The review involves the construction of No. 12 (twelve) site-specific works in complete harmony with the area of the Park. The projects will be able to create a natural and osmotic relationship between art and the environment, culture of local identity and will have an aesthetic and cognitive value, in relation to the processes and transformations that affect the environment and the present condition, to trigger a reflection on the dynamics of ecological and sustainability.
The leitmotiv of ECOISMI 2014 is a combination of three words: "Habitat, Re-generation, Memory"

Around this very wide topic, the young artists are invited to express themselves through their freedom of expression, sensitivity and planning.
TERMS:
- The jury will select twelve (n° 12) projects from the ones received in form of texts, sketches and pictures.
- The works will have to represent a real enrichment for the “Isola Borromeo” Natural Park in Cassano d'Adda and will have to harmonize with the environment without damage in any way the local vegetation or modify morphologically the local sites;
- The materials used to create the art's work will have to be mostly natural;
- The mounting time is thought as “work in progress” and can lasts 4 days maximum;
- Besides the technical feasibility, the reward criterion, during evaluation, will be the ability of create a dialogue with the character of the Natural Park site.

A juried gallery exhibition of artwork relating to birds and their habitats

The Schuylkill Center’s 340 acres of woodlands, fields, streams and ponds is an oasis for birds in Philadelphia. Our landscape supports over 100 species at various times of the year, with over 50 bird species that nest on our property. The Schuylkill Center hosts a number of bird species of concern, species whose numbers have declined over recent years because of habitat loss. According to Audubon Pennsylvania, habitat loss and fragmentation are the most serious threats facing birds around the world, across America, and here in Pennsylvania. Preserving bird habitat is key to preserving the variety of species that we know today.
This exhibition invites visual artists working in all media to present artwork that reflects the realities and mysteries of birds. In preparing submissions, artists should consider The Schuylkill Center’s two mission-driven objectives: Land Preservation and Environmental Education. Our Art Gallery is located within our main Education Building, and exhibitions are viewed by visiting school groups as well as adult visitors. Artists are especially encouraged to submit work that deals directly with bird habitat and behavior, and that relates to birds native to the Philadelphia region.
Visual artists from any disciplinary background may apply, and submissions of any gallery-based media are welcome, with installation proposals encouraged.
Each artist's submission may include up to 3 separate artworks, with up to 3 views of each work.
