I get lots of inquiries from artists about the value of group shows versus solo shows versus publication.
Everyone has an opinion about the value of art shows and publication to an artist’s career. I will say this. I have had lots of positive exposure from my adventures in art publication. I still receive inquiries from galleries regarding my inclusion in a tiny midwest art zine from April of 2009.
It can’t hurt, right? It is all part of the recipe for success. Here’s a great opportunity to cook up something special:
The Splinter Generation is dedicated to providing a venue for aspiring and established artists. They accept contributions of work in any fine art medium including painting, drawing, performance art, video, printmaking, photography, textiles and sculpture. Literary comics also welcome.
They have no prescribed style and will consider both representational and abstract work. However, the work should speak to the overall generational theme of the journal, whether directly or indirectly.
The Splinter Generation is a place by and for people born between 1973 and 1993. It’s a venue for writers, artists and musicians from all different backgrounds to tell the story of our generation. I’m hoping they will forgive the one year that I am outside their timeline, ha.
For each issue they will select a single artist to feature. They ask for one time publication rights and permission to archive the images on the site. They will consider previously published art as long as the artist has retained the rights.
Artwork should be professionally documented. Review their complete artwork guidelines below carefully before submitting.
Submissions should be in JPEG format and attached to an e-mail which contains the following:
Send the artwork (and only artwork) attached to an e-mail addressed to splintergenart@gmail.com. Those artists selected for publication will be notified within 30 days.
If the work is subsequently published in another venue, they do ask that the publication in Splinter Generation be acknowledged.
Note: Splinter Generation does not charge commission for work sold as a result of exposure in the magazine.

I am rapidly approaching 40, and I don’t like it.
I have alot to say about aging, but it hasn’t come out in my artwork yet. I am afraid to open that proverbial can of worms for fear of spiralling into my own narcissitic world of self-indulgent “Oh Woe is Me” work that will permanently end my ability to produce work of any sort of value aside from auto-biographical. Yep, issues. Moving on…
I have found an opportunity to say something about my aging in a project-oriented way that might help restrain my tendancy for getting carried away, and I thought you might like it too.
A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce CURRENTS, a timely and innovative exhibition series. Each year the CURRENTS exhibit will address an issue that warrants expanded critical attention in the art world.
A.I.R. will invite established and non-traditional curators (artists, activists, writers, poets) to select the works to be exhibited with the theme designed as a collaboration between the curator and the gallery.
This new opportunity is open to all self-identified women artists worldwide and will be curated through an open call and through invitations by the curator.
For the inaugural CURRENTS exhibit, Martha Wilson will curate, “At Her Age,” an exhibit on Women, Age and Sex.
“At Her Age” will examine how women at any period in their life, old or young, view their changing bodies.
Questions to be addressed could be:
“How does age affect experiencing one’s sexual/sensual life?”
“How age impacts one’s evolving personal and social relationships?”
While older women may be perceived by others as inconsequential or asexual, they personally experience increasing knowledge of themselves.
Younger women may experience curiosity/fear/pleasure about the changes in their own bodies due to age.
A.I.R. Gallery is looking for artwork, to be selected by Martha Wilson, that addresses age and sex as part of an evolutionary process.
About the Curator:
Martha Wilson is an artist and Founding Director of Franklin Furnace Archive, Inc. Since its inception in 1976, Franklin Furnace has presented and preserved temporal art: artists’ books and other multiples produced internationally after 1960; temporary installations; and performance art. Ms. Wilson lectures widely on the book as an art form, on performance art, and on “live art on the Internet.”
Trained in English Literature, Ms. Wilson was teaching at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design when she became fascinated by artworks created at the intersection of text and image.
In New York, she founded DISBAND, the all-girl punk band of artists who couldn’t play any instruments. Since DISBAND disbanded in 1982, she has performed in the guises of Alexander Haig, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, and Tipper Gore. In the spring of 2008, she had her first solo exhibition in New York at Mitchell Algus Gallery, “Martha Wilson: Photo/Text Works, 1971-1974.”
DEADLINE: May 14, 2010 – Midnight online, 6pm drop off, or postmark
IMAGE GUIDELINES:
DIGITAL: Submit digital images online or on CD. Jpg files only. File names should be your telephone number followed by the image number (i.e. 2122556651-1.jpg, 2122556651-2.jpg). Images should not exceed 1000 pixels x 1000 pixels or 300k in memory. All images should be oriented correctly.

