2014 The Natural & The Manufactured: An ODD Gallery and KIAC Artist in Residence Thematic Project
The ODD Gallery seeks proposals from visual artists working in all media for this yearly thematic project, which consists of two exhibition-creation residencies leading to one gallery-based and one outdoor installation. New projects and site-specific ideas are encouraged, but previous work and continuing projects may also be proposed.
The Natural & the Manufactured residency and exhibition project runs July 1 through August 18, 2014.
Applications to the N&M will be considered for BOTH residency and exhibition components for July and August of each year. Project activities are presented as part of KIAC’s Yukon Riverside Arts Festival in mid-August. The N&M re-examines the various cultural and economic values imposed on the environment, while exploring alternative social, economic and aesthetic strategies towards a re-interpretation of landscape and social infrastructure.
Project activities include two six-week creation/installation residency periods, two exhibition projects, opening receptions, artist talks and guest lectures.
Please follow the application guidelines for general exhibitions here. A separate application to the residency is NOT necessary. Mark your application “N&M.” Artists applying for this thematic project may also apply for exhibitions and residencies under the General Call for Submissions, but separate and unique proposals must be submitted for each call.
