Exhibition Opportunity: These Territories Three

These Territories Three

December 8th, 2009 you have the opportunity to represent the state of Ohio in a mail art show housed within the BLANK Gallery in Gainesville, Florida. As long as you live in Ohio you are eligible. The parameters are by no means limited, as long as your object, painting, poem, photograph, or whatever you decide is “art” fits within an envelope, a box, a paper bag, you choose the vehicle that gets the object here, as long as the package is no larger than 7 1/2 by 5 1/8 by 14 3/8 inches. (This is the size of an average shoebox)

Feel free to spruce up the exterior of your package but keep in mind, it’s what’s inside that counts.

The theme of the show is “roots”, interpret this anyway you would like. Three individuals are curating this show, one from Kentucky, one from Illinois, and myself from Sunbury, Ohio. The plan is to take one idea, propose it to three states and try to see the differences in how the word “roots” is translated into our different cultures, societies, regions and so on.

Please ship your package to me as soon as possible; the deadline is December 1, 2009.

If you would like your piece returned either prepay for shipping and enclose the label or send check or money order made out to Samuel D. Kingsley for the cost of return shipping.

Please enclose the following information within your package:

Name

Where you call home

Where you live

Date of birth

Title of piece

Year created

If you have any questions please email me at samueldkingsley@gmail.com

Call For Entry: Columbus Women's Empowerment Mural

Planned Parenthood is sponsoring a women's empowerment mural and we need YOUR help!! We need you to submit to this mural AND spread to spread the word to anyone you think may be interested.

And...you don't have to be a professional muralist to feel like your submission is mural-worthy. Graphic designers, illustrators, painters, artistically-minded women, doodlers, etc. are all strongly encouraged to submit. The deadline is TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10th at 6:00 p.m.

So what does female empowerment mean to you? How do race/ethnicity and class intersect with female empowerment? How does empowerment look when traced from generation to generation? Still stuck? The following quotes may help gear you towards a more specific idea (but you don't have to use them.)

“Women are not inherently passive or peaceful. We're not inherently anything but human.” Robin Morgan

"As we strive to be conscious human beings, we situate ourselves more and more as agents of history. The moment we reject being objects, we begin to be the subjects of our desires." Inés Hernández Avila

Have a better idea? If yes, then great! If not, just use whatever comes to your mind when you think about empowerment, whether it be in your own life or the lives of other women.

Guidelines:
- Image must be able to be enlarged to a size of roughly 10' X 15'. Actual size and location of wall to be determined.
- Artists may only use a total of five colors (not including black and white.)
- Up to two images may be submitted for consideration.
- Artists should be able to work with volunteers as they will be helping to paint the finished design.
- Submit your images in JPEG format to Columbusmural@gmail.com
- Visit our blog at columbusmural.blogspot.com