I love a theme…we have taco night at my house, no kidding.
Art is no different. Give me a theme anyday. It is a great way to jumpstart your creative brain while you’re working on a full show of work. And sometimes, it can be the beginning of a whole new series of work.
I have found a GREAT SHOW for you, but you really have to hurry…the deadline is coming fast!
I LOVE the idea of the Exaggerate! show from The Arts Guild of Old Forge (NY).
Here’s the call for visual art
AND writing:
Artists lay it on thick in this open exhibit of Amazing two and three dimensional artwork, and larger-than-life written works.
The BIG idea is to exaggerate!
This is an out of proportion, overblown, not entirely accurate exhibition of photography, painting, pastel, graphics, drawing, fiber, sculpture, and ceramics as well as short written works: poetry and tall tales, all themed around the idea of exaggeration.
All work will be displayed and judged for awards. (All-hung shows are great resume builders!)
It is a chance for artists to express feelings rather than facts, and it will transport viewers beyond the bounds of reason.
“Explore our fascination with what we know is too good to be true. Exaggerate! is the greatest exhibition you will ever see!”
Visual Art
All two-dimensional artwork must be suitably framed for exhibition with hook eyes and wire attached. No alligator frame hangers.
Three-dimensional art must be complete and moveable. There are no size restrictions. It you would like the opportunity to have the work you plan to submit featured on exhibition publicity pieces please email a high quality image of your work for consideration to jpritchard@artscenteroldforge.org with the subject line: Exaggerate! Artwork.
Tall Tales & Poetry
Written submissions should not exceed 1000 words. Tall tale and poetry submissions will be integrated into the exhibition in a visual manner as well as displayed in readers copy books within the Arts Center.
Written works should be submitted twice. Electronically to be judged, as well as framed for display.
Framed Submission
Writers are welcome to be creative with how they display their words and are allowed to incorporate visual elements, although framing is the only mandatory display requirement. Framed works for display should arrive at the Arts Center/Old Forge with your entry form and entry fee.
Digital Submission
Digital submissions can be emailed or sent on a CD. If necessary they may be typed and mailed. These are for the Juror to read and select from based on each work’s literary merit. They do not need to be decorative or formatted in any particular way. The submission deadline for this copy of your writing is due April 26, 2010.
• Digital submissions should not be accompanied by entry forms and payment (although this is necessary for the framed portion of written submissions).
•Emailed entries should include “Exaggerate submission”in the subject line. Send to Linda Weal, the Exhibition Coordinator, at lweal@artscenteroldforge.org.
• CD Entries, or typed copies should be sent to:
Attention: Exaggerate!
Arts Center/Old Forge
PO Box 1144

Magazines are skinny lately.
Have you noticed?
I suppose online zines are shrinking the proverbial waist of the magazine industry just as online newspapers are making words on newsprint less and less common.
My advice? Eat a doughnut.
Most folks want the instant gratification of Google that ends in a digital zine. Information sought. Information found. But…
I still love the feel of paper, inky or slick, in my hands. I don’t own a digital reader because I still buy books. I subscribe to Conde’ Nast Traveler so I can fill my dreams with tours of gilded Russian palaces and sunny Italian beaches. I have recently re-subscribed to Rolling Stone after a hiatus of more than 10 years, and trust me, more than just Keith Richards needs some fattening up.
Eat a doughnut, folks.
So why am I babbling on about magazines? It is a questions of legitimacy. I have had lots of conversations with lots of subscribers and friends about what constitutes artistic legitimacy or “making it,” aside from the ability to support oneself artistically.
Is it an academic pedigree or a resume of academic acceptance? Is it great reviews or stunning retail sales? Is it merely a well-hung cohesive show with “guts” and meaning?
I don’t know, sorry. I can teach you how to get a show, but I can’t teach you how to be happy with it.
So, for all of you whose artistic dream is to be on the cover of the Rolling Stone, here’s a short menu of great art magazines…get to work.
1. The Artist’s Magazine. This is the first art mag I every owned. I was inspired by the work…watned to be a painter…wanted my work to be featured among its pages. That hasn’t worked out for me so far, but their Annual Art Competition has a looming deadline so don’t procrastinate.
2. Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine (pronounced Jucks-tah-pozz) is a magazine created in 1994 by a group of artists and collectors including Robert Williams Fausto Vitello, C.R. Stecyk III, and Greg Escalante, to both help define and celebrate urban alternative and underground contemporary art. Anytime I have an art block, I find flipping through an issue of Juxtapoz inspires me.
Unique in the field of publishing, Juxtapoz emerged at a critical moment during the genesis of the late-20th Centuy underground art movement with the mission of connecting seminal modern genres like psychedelic and hot rod art, graffiti, street art, and illustration, to the context of broader more historically recognized genres of art like Pop, assemblage, old master painting, and conceptual art.
3. ARTnews is the oldest and most widely circulated art magazine in the world. Its readership of 200,000 in 123 countries includes collectors, dealers, historians, artists, museum directors, curators, connoisseurs, and enthusiasts.
Published eleven times a year, ARTnews reports on the art, personalities, issues, trends and events shaping the international art world. In clear, well-crafted language that is as comprehensible to the novice as it is to the expert, the magazine offers a lively, provocative, and visually stimulating package that informs as well as entertains with news dispatches from a worldwide network of correspondents, hard-hitting investigative reports, criticism, and opinion.
From its beginnings, ARTnews has balanced reporting on contemporary art with coverage of modern and old masters. In recent years, it has expanded its content to include profiles of notable collectors, museum directors and scholars; travel itineraries filled with art appreciation; inside views of the art market; and reports from the world of design.

There is a $35 entry fee; however, the Northbrook Public Library (sponsor of the show) does not take a commission on sales. Woo hoo!
