CALL for ENTRIES: Postmarked 2012

For many years, inmates from around the country wrote to the Prison Library Project, and they were amazed by the artwork that accompanied requests for books. These beautiful illustrations were their inspiration for a mail art exhibition and fundraiser.

Postmarked was developed eight years ago for the Claremont Forum’s Prison Library Project, which sends books free to prisoners in the U.S. upon their request.  Providing education and opportunity to learn about mail art, view new and established mail artists’ works, and to participate in the experience of creating and sending mail art. Now in its 8th year, this exhibition is one of the largest in California.

Learn more about the 7th Annual Mail Art Show!ELIGIBILITY: Open to all.

MEDIA:  Mail art of any size and medium. ONLY the side with the official USPS Postmark/barcode will be displayed. Your mail art may be painted, stamped, collaged, printed, and/or otherwise decorated or constructed. It may be any shape and size that will go through the mail and receive an official postmark.

Your submission may get worn or torn through the mail, but the handling process is an important part of the theme. Only the side with the postmark can be displayed, due to space limitations, but the art doesn’t have to be limited to that side. You may include any message inside the envelope, which will be opened only by the person who purchases the art envelope. You may submit more than one piece… and begin sending now!

Learn more about the 7th Annual Mail Art Show!DEADLINE: Entries must be postmarked by September 30, 2012.

ENTRY FEE: None

WHY SUPPORT the PLP? “Rehabilitation was at one time a stated goal of the prison system. Today, funding for most educational and rehabilitation programs, including prison libraries, has been cut or completely eliminated. It is a distressing fact that today’s U.S. prisons are increasingly about punishing people and warehousing human beings, not about, rehabilitation, or education.”

“This is where PLP steps in. We believe that everyone deserves access to literature and educational materials, including people trying to work towards social change, self-empowerment or rehabilitation within the incarceration system.

Learn more about the 7th Annual Mail Art Show! The U.S. has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, but more than a quarter of the world’s prisoners.

 

Nearly one percent of American adults are incarcerated, the highest rate in the world, but many prisoners have little access to books or educational material. They face substantial barriers and are cut off from family and friends on the outside. While some prisons have libraries, many do not. Of those that do, access and selection can be extremely limited. Usually, prisoners are not allowed to receive books from friends or family. Thus, programs like ours are one of the few options available to these individuals.” –from the PLP website.

humor; analog humor

 

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.

Learn more about the humor - analog humor show!DEADLINE:  My guess is sometime early to mid September since the work must arrive by the end of September.

ENTRY FEE:  None

“Dinner or Supper?  What a dilemma.  I have called the evening meal ‘dinner’ for as long as I can remember and ‘supper’ just dropped from my vocabulary.  My mother reminded me of the use of ‘dinner’ when my uncle invited us over to partake.  In my head, we were going at 6PM.  Well no, he meant noon.  Dinner for him was lunch for me and supper for him was dinner for me.  Whatever!  It all boils down to one thing.  Food.  And hopefully the company of good friends and loved ones.” — from the A.

Still Life

From Dutch masters’ paintings to contemporary photography, the still life has played an important role in art history. This genre grants the artist complete control over their subjects, allowing unparalleled ability to select details and manipulate the scene.

Still lifes often employ symbolism, where the objects assume their own character and identity. An entire story can be told with the arrangement of a few items; toys, dolls, and household goods become surrogates, and natural life is given a persona. For Still Life: The Art of Arrangement, The Kiernan Gallery seeks evocative and symbolic still life images.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: August 20, 2012

I have conquered my peach fur issues.  If you’re a regular reader, you know I have issues with peach fur because it makes peaches look live living, furry-skinned beings.  Creepy.  Lesson learned: if you scrub hard enough, you CAN get the fur off.  I don’t know why I can eat deep fried chicken and pork skin, but somehow I get the willies when I bite into a peach.  Weird, admittedly.  This next call shines a whole different light on skin.  Take a look…

Squing & Oup – Skin Ego

 

Complete with orifice, organ and envelope, our bodies house microcosms of experience—all subject to unyielding flux, forming a shifting scape of cumulative geography and psychology. The boundary between the internal and external world is a continuous, flexible, regenerating surface, protecting and covering vulnerable machines— our skin.

Mediating everything in our lives, skin is key to biology, sensory experiences, information gathering, and psychology. Throughout millions of years, we have exposed, veiled, decorated, cleansed, healed and marred our skin to take on new roles of social metaphor. No longer presumable, but personal, skin is a tapestry speaking of our individuality, challenging us to investigate the meaning of permeable boundaries.

Check out the Current Exhibition at Squing and Oup!For this art exhibition, Squing & Oup is seeking artwork embodying the skin ego—examining the politics and psychology of emotion, evolution, exploration, environment and expression.
