Sweeping up the Mess

Call for Entries: Sweeping up the Mess
Entries Due: 11:59 PM, August 15, 2011

Sweeping up the Mess is a juried exhibit of painting, sculpture, poetry, and other art forms inspired by, and which make use of, custodial supplies.

Complete exhibit details, are available at  www.sweepingupthemess.blogspot.com

Entries Due: 11:59 PM, August 15, 2011

Guest Curator: Darin White

Hillyard is excited to announce that Darin White, Lawrence, KS, has agreed to guest curate and jury the Sweeping up the Mess exhibit. White's recent curatorial work includes: Anthropoi, White Show, Dry Bones, and TRANS*parent TRANS*lucent which was hailed by Review Mid-America's Visual Arts Publication as being "mesmerizing, beautiful, puzzling, and disturbing, but what perhaps makes it successful overall is the effective curation. White has put together an exhibition that is direct and sensible; it creates an environment capable of producing dialogue between viewers." In its review of Anthropoi, the publication states, "White's curatorial and promotional skills are causing much murmur in Lawrence's fairly tight-knit arts community."

Exhibit Sales/Awards:

Hillyard takes a 20% commission of all sales with 80% going to the artist. Three Artists and Three Poets, whom the jury considers deserving, will be awarded solo shows on display in the White Carpet Gallery at Hillyard.  Total awards and display dates may vary at the sole discretion of Hillyard.

Call for Entries 2011
Deadline for Entries: 3 September 2011

Artists are invited to submit works for the 2011 exhibition

Sponsored by ING Wholesale Banking, this is an exhibition of small works independently selected by six prominent figures from the art world: two artists, two collectors and two critics.

The 2011 selectors will include: Artists, Eileen Cooper RA and Lisa Wright; Collectors, John Pluthero (Chairman, Cable & Wireless Worldwide and founder of abstract critical) and John Deston (Gallery Manger, The Mall Galleries, London) and critics, Ossian Ward (Visual Arts Editor, Time Out, London) and Brian Sewell (Art Critic). They will each select and curate their own section of the exhibition.

The uniqueness of having each work chosen by an eminent individual, unlike in a group selected show, has earned the exhibition an excellent reputation among art lovers and collectors alike.  Work is selected by open submission and also from artists invited by the selectors. The works of lesser-known artists are given the opportunity to hang alongside the work of more established artists helping to connect hundreds of new artists with new audiences.

Painting, prints, drawing, photography and sculpture are accepted, the only criteria being that works should not exceed 20 inches in their largest dimension and that all works must be for sale. Artists may submit up to six works. An exhibition of selected works will take place at The Mall Galleries, London from 10 – 20 November 2011.

Deadline for Entries: 3 September 2011

Ethnographic Terminalia 2011: Montreal

International Call for Submissions: Ethnographic Terminalia 2011: Montréal
field, studio, lab

Submission deadline: 24 June 2011 @ 5pm PST.
www.ethnographicterminalia.org
ethnographicterminalia@gmail.com

The terminus is the end, the boundary, and the border; of course the terminus is also a beginning as well as its own place, its own site of experience and encounter.
Ethnographic Terminalia is an initiative that brings artists and anthropologists together to engage emerging research through installation and exhibition. As a platform from which divergent modes and methodologies of inquiry are articulated, Ethnographic Terminalia asks what lies within and beyond disciplinary territories, and how those boundaries shape the representation of cultural practice. Organized as a para-site to the annual Meetings of the American Anthropological Association, the gallery show will take place in Montréal, Canada, at Eastern Bloc Centre for New Media and Interdisciplinary Art (14-20 November 2011). Now in its third year, Ethnographic Terminalia represents a diversity of material, conceptual, and creative engagements with art and anthropology, capturing a multiplicity of mediums where anthropology and art intersect. These include: sound, drawing, sculpture, photography, printmaking, video, film, internet and multi-media, and engage both gallery spaces and site-specific locations.

Panamanian artist Humberto Vélez has accepted our invitation to anchor the 2011 exhibition with a video documentation of his collaborative work, The Awakening. The Awakening activates questions at the heart of collaboration, ethnographic methods of investigation, and aesthetic production emerging from his “Aesthetics of Collaboration” project developed with curator Emelie Chhangur at the Art Gallery of York University, the Mississauga New Credit First Nations, and Monkey Vault Gym Parkour artists in Toronto, Canada. In Ethnographic Terminalia 2011, Vélez’s work will be exhibited alongside work selected by the curatorial collective, and works produced by our local partnering organizer, Concordia University’s Center for Ethnographic Research and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Violence (CEREV), http://cerev.concordia.ca/.

We seek projects in any medium for inclusion in Ethnographic Terminalia 2011 that take up the theme:  field, studio, lab. These three locations––the field, the studio, the lab––comprise both their own communities of practice, and form sites of inquiry and production for artists and anthropologists. Field, studio, and lab are not only places where knowledge is produced, or ethnographic data gathered, but are spaces of everyday life and local cultural production; they are generative sites of encounter, negotiation, conflict, celebration, failure, disappointment and revelation—all of which can unsettle (or ossify) discursive, disciplinary, and methodological boundaries. 

Submission Format:
Please compile into one Word-format (.doc) document:
Personal contact information (email, phone, postal address)
Title of project
An artist’s statement of project (up to 300 words)
A biographical statement (100 words)
A current CV or résumé
A technical proposal for installation of your piece and footprint with measurements (dimensions [in metric], as well as technical requirements. Please be as specific as possible about any technologies that you will require or provide)*

Submissions also should include:
3 digital images (sized 300 dpi 4x6”) of the proposed piece
A link to a website for video works

Please note that all submissions will become part of an archive that will be displayed as part of the web-based presence of this year’s exhibition. By submitting an application you are granting the Ethnographic Terminalia collective full permission to deposit a record of your submission in this archive, and any future publications resulting from Ethnographic Terminalia 2011: Montréal—field, studio, lab. This exciting dimension of the exhibition traces out the larger conversation around the exhibition, providing public visibility for projects that are not installed in the gallery due to logistics and space.

*Works need to arrive in Montréal between November 1-5 2011 to coordinate installation. If you are unable to work with these dates please indicate this in your proposal so that alternative arrangements can be made. Ethnographic Terminalia 2011: Montréal—field, studio, lab will run from 14-21 November 2011. The Opening Reception will take place on Friday 18 November 2011 at 7pm at Eastern Bloc Center for New Media. A public artist’s talk with Humberto Vélez will take place prior to the Opening Reception at 5:30pm. (Schedule of events is subject to change).
