CALL for ENTRIES: Scroll Bowl V

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!BOWLING FOR SCROLLS

I’m told the Super Bowl is in January.  I say, “I’m told” because a football would have to hit me square between the eyes to make me aware of when the season begins or ends for any sport.  Yep, I’m just not that girl.  Interestingly enough, the idea of the Super Bowl does conjure image of very specific foods for me despite the fact that I’ve never been to a Super Bowl party.  Hmmmm… Chicken Wings anyone?

This next Call for Entries is for the Scroll Bowl V sponsored by Magazine 22.  The only similarity between this Call for the Scroll Bowl V and the Super Bowl?  They are both in January and both have Bowl in the name, but I had to start somewhere, eh? *Editor’s note:  4 hours after this post went live, the venue and date changed.  See edits below noted in green italics…

CALL for ENTRIES:  Scroll Bowl V

Submit to Scroll Bowl V today!

SCROLL BOWL V will be the featured event at The 22 Magazine Launch Party, on April 2nd, 2011.  Harnessing the ancient power of scroll storytelling, some of world’s finest creators gather to show off their work on large and small rolls of parchment.  Scroll art is one of the oldest forms of storytelling, and the folks at The 22 Magazine want to make the experience of viewing a scroll more accessible to everyday life.

Check out the Scrollie Viewer on YouTube!MEDIA:  There are many different ways to approach art on scrolls, and they ask artists to push those limits-linear storytelling to abstract ideas.

Larger format works are shown on their huge SCROLLIE VIEWER, but they also appreciate smaller format or long scrolls that hang on the wall.  Solo, group collaborations, video or performance pieces are acceptable.  How each artist attacks the “page” is what makes these events fun.

WHERE:  The Scroll Bowl V will take place at Frost Street Art Space in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), an exciting new gallery and screening venue that provides live online streaming of events!  Click here for videos of the space. 

From the organizers:  “What this [change of venue] means for the artists is 1) A week long show instead of one night  2) documentation of the actual event via 4-7 installed cameras  3) live streaming of the event online and  4) more space and much nicer venue. ”

Submit to Scroll Bowl V today!HOW TO SUBMIT:  All submissions (in the form of images or links) can be sent to the22magazine@gmail.com. Please put “SCROLL BOWL SUBMISSION” in the subject line.

DEADLINE:  December 30, 2010 or until the show is full.  New deadline March 16, 2011.

ELIGIBILITY:  Artists in any location are welcome to submit.  Although they cannot fund anyone’s travel expenses,  the folks at The 22 Magazine will be happy to present your scroll for you if you cannot make it to the event.
