The New Generations: Student Showcase is looking for talented student artists to be featured in this year’s show. The theme for the showcase is Matter! – think of it as a one word manifesto. Matter! is the stuff of our lives, the goods that surround us, the fibers we wear, and the atoms of which our bodies are formed. Artists and designers have, in recent years, called for a return to Matter!, new investigations of material culture, a re-invigoration of distinctly handmade objects, and insistent materiality. In an age characterized by post-studio art, others might argue that what matters most today is something immaterial, something social, an artistic form of anti-matter.
Matter! is a serious call for your creative contributions. Weigh in with your own submissions of work to be considered by our jury of art professionals.
