Call for Entry | Feminism (n.): Plural

Posted on by

Woman Made Gallery

Due: February 11, 2015
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.

Due: January 5, 2015
Compé ’15 / Project Basho
Juror: Elinor Carucci

For more details and submission: http://compe.onwardphoto.org/2015/details/overview/

About ONWARD:
Project Basho presents ONWARD Compé, an international juried competition for emerging photographers. Each year Compé culminates in a group show of framed prints from the selected finalists, with an opening reception at Summit, ONWARD’s annual photography festival in Philadelphia.

Juried each year by a leading figure in contemporary photography, ONWARD Compé spotlights new, envelope-pushing work that continues to further the medium. Now in its eighth year, Compé has solidified its standing as a highly respected international competition, drawing submissions from across the U.S. and around the globe. The competition seeks to increase the exposure of talented image-makers, create outlets for artists’ work, and present compelling photographs in a cohesive and well-curated exhibition.

ONWARD Compé has an open theme and accepts submissions from any photographer who has never had commercial gallery representation.

Compé and Summit are two components of ONWARD, a multifaceted photography happening that encompasses a photography festival in Philadelphia, an international competition, Workshops for discerning photographers, and Galerie, an online gallery featuring selected photographers.

Juror:
Every year ONWARD invites a distinguished photographer to lend a discerning eye to Compé, serving as guest juror. The guest juror is responsible for choosing 56 noteworthy finalists and ultimately two outstanding grand prize winners from among hundreds of talented competitors.
Elinor Carucci is an Israeli-born photographer who has lived and worked in New York since 1995. Her recent monograph Mother (Prestel, 2013) was included in the New York Times Top 10 Photo Books of 2013 and the Los Angeles Times Year-End Spread of Bold, Inventive Photography Books.

This year’s guest juror is Elinor Carucci.

Carucci began working on Mother when pregnant with twins in 2004, and continued to photograph her family’s daily life over the course of nearly a decade. The result is a startlingly emotive series that, through intensely personal views of both blissful and painful moments, paradoxically reveals the universal experience of family intimacy. A similar theme is present in much of Carucci’s earlier autobiographical work, including the series Closer (2002).
