Seeking Affordable Art from Emerging Artists
Recession Art
(Brooklyn NY)
Submissions are open for Facts and Fictions, our Spring 2013 show at Recession Art and the Invisible Dog.


Deadline Monday March 11, 11:59pm

Curated by Founder and Art Director Ani Katz, Facts and Fictions will present works that explore themes of fiction, narrative, storytelling, and the tension between what is true and what is real, with a special emphasis on photographic and lens-based work, artist books, and other narrative media.

Selections will be conducted by Curator Ani Katz, Associate Director Christian Fuller, and a jury of artists. Facts and Fictions will be held June 1-8 at Recession Art and the Invisible Dog (47 and 51 Bergen Street in Boreum Hill, Brooklyn). Recession Art is an organization that promotes and connects emerging artists and aspiring collectors, embracing affordability in artwork. Because of this, we will prioritize affordable artwork in our selection process and will only consider a limited number of performance and video works. 

About Facts and Fictions:
There is a difference between what is true and what is real.

No photograph is ever true. In a photograph, your friend is no longer your friend; he is a pattern of light and shadow and geometry on a piece of paper or a screen, and nothing about him exists beyond the discrete parcel of time in which you made the exposure. There is a fiction in every photograph.

The same can be said of all visual and written media that engage with stories. Even the most objective recording of events is filtered through an individual’s point of view into a subjective narrative.

However, just because something isn’t true doesn’t mean it can’t be real. The facts of observation can be described in ways that share a kinship with the fabric of lived experience, yet surprise us with the array of their fictional articulations. One can see and believe in ways that have nothing to do with truth.

Pilchuck Emerging Artist in Residence Program 
Pilchuck Glass School
(Seattle WA)
Apply for the Pilchuck Emerging Artist in Residence Program (Deadline March 13, 2013)

SEPTEMBER 23–NOVEMBER 15, 2013

The Emerging Artist in Residence program (EAiR) supports artists who are making a transition in their professional lives. Whether moving from academia to a professional studio practice, taking up a new medium, or beginning a new body of work, artists find this independent residency ideal for contemplation, research, and experimentation. The program provides artists with a place and the time to develop an idea or project in glass, with the potential for realizing a new body of work. 

The residency requires a project proposal and supports kilnworking, coldworking, printmaking, and use of mixed media but not hot glassworking. The EAiR program is an independent artist’s residency, so no instruction is available and some glassmaking experience is required. 

Residents have access to many Pilchuck studios, including the glass-plate printmaking (vitreography) studio; plaster studio; fusing, slumping, and casting kilns; flameworking torch; and coldworking equipment. No hot glassworking is available. 

The residency requires full-time participation by six artists. Residents should expect to partake in communal studio clean-ups and be available to visitors during the Auction Tour, among other activities. 

Included in the residency award is a stipend of US$1,000 per artist, open studio space, shared cooking facilities, and a private room in a cottage with shared bath. Materials, instruction, food, and travel reimbursement are not provided.

For more information, please contact Becca Arday, Registrar, at regi...@pilchuck.com or 360.445.3111 ext. 29

Call for Design Proposals: "Curtains"

Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all] 
Posted by: Center for American Architecture and Design, The University of Texas at Austin
Deadline: 03/14/13

CURTAINS is an event designed to explore the use of fabrics in art and architecture—not in the form of 
rigid tensile structures, nor in cladding or upholstery, but in their more relaxed, natural forms: curtains associated with windows, but also defining and activating space, billowing overhead, catching and using wind, creating shade, diffusing light, holding color in their folds, filtering views, absorbing sound, and making theater of the everyday. This is an invitation to artists and architects to design and propose installations that demonstrate the functional, transformative, and evocative powers of curtains and affiliated fabric objects. For more information, visit http://soa.utexas.edu/caad/curtains/index.html 

Registration deadlines: January 14 (early) and February 14, 2013. Proposal deadline March 14, 2013. CURTAINS is scheduled for October 18, 2013 at UT Austin, with keynote addresses by Christo and Petra Blaisse.

"Passages" Art Exhibit

Call for Entries

Swedish Covenant Hospital Artist-in-Residence Program

“Passages”

Art Exhibit

April 20-May 11, 2013

 

Hospital experiences bring people through many actual passages, including doors into surgery, hallways to testing and thresholds into patient rooms.  These experiences also move people through the symbolic passages of the diagnosis, grief, and healing processes.  These passage places are not often spaces that we ponder; instead, they are viewed solely as places to go through. This exhibit gives artists a chance to contemplate and describe any life passage experience through painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, photography, and creative writing. The exhibit is open to all patients of Swedish Covenant Hospital and their loved ones, as well as any hospital employee; it is also open to others who have no affiliation with Swedish Covenant Hospital through a juried process. Anna Koh-Varilla and Jeffrey Hanson Varilla are the jurors for this exhibit.  The Swedish Covenant Hospital Artist-in-Residence Program will provide a $125.00 first-place award, a $75.00 second-place award, and $50.00 third-place award.  Contact KLin...@SwedishCovenant.org for more information.  Please see the attached entry form and call for entries document.

