CALL for ENTRIES: 12 12 International

CRAZY
’bout
SNAILS

There are a few things that I simply can’t feed my friends, in-laws, and co-workers. If I were to show up at a party with escargot, the rumors of my impending insanity would abound. In the art world, I have learned that I simply can’t show my work in an area where fine artisan crafts are what sells. Well, this next Call has a juror that I suspect you can’t freak out. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 2012 International Photo Exhibition from the 12 12 Gallery (Richmond, VA). This juror is known for his own visually provocative work, and I know I have work I can’t show ANYWHERE that I plan to enter. How about you?

CALL for ENTRIES:
International Photo Exhibition

ELIGIBILITY: Artists around the world age 18+ may submit up to 3 images for consideration. Additional images may be submitted at an additional cost for up to a total of 5 works. Work previously exhibited at 12 12 Gallery is not eligible.

MEDIA: Any photographic process

DEADLINE: September 24, 2012

NOTIFICATION: October 5, 2012

ENTRY FEE: Each entrant will pay a non-refundable $25 (US) entry fee for 3 images. Additional images, at $5 (US) each, for up to 5 total images, may be submitted.

JUROR: Ignatius Widiapradja, Associate Professor of Art and Design, has been teaching at Drake University since 1985. He has taught studio courses in Painting, Drawing, 2 Dimensional Design, and Digital Photography and Editing.

Professor Widiapradja’s current creative works are primarily in painting and digital print. In his works, the articulation of images and spatial construction form a cohesive multidimensional reality that exhibits a state of constant flux.

It is the mapping of overlapping memories, future projections and multidimensional processes of awareness. In our memories, images, events, feelings, desire, and space happen simultaneously and are inseparable and intertwined. Riveting, provocative, and meticulously articulate in their design, Professor Widiapradja’s digital compositions combine artist-captured images that represent landscape, travel, nature, portrait, studio, commercial, and fine art photography.

His international aesthetic represents the majestic Himalayas, the peoples of Indonesia, Nepal, Bhutan, Buddhist temples, and much more; electronically sewn together to bring new perspective and juxtaposition to familiar objects of nature and human form.

AWARDS: Cash and prizes up to $1000 will be awarded solely at the discretion of the exhibition juror. Recognition of work by Professor Widiapradja may also be designated to the extent he deems appropriate. These designations may not include a cash prize. Also, 12 12 Gallery Director, Martin McFadden, will award a Director’s Choice Award.

SALES: All work must be for sale. 12 12 Gallery will receive a 35% commission.
