KINETICA (movement in art) - MANIFEST, Cincinnati, OH
CALL FOR ENTRIES
Deadline for Submissions: March 11, 2013
Submission fee: $12 per work
An International Competitive Exhibit Exploring Movement in Art (or design)
Seeking kinetic works as well as non-kinetic works representing movement
All artists included in the project receive a complimentary copy of the full-color companion exhibit catalog.
Sometimes we take movement for granted. The fact that the Earth is rotating at 1000 miles per hour, or hurtling through space around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour goes practically unnoticed by everyone, except perhaps when one stops to appreciate just why the sun rises and sets, or why we experience seasons. Yet everything about our lives, and life on Earth, is inextricably linked to movement of one form or another.
In honor of the phenomenon of transitioning through space, relative location, and action (and reaction), Manifest invites artists, designers, and engineers to submit works to this competitive juried gallery exhibit which incorporate literal movement (kinetic in one form or another), as well as non-moving works that depict or are clearly about physical movement.
Manifest is eager to present and document a broadly compelling exhibition, a collection of works featuring movement as their common theme, and to discover just how artists address movement in works of art or design today.
Eligibility: KINETICA is open to everyone. Professionals as well as students are encouraged to enter. Open to artists, designers, engineers, inventors, etc. The only limitation is that entries must represent original works of art, design, or engineering.
Media: Manifest will consider any work that can reasonably be understood to either 1) incorporate literal movement as part of its form (moving parts, whether mechanical, automated, human-powered, etc.), or 2) depict or in some other way include movement as a subject or theme of otherwise non-moving and non-kinetic art. Sculpture, painting, drawing, assemblage, printmaking, photography, video, etc., are all possibly valid media. There are no media restrictions other than that the submissions must be 'visual art', design, engineering, or a combination of scientific/artistic creations. There are no size restrictions beyond what can fit into Manifest's gallery spaces. A general floor plan is available here.
