ColorField Remix
OPEN CALL FOR ENTRIES
OPEN CALL FOR ENTRIES WPA\C Experimental Media Series - ColorField Remix * DEADLINE: Thursday, March 7, 2007 (entry received) * NO ENTRY FEE | NO MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED * KRAFT MEDIA PRIZE: $1000 Finalist | $500 Honorable Mention*
WPA\C's Experimental Media Series - ColorField Remix challenges artists to reinterpret the Color-Field artists with experimental video, sound and performance pieces. Artists are encouraged to create new work reinterpreting or inspired by Color-Field artists. The Kraft Media Prize will be awarded to one finalist and one honorable mention finalist, selected by the jurors for Night 3. Jurors will make selections based on overall quality and innovation as it relates to Color-Field.
ColorField Remix, a Washington, DC citywide project, spanning the the spring and summer of 2007 and linking numerous art venues, will celebrate the many legacies of the generation of Color Field and Washington Color School artists. Participating venues include: The Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, National Gallery of Art, The Kreeger Museum, Hemphill Fine Arts, The Katzen Center at American University, ThePhillips Collection, for a complete list of participants and programs (Insert website for colorfield remix here.)
The Washington Color-Field Painters rejected the notion that paintings could not make a statement with only color and composition. Artists explored the fundamental formal elements of abstract painting: pure, unmodulated areas of color; flat, two-dimensional space; monumental scale; and the varying shape of the canvas itself. Color-Field Artists associated with the movement include: Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Howard Mehring, Thomas Downing, Paul Reed, and Gene Davis.
The WPA\C Experimental Media Series - ColorField Remix All nights will run from 7:00 - 9:00 pm in the Corcoran Gallery of Art's Armand Hammer Auditorium:
Night 1 - Wed, April 25 - Curated by Richard Chartier (Internationally Renowned Sound & Media Artist, www.3particles.com)
