GOAT

I have a significant number of friends that simply won’t cook for me.  They assume, based on my writing, that I might be too discerning.  It is ridiculous and unfounded, of course.  I eat everything (except wheat).  But many of them have read enough of my posts to feel safe if they always include a stinky cheese.  And, a handful of them have read my posts closely enough to know that goat cheese is proverbial gold.  If you only get one chance to make a first impression, goat cheese is always the gold standard.  This next Call gives you an opportunity to see if your work is the gold standard.  Please take this chance…

I have drafted a dozen cookbooks in my head.  They are usually inspired by whatever food eccentricity I am dwelling on at the moment.  But they always have their roots in momentary excitement as opposed to being deep-rooted in a true philosophy about food.  Maybe if I ever find myself, a cookbook will make it out of the draft stage.  In the meantime, my roots will have to be of the vegetable variety.  This next Call want to explore YOUR feelings on roots, or the lack thereof…

Check out this Call for Entries from DRAFTspace (NY, NY) for Rootlessness, a two-part themed exhibit.  Selected artists will exhibit their solo exhibitions in the street-level pop-up space on Manhattan’s vibrant Lower East Side gallery district.  This is a great chance for that New York opening you’ve always wanted…

Learn more from DRAFTspace!CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness

 

The exhibition series will consist of two sections – Works on Paper and Works on Space – and one exhibition proposal for each section will be chosen and realized on New York’s Lower East Side.

NY has historically been home to ethnically diverse immigrants, inspiring feelings and experiences related to migration, temporality, transformation, assimilation, or conflict.  DRAFTspace is hosting this exhibition series to provoke attention and discussion about this sense of rootlessness.  Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme creatively.

The theme of rootlessness is connected to the unique space setup and location. The exhibit will not be held in a permanent gallery space.  Instead, it will temporarily occupy a street-level vacant retail space that will be consecutively transformed to fit the different identity and characteristics of each exhibition.

Learn more about the Rootlessness Exhibits!

The Lower East Side where this event will take place has long been an immigrant neighborhood and has seen a series of immigrant communities pass through it.  The area has undergone gentrification, starting in the mid-2000s and has since become home to upscale boutiques and numerous contemporary art galleries.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, or Illustration for “Works on Paper” section OR Sculpture or Site-Specific Mixed Media Installations for “Works on Space” section

DEADLINE:  August 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION:  September 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $40 per entry for up to 10 images

AWARDS:  $500 Cash Prize & Solo Exhibition.  The artist of each selected proposal will receive a $500 cash prize and his or her solo exhibition proposal will be realized.

Mono No Aware 2013

 

Film & video have become easily accessible. One can watch content on a website, television, a home projector, or even a cell phone. For some artists and filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. MNA believes there is a magic in seeing the film projected as a print.  There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing.  There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing a band live.  For these reasons MNA encourages live music, performance and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen.  MNA asks that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance.  Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.
