Security - Call for Art
OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS: SECURITY
Exhibition dates: March 10-27, 2010
Curated by: Stephanie Ellis and Serena Wellen
Deadline for Submission: Monday, January 11, 2010
Root Division invites artists working in all genres to submit work for an exhibition called Security.
Curatorial statement: Security means simply, the provision of safety. Se-curity is related to the oldest menaing of curate: to care for souls. Today the business of security is a global and corporate phenomenon. The primary agenda is the production of fear; the ideal consumer is immobilized by dread. Security, the exhibition, addresses this pivot between asylum and alarm. We seek artists who tackle the charms or fetishes for security's sell. How we define security for our communities and the world, will determine how we get there and where we arrive.
Eligibility requirements:
Artwork submitted for review (or work very similar in nature to that submitted) must be available for listed exhibition dates.
Artists who are not from the SF Bay Area must be able to cover any costs incurred in getting the work to and from the gallery.

It has been a rough past week - i want to focus on painting and drawing with no thoughts towards applying to anything else. My work was rejected by GRO and Selections 2010. Waiting to hear from SFCVB but since i have work there now, i would be surprised if my paintings were selected again, considering it is the abstractions which are not very popular.
