A Call for Artists…
Artistic Ensembles
Mixed Media Productions
Artists have been exploring the use of mixed media for years. As our culture grows and changes, so does our understanding of “media.” As our society changes, new items enter the market and new terms enter our vocabulary. “Old “items, though they may have been “new” only recently, obsolesce. This constant change can be disconcerting, but it also provides growth in the variety of materials used for artistic expression and encourages viewing objects around us in new ways.
Louise Nevelson, for example, constructed fascinating boxes or “crates.” Jasper Johns used the U.S. flag motif in innovative ways. Mike Nelson creates spaces and whole buildings from found or constructed objects.
The Oxford Community Arts Center is calling for works of art that have been constructed from an array of materials or media, found or recycled objects, or items used in ways other than the purpose for which they were intended, for an exhibit from September 9, 2011 through October. 7, 2011.
Please email photos of your artwork to info@oxarts.org with the “Artistic Ensembles” in the subject line no later than August 18th . You may submit as many pieces as you like for selection, but not more than 2 pieces will be chosen for the exhibit. Include your contact information and a brief bio and description of your work/concepts. All experience levels and any medium will be accepted. Artists will be notified by August 29th. Please email with additional questions.
Art chosen for the exhibit must be turned in to OCAC between August 1 and August 5th. All artwork must be ready to hang or display and labeled on the back with the artists name and contact information, title, description, and price (or NFS if the piece is not for sale, in which case an insurance value must be included). OCAC receives a 20% commission on all sold items.
