12-Pages: Movement


The new issue of 12-Pages, TBC Artists' Collective's online journal is now live on the TBC blog - http://www.12-pages.com./ Edited by Charley Peters and Paul Mendez, the project challenged TBC members and their invited open submissions to contribute to the theme of Movement.

Since the initial 'Movement' brief I've been working towards expanding this process into a new body of work. Below is a selection of sketches that loosely attempt to incorporate kaleidoscopic arrangements, influenced by Steve Reich.

News: Beverley Bennett accepted onto The Drawing Center Viewing Program

EB
The Drawing Center is the only fine arts institution in the U.S. to focus solely on the exhibition of drawings, both historical and contemporary. It was established in 1977 to provide opportunities for emerging and under-recognized artists; to demonstrate the significance and diversity of drawings throughout history; and to stimulate public dialogue on issues of art
and culture.
The Drawing Center’s Viewing Program offers emerging artists the opportunity to include their work in a curated Artist Registry that is consulted by a wide variety of arts professionals from across the globe: curators, gallerists, collectors, and educators, among others.
Approximately twice a year The Drawing Center presents “Selections,” group exhibitions of artists curated from the Viewing Program, to give  exposure to emerging artists.

12-Pages Online Project Space: Call for Submissions - Issue 7

TBC Artists' Collective has now announced an open call for submissions to its June 12-Pages Projects. Applicants are asked to make a new artwork in response to the theme of 'RADICALS'.

The Regency era spawned a group of revolutionary artists, writers and thinkers including Thomas Paine, Mary Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, William Blake and Lord Byron - who became known as the Radicals. It was a period in British history where opinions were voiced and artistic expression was at a level never witnessed before.

For this brief you are asked to consider modern day 'radicals' spanning the last 20 years. Work created can be a homage, reference, quote, or interpretation.
Submissions should incorporate elements of drawing processes within finished outcomes, with an emphasis on your chosen radical.
The notion of 'radical' can be as rigid or as loose as you feel comfortable with.
