I absolutely love heirloom vegetables. I love the idea of preserving the genetic “bloodline,” if you will, of a fruit or vegetable easily distinguished from the genetically modified, hot-house varieties we are all used to eating. However, I can admit that sometimes a tomato is just a tomato. This next call recognizes that sometimes art is just art. They don’t want your CV, resume, statment or anything else–just your art.

Check out this Open Call from the WW Gallery for the Venice Biennale. Here’s your chance to get a London show based on merit. The deadline is rapidly approaching but you can email your entry! Take a look…

Editor’s Note: Yes, I am going to keep shouting about how ridiculous it is that galleries will take our money and not even bother to send acceptance and rejection emails, but I suspect we willl never win this battle.

OPEN CALL: Space 237

Posted on December 6, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

VALUE MENU

I like fast food as much as the next girl. But too much of anything can be bad for you. And just sometimes, I would rather the question be “chicken or fish?” instead of “do you want fries with that?” Open calls are a little more like table service while themed shows are a bit like going through the drive-thru–I love them both. Check out this next call …chicken or fish?

Check out this Open Call for Artists Proposals for the upcoming season at Space 237. The entry fee is only $20 for a full year of shows, and they consider ALL media, even performance art. Don’t miss out on this opportunity!

ABOUT SPACE 237: Space 237 is a place where both artist and art enthusiast can interact and have an impact on what they may ultimately become, while reflecting upon the times and attitudes, causes and concerns that often require the peculiarly sensitive eye of the artist to synthesize and define in ways foreign to most of us.

Space 237 is creating an art environment dedicated to all forms of expression unfettered by concerns of acceptability to those who would otherwise feel constrained to prefer only the viewer’s status quo. A place where art, music, “performance”, film and video will enhance and expand the viewer’s consciousness with sights and sounds resulting in a total immersion in the many expressions of the creative process. Space 237 exists to encourage the next generation aspiring artists.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Art Publication

Posted on May 1, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

I get lots of inquiries from artists about the value of group shows versus solo shows versus publication.

Everyone has an opinion about the value of art shows and publication to an artist’s career. I will say this. I have had lots of positive exposure from my adventures in art publication. I still receive inquiries from galleries regarding my inclusion in a tiny midwest art zine from April of 2009.

It can’t hurt, right? It is all part of the recipe for success. Here’s a great opportunity to cook up something special:

Call for Submissions: Visual Art

The Splinter Generation is dedicated to providing a venue for aspiring and established artists. They accept contributions of work in any fine art medium including painting, drawing, performance art, video, printmaking, photography, textiles and sculpture. Literary comics also welcome.

They have no prescribed style and will consider both representational and abstract work. However, the work should speak to the overall generational theme of the journal, whether directly or indirectly.

The Splinter Generation is a place by and for people born between 1973 and 1993. It’s a venue for writers, artists and musicians from all different backgrounds to tell the story of our generation. I’m hoping they will forgive the one year that I am outside their timeline, ha.

For each issue they will select a single artist to feature. They ask for one time publication rights and permission to archive the images on the site. They will consider previously published art as long as the artist has retained the rights.

Artwork should be professionally documented. Review their complete artwork guidelines below carefully before submitting.

Visual Art Submission Guidelines

Submissions should be in JPEG format and attached to an e-mail which contains the following:

Name
E-mail address
Street Address
Website link if applicable
List of works by title, medium and size of work and publication history (Be sure to tell us if the work is “Not For Sale” – NFS)
Artist statement (150 words maximum)
Short biography of the artist (75 words maximum)
Send 3-5 works in JPEG file format, 600 x 800 pixels or smaller, 300 dpi, as an attachment to an e-mail message. Alternatively, you may provide direct links to 3 – 5 specific images on your website.
For video, provide up to two Vimeo or YouTube links to clips 1 to 3 minutes in length, along with information on the full length and any production credits.
In the subject line, put “Art Submission” and the title of the work.
Please follow the guidelines carefully, or your work will not be reviewed, without notice to you.

Send the artwork (and only artwork) attached to an e-mail addressed to splintergenart@gmail.com. Those artists selected for publication will be notified within 30 days.

If the work is subsequently published in another venue, they do ask that the publication in Splinter Generation be acknowledged.

Note: Splinter Generation does not charge commission for work sold as a result of exposure in the magazine.
