1st Annual N U D E An International Competitive Exhibit Exploring the Uncovered Human Form in Current Art In honor of that which we all share in common, which is the only thing that is truly ours throughout our lifetime... Manifest exhibits many kinds of works, from the most conceptual and experimental to more traditional. In fact we think it's important to have such a range in our repertoire. In our Drawing Center Studio we provide extensive opportunities and instruction to professionals and students to study life-drawing. While our studio is not limited to working just from the nude model, this age-old practice is a core component in our curriculum, and our flagship studio offering. So in honor of our commitment to this practice we have chosen to add another 'annual' exhibit to our roster, this one dedicated to works that in some way depict, explore, or address the human nude form. With this we invited artists to submit works in any media, of any style or genre, (abstract, conceptual, highly realistic, etc.), and of any size, for consideration in Manifest's first annual NUDE, an international competitive exhibit exploring the uncovered human form in current art. Over 600 works were submitted by 265 artists for consideration by our jury. The resulting exhibit will consist of 25 very diverse works by the following twenty artists from 13 states and three countries: Michael Bird (Emporia, KS) Chris Cooper (Lakeville, CT) William Coronado (Passaic, NJ) Matthew Davey (Indianapolis, IN) Thomasin Dewhurst (Livermore, CA) Delano Dunn (Brooklyn, NY) Hans Guerin (Baltimore, MD) Amanda Hext (Lake Charles, LA) Mark Langeneckert (Columbia, MO) Zachari Logan (Saskatoon, Canada) Christina Grace Mastrangelo (Florence, Italy) Michael Morris (Louisville, KY) Valerie Patterson (Malone, NY) Yvonne Petkus (Bowling Green, KY) Joseph Reid (Chatham, NY) Kirstine Reiner (San Francisco, CA) Hyeyoung Shin (Amherst, NY) Sheldon Tapley (Danville, KY) Shane Wolf (Cincinnati, OH) Plamen Yordanov (Chicago, IL) Curated by Jason Franz |
