The word curve has a broad spectrum of meanings from throwing a curve ball to slowing down for the curve on a country road, and let’s not forget the curves associated with the human body. For this call the focus is on images where a curve or curves is an important element of the composition.  No matter where you photograph the possibilities are endless. It can be that winding road. It can also be a stack of old tires, curved windows in a city building, or, in fact, the shape of the building itself. Do you see the curvaceous form of an elephant’s trunk when feeding, the curl of a giant wave or even a closer view of a head full of curls. Curves are all around us.  Capture them as a dominant element of your images and send them in.

The Figure: Portrait & Narrative invites submissions in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography and mixed media that explore the overlapping territories of portraiture and visual storytelling. The call for entry is open to legal residents of PA, NJ, NY, DE, MD, VA, and Washington, D.C who are 18 years and older.

Abington Art Center is excited to present a call for submissions for our Fall Juried Show: High in Fiber.

High in Fiber is a fiber arts exclusive exhibition showcasing the versatility and complexity of the fiber medium, from its rich history to its unique characteristics as a material.

Fiber arts, also known as textile arts, is considered to be both a new and old form of art. Historically, fiber arts is one of the oldest art forms. Dating back hundreds of thousands of years, this form of art was born out of necessity and served a practical purpose over an aesthetic one. Coupled with the understanding that fibers and textiles were historically the domain of women, fiber arts has been strongly associated with domesticism and was deemed as “lesser art”. The efforts of feminist artists during the 1970s feminist movement pushed fiber arts into the realm of high art and helped the medium become what it is today: a form of fine art.

• What does fiber arts mean to you?
• What are some of the challenges and advantages of working in this form of art?
• Do you feel that fiber arts is a respected art form within the art community? Why or why not?

Please submit up to 3 works by September 30th and our juror will review submissions. Applicants should expect to hear with a decision by October 11th.

Forms of fiber art include weaving, embroidery, soft sculpture, felting, rug-making, quilting, crocheting, needlepoint, fabric dyeing, and many more.

Le réseau des Frac, avec le soutien du ministère de la culture et de l’ADAGP, lance un appel à projet de recherche critique sur des collections des Frac.

Cet appel à projet est lancé dans la volonté d’apporter de nouvelles perspectives, de valoriser et de diversifier les regards sur les collections des Frac. Sous réserve de confirmation, cet appel à projet pourrait-être renouvelé tous les ans et élargi en partenariat avec le CNRS.

Après plus de 40 années d’existence, les collections des 22 Fonds régionaux d’art contemporain rassemblent aujourd’hui plus de 35000 œuvres créées par plus de 6 000 artistes tant français.es qu’étranger.es. L’ensemble des œuvres des collections des Frac est accessible ici : https://lesfrac.com/toutes-les-oeuvres-des-frac/#/artworks

Le principe directeur de l’achat d’œuvres depuis la création des Frac au début des années 80 est d’acquérir des œuvres d’artistes vivants. Les collections des Frac sont majoritairement généralistes et représentent la diversité de la création contemporaine des 40 dernières années à part égale d’artistes français.es et étranger.es. Nous recommandons, pour une première analyse approfondie, l’extrait du rapport de l’Inspection Générale de la Création Artistique à ce sujet :
https://lesfrac.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Extrait_09.21_Missions-prospective-sur-les-Frac-MC-21.pdf

Ces collections constituent aujourd’hui un patrimoine unique dans le monde, elles sont encore peu examinées par des regards critiques extérieurs, aussi le ministère de la Culture, l’ADAGP et le réseau Platform proposent d’ouvrir un chantier de recherche favorisant une approche scientifique et sensible sur les collections des Frac en donnant l’opportunité à un.e artiste, un.e chercheur, un.e critique d’art, un.e historien.ne de l’art, de poser un regard singulier sur les collections des Frac.

À qui s’adresse cet appel à projet ?

Tout historien.ne de l’art, critique d’art, auteur.ice, commissaire d’exposition, chercheur.euse, enseignant.echercheur.euse justifiant d’une activité critique ou de recherche en histoire de l’art ou tout autre domaine à même d’apporter un point de vue inédit et transdisciplinaire (fournir au minimum trois textes à titre d’exemple).

Les candidat.e.s ont le choix d’aborder les collections de Frac en transversalité, ou les collections spécifiques de quelques-uns d’entre eux, une période, un courant, un.e artiste ou plusieurs, un sujet thématique ou pas… Cet appel à projet se veut ouvert à tout type de réflexion à propos des collections des Frac.

Les candidat.e.s seront choisi.e.s par un jury constitué de volontaires issu.e.s des équipes des Frac et d’un représentant de l’ADAGP à partir d’un dossier de candidature comportant :
– une lettre d’intention à l’attention du jury expliquant la thématique, l’angle d’approche, le sujet que le/la candidat.e voudrait aborder dans sa recherche
– textes critiques ou de recherche rédigés par le/la candidat.e
– une biographie ou un curriculum vitae

La candidature doit être déposée sous la forme d’un dossier unique (tous les documents réunis dans un seul document au format PDF) et adressée aux deux emails suivants : juliebinet@frac-platform.com / lily.berthou@frac-platform.com

Offre publiée par Platform (réseau des Fonds régionaux d’art contemporain) avec le soutien du Ministère de la culture et de l’Adagp, pour toute question contacter : Julie Binet /juliebinet@frac-platform.com
