Artists are invited to submit entries for a new exhibit at Tall Grass Gallery, WINDOWS AND DOORS.
Artists are invited to share interpretations of windows or doors - actually looking at, into, out of, or through, as well as the symbolic meanings and metaphors that could be expressed with them.
FOR THIS EXHIBIT:
Consider:
> Images of windows or doors, up close or from a distance, as representational, abstracted, invented, imagined.
> Images of windows or doors as symbolic meanings and metaphors that could be interpreted or expressed: closing and opening; crossing through or over; change, transitions; invitations to escape, freedom, light, new possibilities, destinations, sanctuary, protection, privacy, etc.
> Works may be images of windows or doors, or actual objects incorporated into mixed media constructions, installations or sculptures.
> All sizes, styles and formats will be accepted for consideration.
> Any medium (except video) is acceptable:
* painting (oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, etc.)
* drawing (pencil, ink, charcoal, scratchboard, etc.)
* printmaking (linocut, etching, engraving, silkscreen, etc.)
* photography * digital works * graphic design
* mixed media; collage * books
* sculpture (3D, relief, installation, etc.)
* fiber * glass * ceramics * metal
> Various traditional criteria will be considered in choosing works for
the show - compositional elements, use of media, technical skill, etc. as well as each artist's unique vision and choices made, and the impact and lasting impression of the piece.
SOME EXAMPLES:
> Views of architecture, urban or rural; specific windows or doors of buildings or vehicles.
> Views from a kitchen window to the back yard outside; from a high rise window looking at the city below; from a
tractor window surveying a corn field; from a plane window seeing a town beneath the clouds, etc.
> Views of someone standing at a door; the ragged texture of a broken screen door; the open doors of a church, looking
in at rows of pews and the altar; from a police car window with lights focused on an accident on the expressway, etc.
> Special treasures lining a window sill; a cat curled up on
a ledge in front of a window; a bakery window with cakes and pies lined up on stands inside; a rugged, worn barn door selected
for the beauty of its weathered surface and history, etc.
