aesthetically.

The Sorceress by Jean Tinguely c 1961Jean Tinguely was a Swiss painter and sculptor.  

He is best known for his sculptural machines or kinetic art, in the Dada tradition; known officially as metamechanics.

Tinguely’s art satirized the mindless overproduction of material goods in advanced industrial society. Read the entire article on wikipedia.org.

There are so many of you doing great assemblage work out there.  Here’s your shot to be a big fish in a very small, specialized pond:

Meta Malevich by Jean Tinguely c 1954The Métamatic Research Initiative is launching a call for entries to commission six individual art works in line with its mission. The initiative welcomes proposals from visual artists working in all disciplines.

The Métamatic Research Initiative’s mission is to stimulate research into ideas stemming from the work and philosophy of the French-Swiss artist Jean Tinguely (1925-1991).

Specifically, the research initiative focuses on Tinguely’s exploration of the relationship between the artist, the art work and the viewer as expressed in his Métamatic sculptures.
