CALL FOR ENTRY
Some time ago, a few of our members travelled to the Seattle Art Museum to see an exhibition of Soundsuits by Nick Cave. Click here and here for some websites concerned with his Soundsuits. This is a great YouTube video - many more if you look for them. Our members were blown away by his show, and were particularly inspired by the show's juxtaposition with an exhibition of African masks and headdresses.
Talking Heads: A Contemporary Take
on Headdresses
Call for Submissions:
The North Vancouver Community Arts
Council, in partnership with The Surface Design Association, BC, will present Talking Heads, a Contemporary
Take on Headdresses, at the Cityscape
Community Art
Gallery , North Vancouver
This juried exhibition will
showcase works inspired by historical and/or cultural headdresses. Headdresses,
whether practical or ceremonial, have traditionally made a statement about the
wearer and their cultural community. Our contemporary take on these historical
artifacts will similarly make a statement about ourselves and our own cultural
environments, while exploring an exciting diversity of techniques and media, as
well as innovative approaches to the theme.
The exhibition is open to fibre
artists who are members of the
Surface Design Association. Membership information can be found on the SDA website.
