This juried exhibition investigates how home is perceived in a variety of contemporary contexts.

This exhibition seeks to explore the concept of home in light of these current international and domestic contexts. What does the concept of home mean for the individual and community?

Cinema 07 - An Exhibition of Cinema Inspired Art

Cinema 07
An Exhibition of Cinema Inspired Art
September 16th, 2015 - November 12th, 2015
Deadline:  Monday, August 29th, 11:59pm, 2016
Submission fee: none

Last year we continued our ongoing series of exhibitions designed around cinema as a translated medium. The exhibition, Cinema 06, surpassed our expectations in terms of quality and diversity of the submissions. It was exciting to see how various artists incorporated cinema into their work, whether referencing specific films, genres or cinematic process itself. After the final selections were made, the exhibition consisted of work by 17 artists from 8 cities in 3 countries* and was very well received by the thousands who viewed the work in the gallery and online.

This year, we continue with Cinema 05. We look forward to another great round of submissions.

*Cleveland, OH; Detroit, MI; Chicago, IL; Salisbury, MD; Mishawaka, IN; Seattle, WA; Toronto, Canada; London, UK

Submission Guidelines

All pieces should reference cinema in some way. Work may reference a specific film, director, director's body of work, film genre or movement, etc. Work may also reference cinematic process or the visual language of cinema.

There are no specific size requirements, but anything overly large or small (over six feet/under ten inches) may limit the appeal of the piece in the exhibition.

The most important guideline for submissions is quality. Pieces should tilt toward the fine art end of the spectrum. Please visit the Previous Exhibitions section of our website (http://kennethpaullesko.com/Previous-Exhibitions.htm) to get a sense of our aesthetic.

The exhibition records for Cinema 01 (http://kennethpaullesko.com/Exhibitions/Cinema-01/Cinema-01.htm), Cinema 02 (http://kennethpaullesko.com/Exhibitions/Cinema-02/Cinema-02.htm), Cinema 03 (http://kennethpaullesko.com/Exhibitions/Cinema-03/Cinema-03.htm), Cinema 04 (http://kennethpaullesko.com/Exhibitions/Cinema-04/Cinema-04.htm),Cinema 05 (http://kennethpaullesko.com/Exhibitions/Cinema-05/Cinema-05.htm), and Cinema 06 (http://www.kennethpaullesko.com/Exhibitions/Cinema-06/Cinema-06.htm) should also prove to be a valuable resource.

All pieces should be ready to hang/display (no sawtooth hangers please). Works on paper and photography should be framed behind glass or plexiglass, unless an alternate presentation is contextual to the piece.

Email images (preferably jpgs), with dimensions, medium, title and artist's contact information to gallery@kennethpaullesko.com. Please include "Your Name--Cinema 07 Submission" in the subject. There are no specific requirements concerning resolution, though anything under three megapixels may limit the ability to enlarge details. You may enter up to five pieces. There is no charge for submissions.

These guidelines are meant to be flexible. Painting, sculpture, photography and installation will all be considered. Submissions are fairly open-ended, if you have a piece that doesn't fall into the described parameters (a drawing or print, etc.), but you think it works with the exhibition, send us an email. Similarly, if you have any questions concerning subject matter, or would like feedback on a piece, or an idea for a piece, just send us an email.

Deadline for submissions is Sunday, August 28th, 11:59pm. Accepted artists will be notified on or before August 31st. Pieces must be shipped to arrive no later than September 12th.

Joya: arte + ecologia

Joya: arte + ecologia
arts led field research centre
Deadline: 11 September 2016

We call Joya: arte + ecología ‘an arts led field research centre’. The research is manifested through our arts residency (Joya: AiR) and also collaborations with artists on projects we generate and transdiciplinary programmes with ecologists and environmental activists. We curate international artists within Spain.

Resident artists are not here to ‘finish’ work (although this can be an outcome), they are here to stretch the rigour of their inquiry, they are here to make discoveries, they are here to clear the way ahead, to amplify their practice.

We are a cultural destination in the heart of rural Spain, in an alpine desert, living at 1000m above sea level in the Parque Natural Sierra María – Los Vélez. This is a place of outstanding natural beauty and remains so despite the environmental challenges facing peoples’ way of life. This is the sunniest region of Europe receiving over 3000 hours of sunlight a year. Daytime autumn temperatures are warm/hot, outside nightly temperatures are cool, making this a dramatic environment.

Joya: AiR is a ‘not for profit’ association, and over the last ten years has had in excess of four hundred and fifty artists both from within Europe and as far afield as Australia, Japan, Canada and South America. The Joya: residency has provided them with a creative environment free from distraction in one of Spain’s most beautiful and remote regions.

Joya: AiR as an interdisciplinary residency is based at Cortijada Los Gázquez, five beautifully restored farmhouses, which are now an ‘off-grid’ eco-destination which is 85% carbon neutral and recycles everything.

The Joya: AiR programme was founded by artists Simon and Donna Beckmann with the intention of making a strong cultural destination within a Spanish rural context. They believe that dynamic and sustainable creative activity is the backbone to regenerating land that has been slowly abandoned over the last fifty years.

Joya: AiR at Cortijada Los Gázquez is a creative hub where there is always an inspirational environment of knowledgeable and informed thinking around all creative disciplines. Artists will have use of a studio space and 20 hectares of land. Accommodation (private room and bathroom) and meals are included as is collection and return to the nearest public transport system.

Disciplines and media:

Interdisciplinary:
Visual Art / Sculpture / Ceramics (enquire before applying) / Dance / Theatre / Performing Arts / Music / Writing / Educational Programmes / New Media / Curatorial / Film Making /

Type of organisation:

Independent not for profit association/foundation
Application:
Joya: AiR is currently accepting applications in Spanish and English only.
Residency period:

The length of the residency would be 1 to 2 weeks (negotiable)

Next application deadline:
11th September 2016

Residency period:
1st October to the 31st December 2016

APPLY

Conditions:
The Joya: AiR residency has a fee of €300 per week + tax (10%). This covers the cost of accommodation, wood for heating, water and all meals. It also includes collection from our nearest transport hub, Vélez Rubio.

Accompanying friends and family:
Accompanying friends and family are welcome subject  to the contribution of the same outgoing fees as the resident artist (above).

Note: Joya: AiR opportunities are heavily subscribed. Please process the application efficiently.
