Perturbation

Perturbation comes from the old French word "perturbacion" meaning disturbing, distressing, or a state of anxiety and mental uneasiness. This juried exhibition will showcase art that represents this word. Works can include themes of gothic, macabre, horror, and mental health, but the gallery is open to all literal and symbolic interpretations related to perturbation. The goal of the exhibition is to create a unique and unsettling gallery experience.

The exhibit is open to all artists who are at least 18 years of age. Both fine art and new media works are accepted including painting, drawing, sculpture, prints, photography, digital illustrations, videos, and mixed media. All entries must be original and created within the last two years. Artwork must be no larger than 48" in width measured horizontally, and sculptures should not exceed 11 ft. in height due to gallery space. All work must be accurately represented in jpeg images. Professional presentation is required: 2D artwork must be framed with a secure way to hang, canvas sides and staples must be covered, and sculptures must be fully assembled and structurally sound with detailed installation instructions if necessary.

Delivery and pick-up of artwork is the artist's responsibility. Artists may personally drop-off and pick-up during gallery hours or ship their work; if shipping, the artist is responsible for return shipping using a sturdy, reusable package. Any work not picked up 30 days after the end of the show will become property of the gallery. Exhibition dates are February 4 – March 1, 2019, with an opening reception on February 4 from 4-7pm. Artwork delivery is January 14-19, 2019 during gallery hours or by appointment. Pickup is March 4-6, 2019. Gallery address: 2300 S. Washington St, Kokomo, IN 46904-9003.
