The Power of Abstraction

The Power of Abstraction is an online juried exhibition seeking to highlight the continued importance of abstract art in the present moment. From its various highpoints in the 20th-century, abstract art has had to contend with not only the resurgence of figurative and representational works, but also the development of digital art. However, it still possesses a unique and compelling power to organize light, material, color, space, and form in surprising ways. The impetus for abstraction, the inadequacy of representation to capture new reality is no less a pressing force than it was a century ago. Site:Brooklyn is seeking works that continue to develop the visual language of abstraction.

This juried exhibition is open to all artists 18 years of age or older working in all media. Only original works may be submitted. Entry fee is $26.00 for three images, with $10 for each additional image (up to 12 images total). Video submissions are also accepted (up to 3 videos). All entries must be received by August 26, 2024 at 11:59 PM MT. Accepted artists will be required to upload high-resolution photo files of their work. The online exhibition runs from September 27, 2024 to October 27, 2024. Notification of acceptance will be sent on September 6, 2024.

The juror is Alexandra Terry, Curator of Contemporary Art at the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe. Site:Brooklyn Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting the current practice of contemporary artists and is launching a new series of interactive online exhibitions selected by expert jurors.
