Sorry this post is late. I have been busy wrapping up projects and doing art drop offs for my fall shows in order to prepare for my week away. I’ve had a few rejections last week, so I haven’t been feeling that great.
Monday
Sipep2014 – Shpilman International Prize for Excellence in Photography
This is a major prize in photography that is based in Jerusalem. The monetary award is pretty significant and seemed right up my ally with my work. It is a biennial prize and one of the most generous ones in the field of photography!
Hodder Fellowship
Princeton University has a fellowship that will be awarded to roughly four artists to realize an independent project for the academic year 2015-16. I thought my silkscreening project was a perfect fit for this.
Friday
FCF Call for Art
FCF is an art research-collaboration exploring issues around energy supply, ecology, hydrology, pollution, human influenced global warming, and tensions between national and local politics and between local democracy and multi-national business.
On Saturday the 13th I drove out to West Hartford, CT to attend the reception for the Surface & Depth gallery. I really like this space and it is cool that it is underneath a monastery/spiritual retreat center. I’m thinking about becoming a member once I have some extra money. I like that their exhibition themes are big/philosophical ideas rather than ‘landscapes’ or ‘still lives’, etc. I actually found it very hard to choose which exhibit to submit my artwork to! Many of their themes for this season can fit my artwork. This is Seaweed’s first group show. 🙂 Being a spiritual retreat center the crowd was a little bit older, so the reception was quieter than normal, and I didn’t really know anyone there which made it hard to reach out and mingle. But I’m glad I went because the energy of the place was really nice and it’s a great gallery.
I’ll be picking up my work, Pine Needles at the Institute for Human Centered Design on September 11th. But the artwork can still be viewed online:
Bluebells will be at the “On the Wall” exhibit which opens September 15th and ends September 30th. The reception is at 4-5pm on the 30th. Unfortunately, I’ll be in Canada during the reception so I will not be able to attend.
