MIDNIGHT
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

NOTIFICATION:  July 25, 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
