CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
for themed group show
|
At fourteenfifteen gallery, June 9 - July 2nd.
Submission deadline is May 26, 2023. Email proposal for your entry (brief artist statement, image) to fourteenfifteengallery@gmail.com. Reality is a slippery fish right now, isn’t it? All things are simulatable: photos, conversations, videos, voices, news clips, illustration, writing styles. Hours of waking life are spent in virtual spaces, projecting ourselves into disembodied environments and shared dreams. The vastness of the world can be experienced as reflections in a mirror in the palm of one’s hand. It’s incredible to behold. But what exactly are we witnessing? The cutting edge of technology pressing against reality’s softening membrane. Advancements are outpacing our ability to decipher what is real and what is conjured. As all things become possible, everything begins to feel doubtable, suspicious. Populations adopt alternate realities or reject established truths. |

And back on earth, reality is as non-negotiable as ever. The same wolf at the door, the same circling carrion bird overhead that it’s always been, and we are not as far from its ravenous interests as these clever pastimes would lead us to believe. We cannot astral project away from this planet.
For this next group show, we ask you to step into the demilitarized zone between the irresistible simulation and the immovable reality, to forage in the fog of the illusory, and bring us back what artifacts you can find. Seeking art (in any medium) that explores these themes.

Join the League of Acquaintances
The L.o.A. (League of Acquaintances) is a group of folks joined together by their belief in the value of this space: a welcoming place with low barrier of entry where artists can experiment, make connections, and share work with the community. This space, through its many different iterations, has been an important site for experimental art for over two decades in Albuquerque, and and we want to keep it thriving! We run the space as a collective, out of pocket, negotiating responsibilities depending on our personal lives and availability.
