Fellowship 15: Projects by Christopher Meerdo & Matthew Conboy
Exhibition: January 16 – March 21, 2015
Opening Reception: Friday, January 16, 2015 | 6:00 – 9:00 PM
Fellowship 15: Projects by Christopher Meerdo & Matthew Conboy features solo exhibitions from our International Award and Keystone Award winners, selected from an open call for entries in mid-2014.
International Award winner Christopher Meerdo (Chicago, IL) showcases work from a number of his projects, which explore notions of paranoia, entropy, and memorial through use of data processing, photography, installation, and moving images. Meerdo’s photographs ask the view to challenge their own ideas of objective awareness by altering the given landscape in dreamlike ways.
Keystone Award winner Matthew Conboy (Pittsburgh, PA) showcases Objects in mirror are closer than they appear, which documents a surreal 88-acre skate park located in rural southeast Ohio. Skatopia functions as a pilgrimage site for skaters from around the world, a refuge for young people looking for direction in their lives, and an anarchist commune. Through his photographs, Conboy wished to turn his camera away from the skaters, and instead search for the narrative threads that link the unique individuals portrayed in his images to each other and to the physical and cultural landscapes of southeast Ohio.
Now in its 15th year, Fellowship, our international photography competition, recognizes both rising talent and established photographers from all corners of the globe and from the state of Pennsylvania.
This year’s juror was Allison Grant, Assistant Curator, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, IL.
For more information on the award winners, please visit our website.

Sharing Space: Gyorgy Beck and Sylvia Plachy
January 20 – February 14, 2015
Reception: Friday, January 30, 2015 | 5:30 to 8:00 PM
Arlington – The Gallery at UTA is pleased to present Sharing Space: Gyorgy Beck and Sylvia Plachy, featuring two Hungarian-born artists who share space in this exhibition in both the literal and metaphysical sense. Longtime friends, Plachy and Beck are collaborating with a selection of works from their independent careers that demonstrate a shared poetic approach. Both artists create evocative photographic images that convey a similar, often dream-like aesthetic while using very different subjects, mediums and methods. Plachy, an award-winning photographer based in New York, captures humanistic vignettes with her camera, that express her unique viewpoint through subtle choices of subject and focus. Beck, currently a visiting senior lecturer in the Art and Art History Department at UTA, creates films and photo-based works by digitally combining and reworking imagery, and experimenting with printing techniques and surfaces to convey his thoughtful, meditative vision.
In association with the exhibition, Sylvia Plachy will discuss her work in an hour-long gallery talk on Thursday, January 29, beginning at 12:30 pm in The Gallery at UTA. There will be a reception on Friday, January 30 from 5:30 to 8 pm with brief remarks by both artists at 6:30 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
Gallery hours are 10 am until 5 pm Monday through Friday and noon until 5 pm on Saturday. The Gallery is located in the Fine Art Building, room 169, at 502 S. Cooper Street, Arlington, TX. For more information contact Benito Huerta or Patricia Healy (817) 272-5658 or http://www.uta.edu/gallery.
The 2014 – 2015 exhibition schedule is made possible by the generous support of Arlington Camera, the Hanley Foundation, Hilton Arlington, and Nerwin & Martin.

Feminism (n.): Plural | Woman Made Gallery
Juror: Claudine Isé
Woman Made Gallery is pleased to announce their first call for art of 2015, juried by new Executive Director Claudine Isé.
Exhibition Dates: May 8-June 25, 2015
“When feminism falls short of our expectations,” writes Roxane Gay in her 2014 book Bad Feminist, “we decide the problem is with feminism rather than with the flawed people who act in the name of the movement.” Inspired by the themes articulated in Gay’s book, WMG invites artists of all genders to submit works that ask us to rethink what feminism is, was, and can be.
The guiding premise of “Feminism (n.) Plural” is that feminism is not a monolithic movement but instead an ever-evolving concept. There is no capital F “Feminism” acting as the Law to which its subjects must uncritically adhere-that, of course, is the definition of Patriarchy. There are instead plural feminisms through which people of various gender identifications, ages, and cultural and ethnic backgrounds espouse and enact their belief in a just and equal society.
The thematic concept behind “Feminism (n.) Plural” is intentionally broad; we seek work in all media, and are especially interested in works whose form and/or content addresses feminism in bold and unexpected ways: for example, works that blur categories or create space for nonconforming gender identities, works that take on pop cultural framings of female experience and/or feminism, and works that explore feminist movements taking place in various historical, cultural, ethnic, and/or geographic contexts.
To Submit Work:
The application fee for juried exhibitions is $30 for up to three images of works, including details. Artists who experience financial hardship may be exempt from paying the entry fee; please send us an email to request a fee waiver: gallery@womanmade.org All applicants should submit an artist’s statement explaining how their work relates to the exhibition’s theme. Please visit WMG’s website for more details.
Membership is not required in order to enter juried shows or exhibit at WMG. Artists do not have to log in to submit an entry online, although creating an online entry in a single session is the best way to submit. We suggest that you have your images, titles, mediums, sizes and statement readily available for uploading.
Artists may submit images of up to three works by e-mail with jpgs and application attached, but we strongly prefer that you submit images online as digital files. Please include one detail per work only if necessary, as with book art or three-dimensional works or if areas in two-dimensional work need to be clarified. Accepted artworks must not exceed 72″ horizontally or have been previously shown at WMG.
L-R: A’Riyah, Angel(a), Elijah and LaDonte (Jubilee), pigment prints, 30 x 20.
