[spectre] Exhibition opportunity Call-out for works

[diana ali]

Please can you circulate this exhibition opportunity?


*Open Call for works*



*Deadline: 12/5/18*


*‘Loss & Lucidity.’    **(The Lost & Found)*


*Santa Ana, California, US*



*Dates: July/August 2018*


*An exhibition of contemporary artwork investigating the misplaced, the
missed and the mended. *



*Concept: *


Have you lost something? Do you become lost in your work? Have you lost
someone? Have you lost your way? Are you a flaneur, flaneuse, in
wanderlust, in terra incognita, a nomad, a shaman, a drifter?



What tools do we use to find lucidity in that lost? Maps, GPS, emotional
celibacy, memories, reinvention, survival skills, escapism, keep hold of
old ties or retrace steps to experience the joy of retrieving?



Your possessions may have disappeared but you are still here. So how can we
find closure when the subject has ceased? Inevitably, the unforeseen can
only be anticipated- not measured or calculated. Maybe some things are not
lost just at a distance. Loss can be celebrated because to be fully lost is
to be fully present.



*Who:*



How can artists show lucidity in loss?



A photo, an old letter, an outworn garment reminds us we were. The trace of
a body on a surface, the sound of a single note of a song, the
immateriality of the material, the colour of images, a footprint, scars,
the ruins of human construction, ghost towns, lost lands, warzones, loss of
society through political systems, filling voids, solving a puzzle, gluing
pieces of history together, transcribing a lost language, the diasporaand
displacement in a new terrain, taking the correct turning on a cross-road
could be ways to find lucidity in that loss.



*What:*



Works submitted can include traditional art forms of photography, painting
and sculpture but also the contemporary processes of interventions,
installations and new media and video will be very welcome. (please note
any equipment to show video/film works will need to be provided by
yourselves if not available through the gallery)
