Call to Artists Chicago

Casa Duno presents Undomesticated



Submission Deadline: May 22, 2011

Exhibition Description

The artists in Undomesticated approach everyday objects in ways that disrupt the traditional notions of function and form. They re-imagine designed objects, obstructing function altogether. Through modifying commonplace objects drawn from the domestic sphere, the works serve as reinterpretations of design structures while retaining semblances of original form. This allows the viewer to make a distinct connection between the designed object and the art object.

Undomesticated aims to bring attention to the relationship people have with objects and how the dynamic changes when the objects shift from “everyday” to art and from the home to the gallery.



What We’re Looking For

We are looking for 3-D works that re-imagine everyday, designed objects for an exhibition in the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival. If you feel your work touches on the concepts mentioned in the exhibition description, we encourage you to submit.



Keywords

everyday, sculpture, domestic, design, products, mass-production, commonplace, surreal, conceptual, form and function, assemblage, found objects

Call to Artists Artist Residency

Mission

We believe that for artists to flourish they sometimes need time and space to open up their minds. We, as artists, would like to share the wonders and inspiration of Chicago with you.  Our goal is to provide other artists and writers with an opportunity to get away into the urban landscape; be inspired by the city, its music; its neighborhoods, its culture; or simply have the time to work without distraction.

Winter creative Residencies and Retreats in Chicago

Writers or artists of all disciplines are welcome to participate and share the space with other creative individuals. Each day will be an opportunity to work, research, explore and communicate your experiences, joys and challenges of being a creative individual.  During this week you will meet with other participants and some Chicago artists; our city has one of the most vibrant cultural art communities in the country.

Participation

• Open to participation by artists in all disciplines
• Meet local artists, who will share their work and inspire you
• Review Calendar of Events for Application Information and deadlines
