New Revolutions

Studio Channel Islands invites applications of all art forms to respond to the themes of new beginnings, change and growth. This can be interpreted through performance, video, sound, sculpture, and/or visual artistic expression. The exhibition runs January 4, 2018 – January 26, 2019.

Artists are invited to make a statement about 2019 and what they hope to achieve within the year. The prospectus asks artists to consider the bigger picture, the revolution of our planet around the Sun, and the great movements of time and space through which we must travel to complete the year. What new ideas might ignite a year filled with promise? What transformations might occur to inspire new work? Artists are invited to respond with work that reflects the bigger picture of our community, our nation and our planet.

Categories accepted include 2D, 3D, video, film, performance, and installation. The exhibition does accept video, film, performance art, installation and works requiring an external electrical source.
