Opening Reception Thursday September 8, 7-9pm
Show your work at our gallery in our Un-Juried Competition:
Snap to Grid. In our second annual exhibition of this kind
participants each upload one image to be printed on high quality
paper and hung in a grid in our gallery. The show will be widely
promoted and will include a reception for the artists.
After the exhibition the images and artist information will be
available to view in our artist portfolios. Artwork for future exhibits
will be selected from the portfolios, and will also be available for
review by area gallerists, curators and arts journalists.
Everybody wins!
Entry fee $30US. Proceeds benefit gallery programs.
Show is international, open to all geographical locations.
Entrants submit one JPEG file of original work up to 2mb. All
styles of 2D artwork and photography where digital processes of
any kind were integral to the creation of the images are
acceptable. Digital video stills and screen shots of web/new
media are acceptable.
Multiple entries are permitted. $30 registration fee for each
additional image. Exhibit is limited to space available, early entry
is advised.
Gallery Statement:
Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its
"Open Call" exhibit where any artist can show up with their art
and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is
shown. The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch
an international experiment of the same nature where the artists
upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The
hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation
(reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980's) where every
work submitted is exhibited. The usual (less than democratic)
selection process where only the precious few are chosen is
turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to
participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge. The
show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history
when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an
age where culture belongs to the "mobblogers" around the
globe. From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful
to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of
"Snap to Grid" becomes an aesthetic experience where each
individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of
its own.
Deadline for entries:
