CALL for PROPOSALS: Public Art

My son has recently decided to try to break a Guinness World Record, but he can’t figure out which one (he’s 13).  It takes all the self-control to not suggest that he make the world’s largest chocolate chip cookie.  This next call will resort in only a 10 foot circle; I suspect that is far to small for the world’s largest cookie.  Nonetheless, this is a great opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Warrensburg Arts Commission (WAC) for Public Art Design Proposals.  The entry fee is cheap, and unlike many public art calls, this is not limited to sculpture.  Take a closer work…

I took French as my foreign language in high school.  In hindsight, Spanish would have been more useful, but French turned out to be handy when my love of food emerged.  I am enamored with the use of feminine and masculine nouns.  Did you know that un chocolat is masculine while une orangina is feminine?  Orange you glad I’m publishing this next call?  Bad, I know.  Forgive me…

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

THEME:  Humor and art have been infrequent partners at best. With both a philosophical interest in the nature of humor and its relationship to aesthetics, this exhibition invites artworks that may utilize a conceptual approach and are actually funny, occupying this middle ground between art and humor in ways that might be thought-provoking, absurd, or even just silly.

MEDIA:  all work must be funny. if you make the curator laugh, chuckle, wryly smile, or have a genuine humorous reaction, then it’s included.  If not, it’s not. Don’t worry: the curator has a very wide ranging sense of humor. except when it comes to Woody Allen movies which, for some reason, he just doesn’t get.

Learn more about ETSU online!All work must be in analog form, nothing digital will be accepted; suggested analog forms include, but are not limited to: index cards, single sheets of paper, cassette tapes, small sculpture, airmail envelopes, 35mm slides, canned goods, Morse code and anything else that you might think of.  But it must be analog.  No zeros and ones.

All of the work must be small.  Maximum size–one cubic foot (not one cubit foot).  Minimum size–head of a pin.

All work must be signed.  This also means that all work can be catalogued, so dates, dimensions, material, etc. must be either included separately with the entry or readily discernible.  An online catalog of every object submitted will be published.

All work must be environmentally disposable. You can retrieve your work at the end of the show, or pay to have it shipped back, but it is expected that the vast majority of work will be trashed on the last day.   They will provide the trash bags.
