Projections: A Survey of Wall-based Sculpture
DEADLINE FEBRUARY 01, 2008
United States Ohio, Cincinnati
An International Competitive Juried Survey of Wall-based Sculpture Projections invites artists to submit works of art that are clearly sculptural, with three-dimensional space a key element, but which are not in any way floor (or pedestal) based. Works will be either wall or ceiling mounted. This concept pushes the boundaries of the general expectation regarding the weightiness of sculptures, so often seen as being earth-bound and gravity-defined. Eligibility: Projections is open to everyone. Professionals as well as students are encouraged to enter. Entries must represent original works of art or design.
Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media. This can include works that stretch the boundaries of the assumed definitions of sculpture.Jury and Curator: Manifest`s selection process involves a complex two-part system. This exhibit will be juried by a 4-6 member panel of professional and academic advisors with a broad range of expertise. The jury will then pass along their recommendations to the exhibit curator, Jason Franz (Manifest`s Executive Director) who will make the final selections from the jury-approved pool. Manifest will produce a full-color catalog documenting the work in Projections. Exhibitors will receive a 50% discount on one copy of the catalog. For examples of past catalogs visit Manifest Press.Accepted work will remain on display for the duration of the exhibition.Each work submitted must be accompanied by a $10 non-refundable entry fee. Number of entries is unlimited. Entry fee must be paid by check or money order made payable to MANIFEST, or by credit card via PayPal. (If paying by PayPal PLEASE use the paypal link provided on the page that follows the submission of the online entry form.) Detail images may be included at no additional cost.
Sale of Work: All work, unless indicated as not for sale (NFS), will be available for sale during exhibit. Manifest Gallery will retain a commission of 30% on all artwork sold during the exhibition. Entrants can choose to submit artwork in either slide or digital format (see below). Manifest Gallery will retain the submitted images of accepted artwork and reserves the right to use the images in publications and gallery publicity.
