Open Call: Case Studies Call for Artworks for Exhibition; Deadline: 6/20/2017 @ 11:59 EST
In January 2017, Gallery Aferro, in cooperation with several cultural and historical institutions including George Washington’s Mt. Vernon Estate Museum, received donations of various sized museum quality cabinets, vitrines, platforms, and pedestals, and are now offering them to be activated in an exhibition to be held during Newark Open Doors 2017. The exhibition, “Case Studies”, is open to work activating the cases directly, and/or referencing cases, containers, cabinetry, and displays. Although Gallery Aferro is continuing to work to acquire more cases, currently the displays vary in size from 71 x 24 x 24, to 85 by 82 by 30 and have a diverse range of display features. Artists are encouraged to look beyond or within the history and pre-existing features to activate the cases. Gallery Aferro will select cabinets for artists per proposals. Works do not need to be designed to be within the cases specifically but priority will be given to utilizing the cases to their full potential. The cabinets were originally part of a traveling exhibition. This call is also open to artists who propose to bring or build their own cabinets, platforms, cases, etc. Some themes to consider may include but are not limited to mobility, Americana, salvage and recycling, history, etc.
