Call for Submissions, Corcoran College of Art + Design, Washington DC: Art & Technology Exhibition

Deadline: June 8th, 2012

Description:  Gallery 31 of the Corcoran College of Art + Design is pleased to announce the call for submissions for its new show dedicated to art and technology to be displayed from 2012-08-06 through 2012-09-02. The exhibition is aiming to explore the phenomenon of innovative technologies in relation to contemporary art (or: the relation of contemporary art to new technologies). Although the emphasis will be on exploring the art practices when a machine makes a vast amount of work, artists working in a way that opposes technology may also apply (we are interested in yarn bombing etc) This call seeks works addressing the recent tendency of personal fabrication of things, labs and the emergence of do-it-yourself communities.

The show is curated by the Corcoran College of Art + Design’s Department of College Exhibitions

Submission Guidelines:
- Please log on to www.corcoran.edu/content/call-entries
- Select “Call For Entry: Art and Technology Exhibition” from the Exhibition Title drop-down menu
- All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required for submission
- Maximum of 3 submissions
- You may submit up to three images as JPEGS (resolution72 dpi), not to exceed one megabyte. Diptych, triptych, and works in a series will be accepted and may be considered one submission.
- Please be specific with the medium; for example, do not write “mixed media” or “painting”. Identify exactly what materials you used to create your piece, for example “monoprint, graphite, ink on paper” or “acrylic on canvas”.
- Label images as follows:  Lastname_firstname_title_size_medium.jpg
i.e. Doe_Jane_untitled_30x42_Oil on Canvas_jpg

GALLERY 31 is the Corcoran’s dedicated exhibition space for the Corcoran College of Art + Design. The space hosts exhibitions by the Corcoran’s students, alumni, faculty, and visiting artists. The name was selected by the students, referring to the area’s previous designation as “Room 31” in original Corcoran plans. Located at the New York Avenue entrance of the Corcoran, Gallery 31 is open during Gallery hours and is free to the public.

Questions: For more information, please email them at collegexhibitions@corcoran.org

Applications are available through SlideRoom (https://sfgov.slideroom.com/), an on-line application system for calls for entry.  There is no charge to artists for using SlideRoom. If you are a first time user of SlideRoom, please allow adequate time to learn the use of this system.  Applications will not be accepted after the deadline.

Eligibility: Eligibility is open to professional, practicing artists residing in the Western Regions of the United States. These states include, and are limited to: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, or Wyoming. Entries not meeting eligibility guidelines shall be withdrawn from consideration. Artists residing outside these 13 states should NOT apply for this project.

Site Description: The Port of San Francisco has retained the Arts Commission to assist in the commissioning of a public artwork to be located at Pier 92, near the intersection of Illinois and Cargo Way, along San Francisco’s southern waterfront. The site is primarily an industrial area with shipping cranes and two large grain silos that have not been in use since the 1970s. While the majority of traffic along Cargo Way is industrial, the Blue Greenway project will create open spaces along the waterfront that will attract a diversity of activities for Bay Area residents and visitors to the City.

Artwork Opportunity: Artwork opportunities may include a mural or kinetic artwork on the exterior wall of the northern grain silo or a lighting or multi-media project that illuminates or projects on the cranes or silos in the day or at night.  Pier 92 is located at the entrance to the Bayview community and the artwork should make a strong visual statement in keeping with the gateway experience and industrial setting. The work should enliven the area and bring a sense of transformation to the site. The artwork should also have a visual impact from a distance as the silos and cranes are highly visible from surrounding neighborhoods, as well as the 280 and 101 freeways. The work should recognize the maritime and other areas of history of the site.

The artwork is considered a long-term temporary installation, expected to be in a place for a minimum of 5 years. The artwork will be reversible in that it may be painted over or removed.

Artists should note that are some limitations for access to the artwork sites. For example, access to the cranes is only feasible from the water, and while the interior staircase of the northern silo is accessible, the interior of the southern silo is not. The Port will work closely with the artist finalists to provide more information during the proposal development phase.

Project Budget: The total budget for artwork is $190,000, inclusive of all artist’s fees, associated expenses for design, fabrication, insurance, transportation and installation, and a project contingency of 10% to 20% depending on the nature of the project.

>>Artist Workshop for this Port Pier 92 Public Art Project on June 2nd, 2012 at 11:00am.  The Port and the Arts Commission are hosting a workshop at the EcoCenter to provide information to interested artists about the opportunities at the site, the selection process, and the application process. http://bayareaartgrind.com/events-2/june-2nd-2012-san-francisco-arts-commission-artist-workshop-for-port-pier-92-public-art-project/

Call for Submissions, SIGGRAPH Asia 2012 Art Gallery: Echo

Deadline: June 5th, 2012

The duality of real and virtual existence, seemingly, leans to its virtual side exponentially in this media era. Can an absence from the physical world resonate with the virtual presence, or vice-versa? Through an interdisciplinary perspective, SIGGRAPH Asia 2012 Art Gallery: Echo is seeking evidence of digital activities in the physical world and the impact of natural phenomena in cyberspace. Artistic and scientific explorations will “echo” between digital and analog spaces and fabricate a hybrid model, in which, the duality merges into a uniformed and ubiquitous state. What are our perceptions and expressions of time and space in this model, then?

Explorations may include functional, structural, cultural, emotional, experiential or metaphorical approaches. All forms of digitally-mediated art works, especially kinetic and interactive ones, are highly encouraged. The gallery mainly considers, but is not limited to, the following topics:
• 2D and 3D artworks, such as digital prints, paintings, and sculptures
• Interactive, electronically-mediated, mixed media performances
• Interactive installations, landscapes, art environments
• Web-based art, responsive media
• Time-based art work
• Artworks using digital communities, robotics, touch-screens, wearable art
• Artworks using digital audio

Submitted works will be reviewed by a jury, and selected works will be exhibited in a gallery space at SIGGRAPH Asia 2012 in Singapore.
