“What’s your story? It’s all in the telling. Stories are compasses and architecture; we navigate by them, we build our sanctuaries and our prisons out of them, and to be without a story is to be lost in the vastness of a world that spreads in all directions like arctic tundra or sea ice.”

 – Rebecca Solnit, The Faraway Nearby

Climate is a national call for artwork of any media that explores the open-ended possibilities associated with ideation and it’s relationship to medium. For this call, we are seeking artwork revealing stories of surroundings and the evolving circumstances of our geography. Human interactions with the environment can be subtle, significant, temporary, and lasting forming a paradox that can in some cases cannot be solved or erased. This exhibit will survey current creative engagement of spatial and temporal visual ideas by juxtaposing fragments of images, objects, ideas, and forms surrounding the larger theme of climate.

This call is open to everyone 18 years or older and is open to all media. Submissions can range from traditional to conceptual. Climate will be on view at (SCENE) Metrospace, an urban gallery in East Lansing, MI from July 12 - August 30, 2019. The only required criteria is that works must engage with the theme of climate, all works of art must be made by visual artists living in the United States.
