Remnant #10

This work is the tenth in a series of "Remnants", which were all inspired by very old, heavily patched and stitched textiles, (such as certain types of boro and utilitarian quilts) and the old, worn and weathered rural structures that surround where I live, (and where straight lines cease to exist.)

The brand new Textile Arts Center is a gorgeous street level space located in Brooklyn, NYC. The center provides an environment for the professional, the artist, and the student. With an invested interest in the conservation of hand weaving and other fiber arts, the Center offers a fully equipped studio and gallery space for those with enthusiasm and curiosity, with and without experience.

The Textile Art Center calls all fiber artists who wish to submit work to their gallery opening exhibition, which will run from September 16, 2010 to October 11, 2010 at the Textile Arts Center's new location on Carroll Street. In addition, participating artists will have the opportunity to give a talk about their work. Those talks will be scheduled in early October.

As part of our opening party and premier exhibition artist & curator, Joetta Maue, is curating the exhibition of cutting edge fiber work. We are looking for fiber work that pushes the envelope and is a bit of the unexpected. Any fiber technique and materials can be submitted. We hope to see large scale pieces, installation work, suspended and sculptural work, as well as performance, site -specific works, and video.

Every submission should include $30.00 entry fee, which is good for 5 works per entry with a maximum of 1 detail per entry.

“In Shades of Gray”
Juried Art Exhibition
The Pump House Regional Arts Center
La Crosse, Wisconsin
November 4 to December 23, 2010


“In Shades of Gray” explores the use of monochromatic, “black and white” in art. By eliminating the use of color, artists must address the other elements in their work and thus be challenged to look at their process in a new light. The Pump House Regional Arts Center is challenging artists to submit work for a juried exhibition, in media such as sculpture, paper, ceramics, paint, wood, metal, or any other media that artists may choose to work with including photography. The use of color will not be permitted.

Eligibility:

Acceptable Media:
Original 2-D and 3-D artwork in any medium, with the exception of film, video, and “live art.” Work must not exceed 48” in any dimension (including frame) and 70 lbs in weight. Only original work is allowed; reproductions of work from kits are not permitted.

Jury Fee:
A non-refundable fee of $25.00 will entitle the artist to submit artwork for jury. Current Pump House members may enter 3 pieces of artwork for jury, non members may enter 2 pieces. Please submit only ONE image per work. For 3-D work, more than a single image may be provided.

Awards:
Cash prizes of $1000 for 1st place, $500 for 2nd, and $250 for 3rd place

Sales:
All artwork must be for sale. There is a commission fee of 40%.
