Call for proposals to the Winter Symposium “Creative practices as a tool to work with heritage. Part I. Objects”

9-10 April, Vilnius, Lithuania

(Deadline for submission of proposals is 23th February)

The Forgetting Room

Online Exhibition
Submission Deadline: Sep. 26, 2021
Exhibition: Oct. 1 - 31, 2021

For this online exhibition, we challenge artists to explore the concept of memory and time. As this is an online exhibition, any and all media is acceptable.

 

The notion of time, the concept of memory with the idea of perception; the works for this exhibition should explore the subject of recollection. 

 

Time has many meanings, as it relates to age. As youngsters, we have illusions that time moves unhurriedly.  As we grow, it appears to progress more quickly, until we reach a point where time appears to be slipping away from us.

Open Call for Zine | Soma

OPEN CALL for ZINE

Soma (plural somas or somata)
The corporeal body, as distinguished from the psyche or soul and the pneuma or spirit.

In Vedic traditions, Soma also refers to a drink that is said to grant immortality. 

Rummān Collective would like to invite artists to submit artworks to be considered in their first zine, centered around the theme, Soma.

The zine will focus on scanning not only as a means to convert a document or picture into digital form — but as a means to capture the essence of a transitory moment in a physical object, by tethering it to material form. 

Allegorical Impulse

ALLEGORICAL IMPULSE 
OPEN CALL

Whether it be consciously or subconsciously, we are creatures that archive. A sentiment towards the remoteness of the past, and a desire to redeem it for the present -- these two are the most fundamental impulses to Allegory.
Allegory is a cognitive action where individuals apply a metaphorical method to understanding situations that normally don’t contain a symbolic language.

It is not a special way of interpretation, but a fundamental human impulse to draw diverse associations among concrete and more abstract experience. Caught in between the then and the now, we attempt to bridge these gaps to what has been lost.
