Last June, in response to the complete stupidity of a certain major gay event that happens in this (and most other) cities, I put together an art show at my house. Planned to be very edgy and underground, it instead ended up being very... domestic. Paintings of furniture, photographs of people's moms, vacation photos, housepets, morning newspapers. It was a really interesting show, and I'm proud of having done it, particularly because thematically it ended up nothing like I thought it would.
Now I want to do something a little edgier. For real, this time.
The second annual Superqueer Art Happening* will be taking place in mid-June at my place in Providence, Rhode Island. I'm looking for artists who explicitly engage with gender and sexuality, who work in any media (including video and 3-D). I'm going for underground, and slightly (or very) rough around the edges.
To enter, e-mail (with the word 'proposal' in the subject line) matthewrlawrence@gmail.com. Include your name, location, and information about your work (titles, dates, dimensions, media.) Jpegs should be included as attachments. Links to artists' websites are also encouraged.
About the show:
Artwork can be no bigger than 24X24, including framing.
I can't afford to pay shipping on anything, so consider that if you're far away.
Deadline to apply is May 7. Artwork must be delivered by June 14th.
Any sales will be split 70 (you)/30 (the gallery.)
(*That's not necessarily the final title.)
