NEW CALL FOR ENTRIES ANNOUNCED: March 2014: In Motion For centuries various artists have reveled in the art of action, from cave paintings of hunters hurling spears to the Italian Futurists’ focus on speed and dynamism. Humans express themselves through numerous movements, whether in dance or athletics, or simple gestures, while many animals and natural elements create movements all their own. It is an artist’s challenge to capture a body in motion and translate it onto a still surface, interpreting the action for a later audience. This open call to artists accepts work that depicts motion in any form. April 2014: Decon/Recon It is an old adage that the only constant is change itself, a fact perhaps seen most clearly in shifts in urban spaces as buildings are torn down and replaced or renovated. The plot of land remains the same but its appearance is changed, just as old materials may be repurposed for new uses. This open call to artists seeks work that responds to such shifts, either through regeneration of material, repurposing of old artworks, or personal interpretation of the subject. How do you view the frequent adjustments to your daily landscape? How can you “renovate” your own artwork or artistic perspective?
