Public/Private

CALL FOR ARTWORK: Public/Private (pdf)

Exhibition Dates: January 18 - February 21, 2013

Invitation to all artists worldwide to submit artwork in all media for this thematic exhibition.

"From the exploding popularity of reality television and celebrity culture to the U.S. government’s ever-growing presence in our homes, schools, and community spaces through Patriot Act-sanctioned surveillance, the twenty-first century has seen enormous shifts in cultural and political conceptions of what is considered private and what is considered public, both in the United States and world-wide. We as individuals are losing control over what is seen and what is unseen; known and unknown; public and private. How do these shifts manifest in our daily lives? Who is most affected and why? How do artists address these changes, whether through illuminating, embracing or actively working against them?"
