ART ON THE GO

In our mobile world, it seems that all of life revolves around fast food, GPS and mobile phones.  Maps have become a rarely used–and lately a little understood–artform. 

When I think of maps as an artform, I think of the fantastical maps of Canadian Artist Shane Watt(Ironic considering the call is limited to US Artists).  So, I was really excited to find this Call for Entries from Sebastopol Center for the Arts celebrating the Map as Art.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Mapworks

Check out the Sebastopol Center for the Arts online!Sebastopol Center for the Arts invites artists living in the United States to submit work to Mapworks: the Map as Art.  SCA is looking for art which references maps and mapmaking. 

This may be done directly or indirectly, metaphorically, or conceptually.  The terrain may be (but is not limited to) geographic, psychological, political, historical, cultural, mathematical, imaginary, or personal. 

All media is acceptable, including installation. Video and film should be submitted as a DVD in loops no longer than 4 minutes; selected artists will need to supply their own equipment for display.

Check out Kim Anno's Blog!JUROR: Kim Anno is a painter, bookmaker, collaborator and Professor and Chair of Painting, at the California College of the Arts, San Francisco.  Her advocacy of the arts has enjoined her talents as curator, artist-in-residence, juror, lecturer, and interviewer.  In addition, her diverse practice has led her into important collaborations with writers, visual and performance artists.

DEADLINE: Hand-delivered entries will be accepted at SCA on Monday, August 30, between 3 and 6 pm.  Entries by jpegs on CD must arrive by 5 pm, on or by that date.  Please see prospectus for complete guidelines.
