News By ArtDeadline.Com
 
studio2galler.jpg
National Deadline: September 14, 2010 - Studio2Gallery seeks artworks offering the artificial, illusion, ingenuity or masked perceptions. Open to all styles (including video), emerging and established artists 18+. Artworks submitted must have been executed within the last 4 years to be eligible.

'artifice: trickery, ruse, deception, a clever device, ingenuity'

''Assuming that you are a good person, consider the possibility, as you partake in Halloween festivities this year and put on a sinister mask, that perhaps the 364 other days of the year are the domain of sinister people who don masks of respectability, warmth and kindness, who conjure superficial fictions but succeed surprisingly often in passing them off as real. Consider the possibility that mainstream consensual 'reality' is in fact a thin facade concealing a web of hastily assembled and continually reinforced supports not unlike the back-stage scaffolding at a traveling carnival, with hawkers and performers intent on emptying their patrons pockets before the fraud is discovered''. - Excerpt from the art statement of feature artist, Marc Silva
