Submission Guidelines

Artists' work and exhibition proposals from curators are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We are currently reviewing work for the 2006-2008 seasons. Work in all media is considered, including installations. However, we cannot accommodate work which requires painting walls a color other than white or hanging heavy objects from the ceiling. Maryland artists and artists from other states within a 75-mile radius of Baltimore are given priority. Artists from outside the Mid-Atlantic region are rarely selected due to our mission to serve regional artists and a limited budget for transportation. Send 10 to 20 slides or photographs, a resume, an optional one-page statement, and a self-addressed stamped return envelope for the slides to the address below. Please do not send original art. If you have any questions that are not addressed here, call or email Laura Amussen at (410)337-6477.

  Ethnography of No Place
3/24/2008 to 5/2/2008
 
  Ethnography of No Place, an exhibit that examines geographical places and psychological spaces, will be presented in Goucher College's Rosenberg Gallery from Monday, March 24, through Friday, May 2. This exhibit, which is free and open to the public, can be viewed weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and during scheduled events in Kraushaar Auditorium. An artists' reception will be held Friday, April 11, at 6 p.m. in Rosenberg Gallery. Call 410-337-6477 for more information. Leah Bailis' sculptures, Dawn Gavin's maps, Courtney Jordan's drawings, Bridget Sue Lambert's photographs, Isabel Manalo's paintings, Aili Schmeltz's paintings and installations, and Kazue Taguchi's installations are fragments of invented landscapes and environments that stem from each artist's response to the thoughts of placelessness in contemporary culture. Bailis constructs inaccessible spaces - a chain-link fence, a windowless façade - that have surfaces that separate public and private spaces. These barriers represent the tension between what is judged worthy of protection and the perceived danger or risk from which the space is being protected. Gavin uses maps and related documents to construct both real and imagined terrains and cartographic landscapes that exist at the threshold between the visible and the invisible. She is interested in occupying the liminal space between places - the area where boundaries dissolve - and negotiating this alternative position. Jordan's drawings in ink and graphite on mylar are her interpretations of architectural forms and structures. Her works include details found in buildings and urban industrial infrastructures that she feels reflect social and emotional values. Using a 30-year-old dollhouse built by her grandfather, Lambert stages and photographs vignettes of domesticity, tension, loss, and presence vs. absence. She explores the physical and psychological spaces that people inhabit in relationships and how those spaces are disrupted or abandoned when a relationship ends. Manalo translates photographs into paintings to create layers of distance and melancholy, often touching on the psychology of domestic space. Her work explores the relationship between her two young children and interior and exterior spaces. In her paintings, the environment surrounding her children becomes subsumed by a negative white space to create a picture where the positive is emerging from that light. Schmeltz's installations examine the ideas of comfort, contradictions, and connections of daily life. Using mundane materials, she creates room-sized installations that respond to the space while simultaneously referencing architecture and the landscape. Taguchi's installations are made from reflective materials such as mylar and mirrors. When light hits the surface, reflections and shadows interplay to create magical landscapes in a built environment.
