Call for Artists: "Re-Accession: For Sale by Owner"

The FLAG Art Foundation is seeking artists who, had the economy not taken the nose dive it has, would currently have gallery representation in New York. It's a generous, intriguing idea for an exhibition. Details below:

The working title is "Re-Accession: For Sale by Owner" and it is being co-curated by Philae Knight and Amanda Steck. We are specifically looking for artists whose galleries have closed or down-sized due to the current economic circumstances and are thus left without representation in New York.

We will also consider artists who almost had representation and whose window quickly closed due to current constraints. As always, nothing will be for sale given FLAG's non-profit mission, but if artists would like, we will provide email, website or other contact information on the checklist for anyone interested in following up after seeing the show.


If you have any artist friends or know of someone who is appropriate for this show please have them send jpeg submissions with title, medium and dimensions to Stephanie Roach, FLAG's Director, at stephanie@flagartfoundation.org as soon as possible but no later than Monday June 8.

If you've never been to the FLAG Art Foundation, I can tell you, it's one sweet exhibition space with a world-class list of exhibitions under its relatively new belt.

As I always advise artists considering any space, do your homework and go check it out in person first. Their current exhibition is a gem by one of our favorite young curators Stamatina Gregory. It's titled "Vague Terrain: Analogues of Place in Contemporary Photography."

Also, do yourself a favor and follow their e-mail submission procedure (i.e., don't take your work there in person) if you're thinking about submitting work for this show.
