Seeks Submissions for 2010 Biennial: Alternating Currents
Deadline: March 16th, 2009
BUFFALO, NY – Beyond/In Western New York 2010 seeks submissions for the upcoming biennial, “Alternating Currents.” Building on the resounding success of Beyond/In Western New York in 2005 and 2007, twelve local arts organizations will once again join forces for the 2010 exhibition. Beyond/In Western New York 2007 showcased the work of fifty artists in twelve regional art venues for a spectacular exhibition that attracted 60,000 visitors from 40 states and several countries. Beyond/In Western New York 2010 is slated to open in September 2010.
The call for submissions is open to emerging and established artists and art collectives in Western and Central New York, Southern Ontario, Northeastern Ohio, and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Artists working in all media – film, installation, multimedia, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, performance, and video – are encouraged to submit work.
Artists are asked to respond to the theme “Alternating Currents.” Under this thematic umbrella, and also new for 2010, will be a non-regional component consisting of invited artists from outside the established regional boundaries. While “Alternating Currents” is derived from conversations about the Buffalo/Niagara region’s storied past and its subsequent development, the reviewers welcome a broad range of interpretations and applications in response to the theme.
2010 partners include the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Big Orbit Gallery, Buffalo Arts Studio, Burchfield-Penney Art Center, Carnegie Art Center, Castellani Art Museum of Niagara university, CEPA Gallery, El Museo Francisco Oller Y Diego Rivera, Hallwalls Contemporary art Center, Squeaky wheel, University at Buffalo Anderson Gallery and University at Buffalo Art Gallery.
Deadline for submissions is March 16, 2009. For application and information, please visit www.beyondinwny.org. For additional information, contact project coordinator Brooke Fitzpatrick at 716-270-8238.
