About:
Cryin’ Out Loud is a juried exhibition that examines the
role of women’s and femmes’ voices as expressed in art about politics,
activism, and emotion. Considering both the metaphoric and literal
voice, Cryin’ Out Loud explores and celebrates the use of art
as a form of speaking up and out. A large group exhibition of works by
selected artists will take place in CCA’s Muñoz Waxman Gallery.
Juror’s Statement:
Cryin’ Out Loud takes each word of this maxim seriously –
Crying. Out. Loud. – and navigates the various implications of the
phrase, wheter exasperated and fed up (“Oh, for crying out loud!”) or
literal, as one who does not hide her desperation or emotion while she
is actually “crying out loud”. Similarly, “living out loud” has
associations with survivors of abuse, with activism in the LGBTQ
community, and with anyone refusing to “be quiet” about issues of
oppression, identity and authorship. It is time to speak loudly with our
voices and our art; with our intellect and our emotion; with our
politics and our personhood.
Throughout history women’s voices, perspectives, and innovations have
been undermined by those in power. In order to have their voices heard
or published, many women artists and writers have adopted gender neutral
or male pseudonyms. Women have fought for their right to vote, are
still fighting for wage-equity, and to have equal representation in
congress. Speaking and acting out is complicated for women and femmes
because of common double standards like the label “hysterical,” for
simply speaking her mind. Women have learned to work within these
oppressive structures often at the expense of their rights and humanity,
and frankly, we are ready for change.
Cryin’ Out Loud proposes that to unabashedly express emotion is a political act. To live out loud
is a necessary political gesture and that women’s experience needs to
be seen, heard, and cherished. The exhibition will consist of work in
all media that embraces emotion as statement; that broadcasts social and
political concerns, and that reacts to and resists the structures that
continue to oppress us.
How it Works:

The
Byrdcliffe Artist in Residence program provides artists of exceptional
talent with uninterrupted time and creative space to research and create
new work. Lasting four weeks (or a possible eight weeks for ceramic
artists), residencies provide artists with private studio space within a
community of peers and the serene natural setting of the Byrdcliffe Art
Colony. Artists are invited to participate in open studios,
work-shares, communal dinners and field trips, or may spend their
residency working in the creative solitude of a private studio.
Byrdcliffe’s residencies are particularly beneficial to those who find
it restorative to live in a simple, communal environment in close
proximity to natural beauty.
Surrounded
by the Catskill Mountains and just west of the Hudson River, the
Byrdcliffe Art Colony is home to over 80 artists each year, with 60
being hosted by the Artist in Residence Program while the remainder are
those who benefit from our artists’ housing. Beyond the AIR program, the
Colony is comprised of more than a dozen artist cottages, the
Byrdcliffe Theater, the Byrdcliffe Barn, a tennis court and the Mt.
Guardian hiking trail, as well as the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts
which is located in the center of Woodstock. At Byrdcliffe creative
time is sacrosanct, and artists are given free rein to decide what
activities will contribute to their residency experience. Byrdcliffe
offers a unique experience in simplicity of living amid the natural
beauty of a 250 acre campus of protected fields and woodland. At the
same time, Byrdcliffe provides the opportunity to live in a community of
creative people of all ages and backgrounds who are dedicated to
honoring the creative spirit.
Ceramics:
Please apply using the Visual Artists’ online application!! Byrdcliffe
accepts artists working in handbuilding and wheelthrowing techniques. To
be eligible for the residency, artists must have prior experience in
glaze mixing and kiln firing. CERAMIC ARTISTS CAN APPLY FOR 8 WEEK SESSIONS.
Application Deadline: March 1, 2017
Session Dates: Each
four week session is limited to 12-15 individuals. Candidates may apply
for additional weeks in the event a space becomes available. Most
sessions conclude with an Open Studio where residents share their work
with each other and the regional artistic community.
- Session I: May 31 – June 26, 2017 (4 weeks)
- Session II: June 28 – July 24, 2017 (4 weeks)
- Session III: August 9 – September 4, 2017 (4 weeks)
