Open Call for Artists:
In collaboration with For Freedoms and The Red Record Collective, we are thrilled to announce an open call for artists to participate in our upcoming exhibition, RANSOM: Exploring the Edges of Appropriation (ON VIEW October 20 - December 12, 2018.)
Together, we aim to create an exhibition of work that explores the concept, implications, questions, and ramifications of appropriation in a broad sense. Artists may choose to explore the theme via cultural appropriation, land and public policy appropriation, language, style, resources, etc. as well as wrestle with who benefits or profits from appropriation, if, how, and when appropriation is harmful, what its consequences are and how that may differ across the landscape of personal, societal, political identities and beyond.
We are explicitly seeking artists that represent a diverse range of thought, experience, and background. We particularly encourage artists who seek to challenge power, privilege, and oppression to apply.
DEADLINE: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29th, 2018
Chases invites you to Earth + Fire, a collection of wood-fired ceramic sculpture and wallwork created by friends and partners, Belinda Bodnar and Eric Maglio. This exhibit will be shown July 21st through September 29th, 2018. The public is invited to an opening reception with refreshments on Saturday, July 21st starting at 4:00pm. Earth + Fire exhibits the partnership of two artists, their connection with clay, and an affinity for the wood-fired kiln.
