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?\u00a0 Can giving renewed life to objects and materials-perhaps ones that have had other functions-renew us as well?\u00a0 How does the world look when we say that what is broken can be made whole again, using ingenuity and imagination?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For the 2017 “Exhibition in Print” Repair and Renewal: Making Things Whole Again<\/em>, curator Stuart Kestenbaum is seeking work that addresses these questions.\u00a0<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

Deadline is this Sunday, January 15, 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
