SMALL BUILDINGS: built, unbuilt, unbuildable
Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design
Delmar Loop Gallery

Saint Louis, MO
March 13 – May 10, 2015



Architects today don’t build buildings, they make drawings and models. Similarly, a number of contemporary artists make works resembling architectural models, both in terms of scale and concept, while other artists working with site-specific installation make literal models of projects subsequently built. This exhibition will explore the craft of the architectural model through three themes: built, unbuilt, unbuildable, from the book of the same title by Robert Harbison.

Bruce Lindsey and Buzz Spector will select the best works in all craft media from both emerging and established artists. Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design invites architects and artists nationwide with interest in showing their models, maquettes, sculptures, drawings, or other relevant artifacts in the context of craftedness.


CRITERIA
Works created in the last three years are eligible. All work must be for sale.


ELIGIBILITY
Artists must be 18 years of age and reside in the United States.


FEES
Non-refundable entry fee for one or two entries is $35. Students entry fee is $20- please provide a copy of current student ID.

The 2011 theme “Fashion Schematics” explores the messages, systems, schemes, symbols and concepts inherent in the notion of fashion, through photography, video, fashion design, performance, installation and music. The festival will look at the ways we create visual dialogues and make sense of the world through fashion and creative expression. “Fashion Schematics” will examine how we build the systems in which we function, the strategies we use in creating our identities and the messages we convey through codes, currencies and narratives.
