Tactile Architecture™ 2007

Deadline (postmark): FEBRUARY 23, 2007

Modern Art Quilts with Architectural Themes

TACTILE ARCHITECTURE™ 2007
The 22nd Annual Juried Exhibition

QUALIFICATIONS

1) The entry must be a quilt or needle art piece–it must have three layers and some quilting must be visible in the images.

2) Designs must have a clear architectural motif expressing the artist's understanding of the exhibit's theme. (Original designs are encouraged.)

Each entry must be accompanied by an Artist's Statement explaining the artist's inspiration for creating each quilt or needle art piece and how it relates to the architecture theme.

JURYING

Jurying for Tactile Architecture™ is in March 2007; the results will be mailed to entrants no later than March 30, 2007. All quilts are juried anonymously—the jury members see the slides, are notified of each quilt's dimensions, materials, and construction methods, and read the Artist's Statement, but are not told the artist's name. Therefore, it is very important that your statement clearly explains your inspiration for the quilt and how it relates to the show's theme of architecture.

ENTRY FEE

$20 (non-refundable); up to two entries may be submitted under this fee.

TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS

An added benefit of acceptance into Tactile Architecture™ is the opportunity to have your quilt travel for exhibition at prestigious venues through 2008.

The Journal of Modern Craft

Deadline: December 31, 2006.

The Journal of Modern Craft is the first peer-reviewed academic journal to provide an interdisciplinary and international forum for the rigorous analysis of craft.

The journal covers all aspects of craft as it exists within the condition of modernity (from the mid-19th century to the present day), without geographical or disciplinary boundary. Its editors welcome articles and reviews that analyze the relevance of craft to architecture, design, contemporary art, literature, and other fields, as well as the central disciplines of clay, wood, fiber, glass, metal, paper, etc.

The overall editorial objective is for the journal to support a mobile and wide-ranging contemporary discourse on craft as an issue in all creative fields, while also being an authoritative historical voice on the subject of craft as a field of historical practice in its own right.

The Journal of Modern Craft includes peer-reviewed articles; exhibition and book reviews; reflections on practice; and reprinted historical texts, sometimes in translation. The editors welcome suggestions and submissions for any of these sections.

The Journal of Modern Craft is edited by:

• Glenn Adamson, Victoria & Albert Museum

• Tanya Harrod, Royal College of Art

• Edward S. Cooke, Yale University

• Kevin Murray (book review editor), Crafts Victoria

• Louise Mazanti (exhibition review editor), Danmarks Designskole

The journal will launch in March 2008.

Union Art Gallery at UWM | Invites Proposals

Deadline: September 5, 2006


The University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee invites artist proposals for an upcoming exhibition about Marriage, Home & Family. In a political and social atmosphere boiling over with a mixture of religious convictions and civil rights legislation, the issue of what constitutes marriage and family is very relevant to contemporary discourse.

The Union Art Gallery at UWM invites artists to participate in a dialog on these issues through an exhibition that will consider these themes in a collection of small works that will be exhibited as one large "quilt" on the walls of the gallery. Any medium is acceptable, but each work must be submitted as a wall-mountable 2' x 2' square. Paintings, photographs, collages, textiles and 3-D works including those that extend out or down from the wall - will all be considered. When all work is submitted, these squares will be placed together to form a giant quilt on the walls of the gallery.

Additionally, the gallery is taking proposals for separate installation pieces to be created in four alcoves. These installations should also address this topic as a more investigated and conclusive aspect to this theme. If interested in exhibiting installation work in one of these four spaces, please submit a proposal with images or sketches. Four will be selected by the curator for exhibition.

For additional information, please e-mail: skyberg@aux.uwm.edu.
