Reality

the little stories we tell ourselves

The Gallery by MUI presents our first Open Art Call for the upcoming virtual exhibition, the little stories we tell ourselves. We would like to open the call to any kind of creative or artistic work that connects to the topic.

We define the little stories we tell ourselves as the realities we construct to comprehend life and create our identity. It can be understood, misunderstood, isolating or intimate. This call would like to gather digital artworks, pictures, videos, etc. that are able to represent the multifaceted worlds we create.

Deadline to apply: Monday, January 31, 2021 11:59 pm EST

Reality and Art, a Call for Entries

Reality, Realism, Representation. Art is often about searching for and expressing reality, whether literally or conceptually.

This is a call for entries for a juried exhibition.  We are seeking works that are representational in both the traditional sense of being compelled to express what you see and reality as a conceptual sense of using the contemporary current environment as a reference. This environment of shifting and contradicting truths, denial of science, proliferation of ‘alternative facts,’ and manipulations of imagery makes understanding reality and truth an illusive undertaking. The artist’s striving to express and understand reality becomes more complicated with this shifting appropriation of what is mere perception and what is reality.
