FAQs (truncated)
Is the BAM Biennial 2012 limited to fiber work only?
For the purposes of this exhibition, the term “fiber” will be interpreted loosely, and is up to the discretion of the jurors. All entries should have a strong fiber component, either in medium or technique. Examples of acceptable work include, but are not limited to those incorporating: weaving, knitting, sewing, spinning, dying, quilting, felting, braiding, lace making, macramé, crochet, basketry, tapestry, and textiles.
What if I incorporate fiber into my work, but I am not a ‘fiber artist’?
You do not have to be a “fiber artist” to participate in the BAM Biennial 2012: High Fiber Diet. Interdisciplinary artists are encouraged to apply.
Can I collaborate with another artist?
Yes. Artists wishing to work together should submit a single entry form for consideration. All artists in a single entry are encouraged to include images of their individual and/or previous collaborative work as examples.

Some Things Looming: Refuse/Re-seen
Deadline: February 25, 2012 (POSTMARK)
Refuse/reseen
Some Things Looming
Reading, PA
April 14 – June 2, 2012
The world has become keenly aware of the way our bloated consumer culture produces tremendous volumes of trash which daily feed the ever growing mountainous landfills.
This exhibit encourages artists working in fiber to become infatuated with the idea of exploring the possibilities of this disposable and disregarded stuff as the basis for this submission. Our challenge for fiber artists everywhere is to take the most ordinary, non-precious and every day materials and to create the most extraordinary. The reuse of every conceivable material is already imbedded in the psyches of many working artists today.
This exhibit will require the use of materials which are not durable and are normally considered ephemeral and short lived.
Rules of Entry (truncated)
Entry Fee: $35.00
Juror: Warren Seelig
Warren Seelig lives and works in Rockland, Maine. He holds the rank of distinguished visiting professor in the Fibers/Mixed Media program at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia where he teaches, curates and writes on various subjects related to textile, fiber and material studies.
Awards: Best in show award: $250.00 and a solo show during 2012-2013 exhibit season.

International TECHstyle Art Biennial
Deadline: APRIL 2, 2012 (POSTMARK)
International TECHstyle Art Biennial (ITAB)
San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles
San Jose, CA
August 7 – October 21, 2012
The International TECHstyle Art Biennial (ITAB) is a juried exhibition of work by artists merging fiber media with new information and communication technologies in their artistic processes, as a medium of artistic expression, and/or in the content of their work. Leveraging its location in Silicon Valley, ITAB serves as the premiere platform for introducing the work of artists exploring the intersection of fiber and technology to a global community that assembles — virtually and in the real world — at San Jose's Biennial Zero1: 2012 01SJ Biennial.
As fibers, textiles, and the language of textile patterning have achieved wide attention in contemporary art practice—often as a means of evoking an experience that is both historical and contemporary—ITAB seeks to expose and explore the tensions between and among works by artists using fiber media whose work employs diverse artistic disciplines. We welcome submissions from artists in the fields of architecture, fashion, fiber art, installation art, interior design, new media, painting, sculpture, etc. Artwork demonstrating a keen understanding and mastery of the aesthetic, structural/technical, and semiotic possibilities of fiber and of digital, computerized, or networked information and communication technologies are the hallmark of the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles’ International TECHstyle Art Biennial.
1. Artists may submit up to three (3) works.
2. Entries must be original work completed after January 1, 2009.
3. Artists must be 18 years of age or older.
4. Collaborative work will be considered as a single entry. Artists submitting both collaborative and individual works must apply separately.
5. Work must not exceed 10 feet in any single dimension.
6. Installation pieces must state total space requirement on entry form.
7. Work must be original in concept and design and not be the result of a class or workshop. Student work is accepted if it meets the previous statement.
8. All work must be either fiber in content or executed in a fiber technique.

“New Beat” International Student Concours
Deadline: 31 October 2011 (ONLINE)
“New Beat”
International Student Concours
Fashion Gallery
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong
People's Rep. of China
5 Dec 2011 – 18 Jan 2012
As one of the oldest forms of technology known to human kind, textile technology (making of cloth) has a long history of invention. This exhibition celebrates new explorations in textiles and creative problem solving propelled by curiosity – the synthesis of a ‘new beat.’
New Beat is a juried competition featuring select works by international design students who demonstrate inspired creativity through material manipulation. Resist dyeing, such as shibori, is a specific form of traditionally patterning cloth via manipulation and dye. Its versatility combined with modern technology has gained popular appeal with contemporary artists, including major fashion icons Issey Miyake, Oscar de la Renta and Prada. Bridging this gap between traditional and contemporary poses an interesting challenge, one that the truly imaginative and creative seize as an opportunity to travel new paths in textile’s future.
Entry Fee: $15 per entry
Up to 3 entries may be submitted per artist or collaborative group
