ABOUT THE CALL FOR ENTRIES
FOCUS: In Flux: Change is one of those life forces that – however bedeviling and beguiling – is unavoidable. It manifests in ways that are incremental as well as very suddenly transformative. All around and within us, shifts take place that spool into new outcomes and experiences. How does this state of flux manifest within your creative work? Are chemical or physical shifts significant in your use of materials? Are you presenting concerns with the fleeting, ephemeral qualities of time or matter?
This exhibition will consider how notions of change are expressed pictorially and conceptually through a variety of media. All mediums are welcome, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation, and mixed media. We invite artists to explore and express their interpretation of flux in its many forms and manifestations.
As a Focus exhibition, 8-10 artists will be selected to display a small body of work, approximately 2-6 works each, on the wall or floor.
