Donkey Art Prize II

2011-08-12T12:14:03Z

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

After the great success of the international contest Donkey Art Prize 2010’ first edition, with the presentation of the best 100 works in the most prestigious art galleries of New York, Milan, London and Los Angeles, the enrolments for the 2011 edition are opened. The art contest is organized by Blidonkey Cultural Association, created with the aim of merging together the world of arts, fashion and music to build a worldwide network of artists coming from different backgrounds. Create a series of events, exhibitions, fashion shows and music performances on the international scale in order to give to the participating artists the possibility to express their own art and point of view, developing interest within an international community of new talents.

Donkey Art Prize 2011, promoted for the first year by the Veneto region, is a contest that awards the best international artist. Starting from this edition, together with the painting and photography/digital art categories, there will be a new discipline for the participants: video installations. Another novelty of this year is the enlargement of the jury of experts coming from the Verona, Bologna and Milan Art Academies; they will select 150 finalists within a wide range of participants coming from all over the world, considering criteria of originality, expressivity and artistic technicality.

The 2011 edition will end, in the first semester of 2012, with the exhibition of the 150 finalists’ art works in some of the best art galleries of the most important international capitals: New York, Milan, London and, starting from this year, Shanghai and San Paolo. During these international exhibitions the art works of the final participants will be presented to the large public and the winners of the three categories will be awarded with a 5.000 € prize. The images of the most interesting works will be printed on T‐shirts and distributed, on the occasion of the brand new “T‐shirt Contest”, during the events.
Many are the novelties Blidonkey Cultural Association is creating to make the edition of the contest Donkey Art Prize 2011 richer and more interesting, personal exhibitions of the artists, collaboration with important international school and art galleries etc.

Art/Science Themed Competition

2011-09-16T10:49:21Z

Thursday, March 1, 2012

Art and science are moving towards one another, discovering common issues and working methods. The creative, imaginative processes in the arts and sciences are similar, whereas the concrete realisation of their results tends to differ. Repeatedly, this difference is the source of productive tension and areas of friction. In all disciplines of the arts and sciences, further developments over recent decades have been characterised by mutual influences and efforts at differentiation. Today, traditional dividing lines between the spheres can no longer be maintained; they are being newly defined and presented in their permeability. This competition aims to give the impetus and opportunity to artists (fine art, media, architecture, design, music, theatre, visual communication etc.) and scientists to work between the priorities of the arts or between the arts and science.

Opportunity Type: Contests / Juried Shows

Through That Which is Seen

2012-02-07T12:12:29Z

3175 17th Street
San Francisco, CA 94110
Monday, March 19, 2012

Through That Which is Seen will represent a range of interpretations of the diorama on all scales. We aim to exhibit pieces borrowing from museums’ use of the diorama as a means to inform and educate to works that turn the more conventional notion of diorama on its head. From natural history displays to shoebox book reports, the word diorama often conjures memories from childhood. However, dioramas can be found dotted throughout our daily lives. Think about storefront displays, televisions, and medicine cabinets, to name a few. Does a shower become a performative diorama when in use? Or a car? The co-curators are open to reviewing any and all iterations of possible interpretations of dioramas.

Checklist of application materials:
• 4 images (jpeg: 72 dpi, 600x800 pixels max) (digital only please; Sorry no slides). And/or: 3-minute video clip on CD/DVD for MAC, or links to vimeo/youtube
• If you are submitting a site-specific installation please send 4 images of a past installation
• Checklist of submitted works
• Artists resume (1-2 pages max)
• Statement about how this work or proposal relates to the exhibition theme (1 page max)
• SASE (for return of materials if desired)
• $10 Submission fee payable via paypal on our website:
or check/money order made payable to Root Division

Email submissions can be sent to submissions@rootdivision.org. Submissions will also be accepted via USPS & can be mailed to: Root Division, Attn: Through That Which Is Seen, 3175 17th Street, SF, CA 94110. If your submission is mailed, we prefer that all documents are saved as either word docs (.doc) or PDFs (.pdf) and burned to a CD with your images rather than printed. (Please note that the $10 fee must be on file by March 19th for the email submission to be considered.)

Please call 415.863.7668 or email events@rootdivision.org with any questions

Artists selected for the exhibition will be notified by March 30th, 2012 via email or phone about the inclusion of their work in the show. The curators will conduct studio visits as necessary, but good documentation of work for submission is strongly suggested.
