Art Call for Antiquated & Future (or Imaginary) Technologies II

The Irma Freeman Center for Imagination
5006 Penn Avenue, Garfield, Pittsburgh 15224

This theme was so popular last year that we decided to make it an annual event during the GA/GI Festival. This Art Call is therefore an invitation for artists to participate in the upcoming exhibition at the Irma Freeman Center for Imagination: Antiquated and Future (or Imaginary) Technologies II. This will be a group show, where artists are invited to enter up to three pieces of found/collected or constructed Technology. The idea of technology may include plans, kinetic/robotic or other objects, such as video, film, posters, prints, paintings, installations, state of the art, green, DIY or preexisting, obsolete or dying technologies. All art or artifacts must be accompanied by a biography of the artist/collector, and an Artist Statement of how the submission(s) relates to the above theme. Be aware that the statement and the biography may be edited as deemed appropriate or necessary by the curator, Sheila Ali. Also, all documents should be submitted through email as well as hardcopy.

DROP OFF:
The deadline for this exhibition is March 20th at 5 pm at 5006 Penn Avenue. The gallery will be accepting proposals and artwork from 2 – 5 pm Sunday March 20th. For further inquires please call 412-924-0634 or 412-418-6208. The entry fee is $15 per piece. If sold the IF Center will take a 25 % commission fee.
