"Look Attractive" - MO
Deadline: October 1, 12. UMKC Gallery of Art is seeking new work that addresses attraction. Attraction has as much to do with physical appearance as is does with biology, culture, environmental factors, and societal influence. Human courtship rituals evolve as standards of beauty and attraction change, but the basic biological behaviors that guide mate selections remain hardwired in our biology. Flirting, staring, and physical responses to beauty are biological behaviors that nature instills in us to ensure our selection of a mate. Could these same principles be at play when viewing art? Is there any similarity between our physical reaction to humans we find attractive and artwork we find attractive? What catches our eyes, what lures us in, what causes us to stop and stare when experiencing visual art? How does your art attract or depict attraction? The UMKC Gallery of Art is the public exhibition space of the College of Arts and Sciences and located in the Fine Arts Building at the University of Missouri – Kansas City. This exhibition is curated by the Davin Watne, Amye Metcalf, Amy DeSitter and Logan Chermack. Qualifications: Conditions of entry: Open to artists over 18 years of age, no geographic restrictions, and all mediums as long as space allows. How to Apply: Images must be submitted in JPG format at 72dpi emailed to umkcgallery@umkc.edu. Artists can submit up to 3 images. http://cas.umkc.edu/art/gallery-contact.asp
