9th Kaunas Biennial UNITEXT
Deadline: September 15, 2012 (EMAIL)
9th Kaunas Biennial UNITEXT
Kaunas Artists' Support Fund
Kaunas, Lithuania
2013 09 13 – 2013 12 31.
The 9th Kaunas Biennial UNITEXT will create conditions for immediate collisions of an artwork and a spectator, allowing the experience of art as a universal text. Curators of the exhibition together with artists will pursue a concept that is new and unfamiliar in a cultural context and will consolidate it by presenting practical examples. We will go into the question of a unitext, which is the latest link in work -> text -> intertext -> hypertext -> unitext semiotic chain of a philosophic / art criticism / artistic field.
According to the consistency of this chain the UNITEXT exhibition claims a privilege to present novel ideas about the art at the level of structural and notional revelation. The suggestion is to perceive unitext in this chain as a universal artistic language, which unifies different experiences and concepts. The exhibition will provide a unique voice for each artwork instead of handling this task to explanatory texts. We believe artworks themselves are suggestive, influential and complete enough. We invite artists to present works experiences of which are based on a direct confrontation with an object / space / semantic field.
We invite to you present unitexts, which are seen through intuition, materiality, spontaneity, sensuality, feeling, here and now experiences.
More about the notion UNITEXT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS for submission:
Works submitted for selection must be executed during 2010-2012.
It is suggested that a cycle, a group of works or an installation would be introduced.
Project ideas are also acceptable complemented with photos of previously implemented pieces of a similar kind. Photos should represent the materiality, scope and impact of the submitted piece.
Selected artists will be notified via e-mail by October 15th, 2012.
THE INTENDED VENUES: The M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum, M. Žilinskas Art Gallery (Nepriklausomybės a. 12), Kaunas Picture Gallery (K. Donelaičio g. 16) Kaunas / Lithuania. Period: 2013 09 13 – 2013 12 31.

Animal Fibers: Art Informs Shibori
Deadline: 15 September 2011 (ONLINE)
Animal Fibers: Art Informs Shibori
8th International Shibori Symposium 2011: Hong Kong
Hong Kong Design Institute
4 Dec 2011- 1 Jan 2012
An international exhibition of fiber art works showcasing shibori’s inherent transformative power on material, from 2-D to 3-D. With its shape changing and volume shifting abilities, the shibori process interplays uniquely with animal-based fibers. Inventive, style-making designs exploiting this interplay have been seen on catwalks of designers such as Yoshiki Hishinuma and Jurgen Lehl and in fiber work of artists like Jean Cacicedo and Jorie Johnson. This exhibition also comments on contemporary global innovations in materials that have been with humans since primeval time. An accompanying exhibition, “Animal Fibers in Chinese Tradition,” curated by Edith Cheung, will visit the resourcefulness and beauty of traditional historical works created in China, addressing humankind’s relationship with animals in a shared environment.
The departure theme for this international exhibition is art work made from animal fiber, animal hide, or a combination of both, utilizing the principles of shaped or resisted shibori dyeing techniques. These works should be inspired by the transformative properties of materials and their potential to change surface and structure, exhibiting visual and/or dimensional transformation.
Entry Fee: $25 per entry
Up to three (3) entries may be submitted per artist or collaborative group
Curators:
Jean Williams Cacicedo
Jorie Johnson
