2017 Curated “Exhibition in Print” – Call for Related WorkRepair and Renewal: Making Things Whole AgainGuest Curator, Stuart Kestenbaum
Deadline: January 15
Besides prolonging the life of an object, repair also speaks to our yearning to make things right again, to make things whole. Repairing is more than fixing–it’s a metaphorical way to look at the role of makers. When we repair things, are we also fixing ourselves? Can giving renewed life to objects and materials-perhaps ones that have had other functions-renew us as well? How does the world look when we say that what is broken can be made whole again, using ingenuity and imagination?
For the 2017 “Exhibition in Print” Repair and Renewal: Making Things Whole Again, curator Stuart Kestenbaum is seeking work that addresses these questions. While the work does not need to have been repaired, it should have the spirit of repair, and be fueled by a desire to extend an object’s value and usefulness.
Deadline is this Sunday, January 15, 2017.
