Baang and Burne Contemporary Call for New Artists 2012
Burne Contemporary’s 2011 exhibition season, we’ve decided, once again, to do something a bit unconventional. We are hosting an international open call to artists.
Just to be clear, we are not doing an open call for a juried group exhibition; we’re looking to sign new artists to our gallery for inclusion in exhibitions, projects, and events for the 2012-2014 seasons.
DEADLINE: August 15, 2012.
ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists, age 18+, who wish to be considered for a two year representation contract with the gallery. All submitted artwork must be available and for sale.
ENTRY PROCEDURE:
Entries will only be accepted online:
https://www.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=1033&sortby=fair_name&apply=yes
Artists should submit 8 images of their most recent artwork, an artist statement (150 word maximum), a CV, and if possible a URL to their website.
Baang + Burne will only be accepting entries submitted through this system. E-mail or paper submissions will not be accepted.
JUDGING:
Every submission will be personally considered and reviewed by Baang + Burne Gallery Directors Kesha Bruce and Charlie Grosso and Associate Director Erin Skaryak.
ABOUT BAANG + BURNE:
Baang + Burne Contemporary is an unconventional art gallery directed by contemporary artists Kesha Bruce and Charlie Grosso. Our gallery aims to challenge the premise of what an art gallery can be. We’re interested in engaging the world at large and presenting work that generates dialogue critically, socially, and culturally.
In the first 16 months of Baang + Burne Contemporary’s existence, we experimented with apartment shows, private “invitation only” events, and 6x6, an art version of a music festival. For 6x6 we presented six exhibitions in six weeks, bringing together unexpected alliances and partnerships from various creative fields outside the art world and from non-profit arts organizations.
We are committed to asking challenging questions and using the gallery to continually experiment so that we may find the new solutions for both artists and collectors. Baang and Burne Contemporary is designed to continually challenge and constantly innovate. Our Mission is to make art the agent and not merely the product.
