Hera Gallery: Call
for Entries
Cornucopia
National Juried Exhibition
June 4 - July 9, 2005
Juror: Peter Sutton, Author, Curator, and
Director of The Bruce Museum of Art and Science, Greenwich, CT
www.brucemuseum.org
Over time, artists have used the genres of still life and tableaux
to
examine perception, icono-graphy, decoration, and to display their
technical virtuosity. Many artists today are quoting the lushness
and abundance of Dutch still life, as well as Baroque and Rococo
modes of
decorative exuberance.
Cornucopia is a national juried exhibition
based on the observation of a variety of interpreta-tions on still
life and tableaux emerging in the
work of contemporary artists. We aim to select a broad array of
work
that will illustrate theoretical and practical explorations of
the
theme.
Application should include no more than three clearly labeled (name,
title, media, size, date) 35mm slides of work created since 2003,
resume, a brief artist’s statement, $20 application fee, completed
application form, and SASE for return of slides. Postmarked deadline
April 1, 2005. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
Due to technical issues, we are unable to consider video or other
time-based media meant to be viewed on a screen or monitor.
