Manifest Announces Second Annual Exhibit T A P P E D 2 An exhibit of works by professors and their students (past or present) Main Gallery and Drawing Room Opening Reception 6-9p.m. on Friday, December 16 Exhibit continues: December 17, 2011 - January 13, 2012 The relationship between art students and their professors can be a powerful one. Even when this bond is left unstated, we carry our professors' voices forward in time as we mature as artists and people. We eventually realize that the instruction given by our teachers during our relatively brief careers as students continues to expand within us. We realize that the learning they inspired (or insisted upon) is a chain-reaction process that develops across our lifetime. All of us who have been students carry forward our professors' legacy in one form or another. And those who are, or have been professors, bear witness to the potency of studenthood. Out of respect for this student-teacher bond, and in honor of professors working hard to help their students tap into a higher mind relative to art and life, we offer TAPPED, the second annual exhibit that presents works of art by current or former professor/student pairs in our Main Gallery and Drawing Room in Cincinnati. (The Second Annual Manifest Prize (ONE.2) will be presented alongside TAPPED in the Parallel Space.) For this exhibit 224 artists submitted 522 works for consideration. Twenty-eight works by the following 28 artists from fourteen states were selected for presentation in the gallery and catalog. The artists are listed in pairings to illustrate their past or present relationships. Seven of these are current students at the college level, including students from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Yale University. Five artists are from the Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana region. The states of California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, and Texas are represented.

(Workshop details and registration can be found here.) All of Manifest's calls for entry are competitive. The stiffness of the competition has increased in proportion to Manifest's growing reputation, powerful mission, and international reach. Our mission to stand for quality, to create a system whereby works are judged with objectivity as a primary aim, and assembled with as little subjective ego as possible has gained the respect of thousands of artists all over the world, and a vast following of arts lovers, patrons, and supporters. We maintain that a smaller gallery enables intensely refined exhibits to take place, and we respect the creative principle of reduction to an essential conclusive statement for each exhibit we produce. This is what has led to the high caliber of each Manifest exhibit, and to the gallery's notable reputation. With this principle of reduction in mind, we were once again inspired by the intensity of our jury process to whittle down a collection of entries to a suitable exhibit. With this we determined to push the process to the ultimate limit - from among hundreds to select ONE single work to be exhibited in a gallery all to itself. Manifest's jury process for ONE included three levels of jury review of 252 works by 119 artists by a total of 10 different jurors. Each level resulted in fewer works passing on to the next, until a winner was reached. The size and nature of the works considered was not a factor in the jury scoring and selection. The winning work is a painting entitled "Red Plate (after Lopez)" by Brett Eberhardt of Macomb, Illinois. It will be the recipient of the 2nd annual MANIFEST PRIZE, and presented in the Parallel Space Gallery as the highlight of the process, an honor to the artist, and a poignant statement for gallery visitors. The Manifest Prize is now an annual offering, and with anticipated increased sponsorship the prize amount will grow in coming years. Five semi-finalists will also be featured in the full-color exhibit catalog. These are works by Evan Boggess, Bain Butcher, Katherine Mann, Nicole McCormick Santiago, and Stephen Wright. |
