Eligibility:

WHAT IS THE LIBRARIAN OF BABEL?
The Librarian of Babel is a virtual space created for the purpose of bringing artists and thinkers together at different events.

WHAT IS THE CALL?
We call all artists to create and submit a mask to The Babel Masks, a juried exhibition of original masks.

WHAT IS THE SHOW ABOUT? 
Masks have become a way of life in 2020 as we grapple with the covid-19 pandemic. What if masks remain with us from now on?

This exhibition imagines how masks will evolve in 100 years as daily wear. In the hands of artists, the design still protects the mouth and nose while being more expressive, even more sculptural, more stylish and more ceremonial than the basic design we know today.

We want to see the dreams and visions that are coming to you from your daydreams and nightmares of 2120! Given how fast fashion and art evolve and move from one decade to the next, consider how much one artist can to do take the simple protective mask and raise it to a form of high art  . . . or high fashion.

WHERE WILL MY WORK APPEAR? The Babel Masks is a virtual exhibition space. If selected, your work will appear there as well as in a print-on-demand exhibition catalog.

HOW MANY WORKS DO I SUBMIT?
Each artist may submit one mask. We want to see three images of your mask. Please use the weblink in this ad for further instructions on how to apply.

HOW IS WORK SELECTED?
Works will be selected by a blind jury and included in a virtual exhibition as well as a print-on-demand catalog.

IS THERE A FEE?
There is no fee to apply or to exhibit. Send us your work!

25/August/2020
