MIX IT UP
Remember when the electric kitchen mixer was only a dream? Well, no, I don’t either, but you have at least contemplated what it was like BEFORE we had electrical conveniences. I, personally, don’t think I have the motivation or arm strength to deal with a manual egg beater. But, I have no doubt that someone somewhere thought that an electric hand mixer was a ridiculous, impossible dream. This next Call may test your ability to imagine the future, but I encourage you to be open to the possibilities. Always be an optimist…
Check out this Call for Entries for Through the Looking Glass at Artform Gallery & Tattoo. This is an all-hung show (or at least one piece per artist), and the entry fee is only $5 per piece. Hurry! The deadline is in FIVE days. It is worth a look…
CALL for ENTRIES: Through the Looking Glass
From the Artform Gallery website: “We’ve come across some very interesting technology that we believe will change how the world can be interconnected. The technology is in the palm of most peoples hands and they don’t even realize it. Our goal is to present this new form of communication to the world is going be through art, by having a gallery opening May 7th at Artform Gallery and Tattoo.”
“Nothing like this has ever been done before. We are trying to bring public awareness to the use of this technology in our everyday life, and what better way to do it through art. Especially since life imitates art on a daily basis. This is the future and the time to act is now while we are right on the cusp of this technological revolution.”
*Editor’s Note: I encourage you to think about this Call with an open mind. I was very hesitant to publish it because it is vague and unclear; however, after a discussion with the Gallery, I think they are just trying to keep their “secret technology” under wraps until the opening. But to help you a little, there is an ACTUAL show, not just an online show. There is an ACTUAL opening, but you don’t have to send your work… only .jpgs. I have a theory on the technology, and if you email me we can compare theories. I’ve wasted a lot of entry fees, but I think this $5 is worth being a part of the mystery.
