Call for proposals from artists and curators for its 2011 exhibition calendar
Extended Postmark Deadline: April 16, 2010
"Anatomy in the Gallery," a rotating exhibition program at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago, showcases medically inspired contemporary art within the unique context of the Museum’s historical collections and exhibits. The program was begun in 1998 to help fulfill the Museum's mission of enriching its visitors' lives by enhancing their knowledge and understanding of surgery and related sciences. "Anatomy in the Gallery" will be accepting proposals for the 2011 exhibition year until April 16, 2010.
Exhibition Calendar for 2011
March 4–May 20, 2011
June 3–August 19, 2011
September 2–November 18, 2011
December 2, 2011–February 17, 2012
Two exhibitions are presented concurrently during every eleven-week exhibition period, one in each of the Museum’s adjacent galleries, for a total of eight exhibition opportunities a year. Please indicate in your submission if you would be unable to show your work during one or more of the exhibition periods.
Proposals are accepted at any time, but the postmark deadline to be considered for 2011 is April 16, 2010. Proposals sent after that date will automatically be considered for the next application period.
The medical theme is open to interpretation, but figure studies without additional medical content do not qualify. Individual artists, groups, and curators are eligible to submit proposals. Work in any medium will be considered; however, the physical limitations of the galleries may factor into the committee’s decisions.
