We are accepting digital submissions from artists through November 20th. The event is organized and curated by a group of 20 first-year students in a FYP (first year program).
The work submitted, or proposed, must meet two basic criteria: 1) the work must sample, borrow, appropriate, remix other media and 2) the work must somehow be critical of consumer culture, politics, celebrity, etc. The art can be 2d, paint, 3d (sculpture, glass, etc.), mixed media, etc. Unfortunately our experience cannot accept video or audio.
The goal is for the art to utilize the legal concept of fair use, which allows for borrowing other works to directly critique them, for public benefit, and as long as the new work doesn't replace the market for the old.
Submissions will be reviewed by the FIG students, and the opening show curated by them. This call for submission is open to everybody: community members, students, faculty and staff.
We are asking that you submit a proposal, a draft or mockup, etc., or completed piece, digitally using this form (including a link to your piece on some cloud platform). Students will choose/curate pieces, so not all pieces will be accepted.
Here are some basic requirements for the pieces:
*If doing a digital 2d image please make sure it's 300dpi and submit as a pdf (if possible, 27x40 or under size).
For inquiries, please contact Andre´ Sirois:
asirois@uoregon.edu and put "Critical Art Show" in the subject line.
