Publication Winners Announced!

Thanks so much to everyone that sent feedback on their favorites for the upcoming publication. I can’t tell you how much everyone’s comments warmed my heart. The support is much appreciated. Plus it was pretty cool to get inside other people’s head to see what they like.

So without any further delay – The winners (chosen randomly out of a hat) of a copy of the publication (to be mailed out in early-mid October) are… drum roll please….

Eden: Ceramics by Sin-ying Ho

September 8 – October 26, 2010 | Reception on Thursday, September 15, 2010, 5 – 8PM with Artist’s Talk from 6 – 7 PM

The development of technology and economic globalization in the 21st century brings people of many nationalities and cultures together. Expressing her own experience as a Chinese artist living in North America, ceramist Sin-ying Ho has painted hundreds of flowers, combined with digital transfer-printed images, on 5- to 6-foot-tall porcelain vessels, creating a garden of cultures that evokes identity and the collision of new global traditions. Born in Hong Kong, Sin-ying Ho is Assistant Professor of ceramics at Queens College. This exhibition is co-sponsored by the Queens College Art Department, PSC-CUNY Research Foundation, Queens Council on the Arts, and Coptor Productions. This exhibition is part of Queens College’s Year of China programming.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: BESTIARY / PROPOSALS FOR EXHIBITS

BESTIARY: Exploring the Animal in Contemporary Art
An International Competitive Exhibit | Full-color catalog produced.
DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 22, 2010
Images of animals in art have existed parallel to those of humans for as long as images (and objects) have been made. Our social, creative, and psychological evolution is inextricably tied to our relationships with animals. Whether it be the taming of the wolf, resulting in ‘man’s best friend’, the tethering of the horse which magnified the power and geographic reach of humans, or the domestication of herd animals which contributed to the establishment of cities and large concentrations of people (and the growth of culture), they are all part of the trajectory of humanity to this point in time. And all have been documented, explored, and deified throughout the long process by images and objects featuring animals. But this isn’t just history (and pre-history). The animal remains a powerful subject in contemporary art. So Manifest has set aside its entire exhibition space, three galleries, to feature an exhibit which will reveal the state of the animal in contemporary art. With this we call for artists working in any media to submit works that in some way feature or address animals, real or imagined. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media (including but not limited to video, sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, etc.) Proposals for Exhibits: Manifest’s Exhibition Committee is eager to receive proposals for solo, group, and concept-based exhibits. Proposals are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with no deadline for entry or notification. Each exhibit season (Sept.- Aug.) is planned by June/July of each year. Requirements: 10 – 20 digital images or appropriate media; one page description of concept for exhibit, resume. Also include a SASE if return of materials is required.* * You are encouraged to contact the exhibition committee with any questions you may have prior to sending a submission by sending an e-mail to:show at manifestgallery.org MANIFEST GALLERY
