Gallery 31 of the Corcoran College of
Art + Design is pleased to announce the
call for submissions for its new show
dedicated to art and technology to be
displayed from August 6 - September 2,
2012. The exhibition is aiming to
explore the phenomenon of innovative
technologies in relation to contemporary
art (or: the relation of contemporary
art to new technologies). Although the
emphasis will be on exploring the art
practices when a machine makes a vast
amount of work, artists working in a way
that opposes technology may also apply
(we are interested in yarn bombing etc)
This call seeks works addressing the
recent tendency of personal fabrication
of things, labs and the emergence of
do-it-yourself communities. SUBMISSION
