how to get rid of
CRABS
Seafood usually conjures the image of a beach-front town for most, but I always think of Savannah, Georgia. I’m not crazy about sand, so I’d spend my lunchtime at the River House over a bowl of lobster & crab bisque over a sandy crab boil at the beach any day. Going to the opening of this next Call would be the perfect excuse to put away some seafood. Take a look…
Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) for RE: Tale. Only $20 to enter, great juror & gallery, AND the theme leaves lots of room for interpretation…
CALL for ENTRIES:
RE: Tale
Everybody has a story to tell. We are constantly creating tales in our heads. They might be our own doing, they might be partially vicarious or perhaps completely borrowed. These accounts often get restructured and retold, evolving each time. This is not unlike contemporary art, which by nature constantly strives for reinterpretation.
Fitting the concept of something that is partially untrue in a gallery called “Non-Fiction” seems to be ill-fitting. However, borrowing from the gallery’s vision statement, everybody’s tales, whether personal or fictitious, “inspire life-changing dialogue.” After all, Aesop never needed a true story to communicate his vision.
In today’s contemporary art scene, artists have deconstructed the idea of a story to fit their medium and surface preferences. This juried exhibition strives to showcase the breadth of interpretations of the concept of “visual storytelling.”
