LOST HORIZON (art about history)
An International Competitive Exhibit of Works Exploring History
CALL FOR ENTRIES
Deadline to Submit: October 1, 2012
Entry fee: $10
Everything that has ever happened, ever, has led to this moment.
A small slice of the leading edge of the wave of time is documented, encapsulated, and frozen in the form of human history. They say that history is written by the winners. Perhaps it is more true to say that it is written by those who survive, and only for the brief time in which they can still talk about it. That, we suppose, would be the collective us.
History is generally divided into two philosophies, speculative and critical. Regardless of which, key words apply, and include terms such as progress, truth, fact, civilization, cycles, patterns, society, past, direction, humanity, linear, evolution, and so on. Inevitably, history is a view of humanity across time.
How do artists reflect upon, and even participate in history? Surely some do it consciously, as a subject of focus. Others may have it in mind, without the intention of feeding into or addressing it at all. Whatever the case may be, Manifest offers Lost Horizon as an invitation to artists to submit works of any type of visual art for consideration. Works may be of any media, style, or genre, and may address history from a literal or symbolic standpoint.
Manifest is eager to present and document a broadly compelling exhibition reflecting on history as a concept, and human history as it has, or may yet, occur.
Eligibility: LOST HORIZON is open to everyone. Professionals as well as students are encouraged to enter. The only limitation is that entries must represent original works of art.
Media: Open to any and all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, including painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography, mixed media, video, etc. The only limiting factor is that works must in some way involve, represent, or explore history in some way (obvious or subtle).
A full-color catalog will be produced.