Public Design Competition 
- 12:41PM Visit ACTIVATE2013.org for full competition details.
 THE CHALLENGE The American city is rooted in its neighborhoods, public spaces, and infrastructure. Transforming the interstitial open spaces that characterize our cities can be a fundamental catalyst for community connectivity and socialization. When neglected or inaccessible, these vacant spaces become detrimental to neighborhood health and vitality. To address the needs of a diverse and changing urban population, space must adapt to the needs of a broader range of ages, physical abilities, and cultural backgrounds. Through small acts we can repurpose public space to be more universally accessible, inclusive, age friendly, and a builder of community. THE RESPONSE Design one or more objects that activate a vacant site, is universally accessible, and fosters multi-generational community interaction. Objects should not be limited to furniture or seating elements such as benches. We consider other structures that make a small space seem inviting, usable and safe to be activators; including but not limited to harvest tables, raised planters, play equipment, interactive sculptures. The goal of this installation is to continue the dialogue about open space and how design can be the catalyst for the creation of meaningful and joyful places that facilitate community engagement and growth.

FALL SOLOS 2013
Arlington Arts Center
(Arlington VA)
CALL FOR ENTRIES

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Postmarked by March 15, 2013
NOTIFICATION DATE: May 3 , 2013
EXHIBITION DATES: Nov 1 - Dec 22, 2013

THE JURORS
We are pleased to announce that two exciting guest panelists will lead our review process: Molly Donovan, Associate Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art, National Gallery of Art; and artist Dan Steinhilber.

Molly Donovan organized Warhol: Headlines, which premiered last year at the National Gallery of Art. The exhibition was the first to fully examine the works that Andy Warhol created on the theme of news headlines. She has initiated several commissioned sculptures at the NGA, including Roxy Paine’s Graft, 2009, recently added to the National Gallery Sculpture Garden, and Leo Villareal’s LED sculpture Multiverse (2008) in the moving walkway between the East and West buildings. She has written and lectured on numerous artists, including Byron Kim, Kimsooja, Richard Tuttle, and Rachel Whiteread, and on the subject of art in public space.

Over the past decade Dan Steinhilber has built a national reputation while living and working in Washington DC. He has shown in such major museums and galleries as the Contemporary Art Museum, Raleigh NC; Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston TX; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC; Mass MoCA, North Adams MA; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh PA; Des Moines Art Center, Des Moines IA; Baltimore Museum of Art; Socrates Sculpture Park, Queens NY; and the Palazzo delle Papesse Center of Contemporary Art, Siena. A recent DC exhibition was at the Kreeger Museum, where he installed Marlin Underground, an exploration of the secret musical life contained within everyday objects and materials. He received his MFA at American University in 2002.

PROPOSALS FOR NEW PROJECTS
Each year AAC selects artists from across the mid-Atlantic region for solo exhibitions in AAC’s seven separate gallery spaces—or outside on the grounds. Artists are encouraged to submit proposals for works in progress, new bodies of work, as well as site-specific installations in any and all media. AAC hopes to give artists the space and the opportunity to realize projects that may have been on the back burner or fully conceived but not yet realized or exhibited elsewhere. Artist submission materials may spell out the proposals in depth or indicate past work that supports the new ideas.

We look forward to your submission!

Residency on Farms in the Catskills : 2013 Broadcast
Andes Sprouts Society Residency
(Catskill Mountains NY)
The residency program invites artists, inventors and farmers  from around the world to participate creatively within Catskill region’s working landscape. ASsociety residency program supports the inception, creation and presentation of original art projects encompassing new media and bio-art.  The ASS residency facilitates this cross disciplinary collaboration with a mobile residency program that travels to host farms in the Catskill allowing the residents to create projects that interact with different forms of agriculture (for examsple, produce, livestock, agroforestry) in different years and seasons.

For the 2013 season the theme is BROADCASTING : Farmers have been broadcasting seeds by hand for thousands of years, with little to no change in the technique.  A good seed broadcaster will achieve even coverage over the planting area, with just the right amount of seeds cast for dense but not crowded plant growth.  Its a very low tech process and a few elements in a good broadcast are a steady gait, a light vessel to carry the seeds, no wind and an even cast.  Broadcasting for artists include a whole different set of criteria and technology, literally broadcasting through radio, tv and new media. Projects that are activating, visualizing or intervening a singular component or all elements of broadcasting, from seeds to radio programming are all encouraged.   The agricultural system is of significant importance to us at Andes Sprouts and we encourage creative interpretation of the 2013 theme “Broadcast” as they pertain to eco issues of sustainability, energy, waste, technology and habitat.

Sprouts residency studio will be situated on the Michael Kudish Natural History Preserve(MKNHP) adjoined by the Goldenheart Unidiversity Farm(GHU Farm).
