Compete Corpus: International Call Exploring the Photograph as Object
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: July 6, 2024 –The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works that explore the photograph as an object for its season opening exhibition. All traditional and non-traditional photographic and light-based genre and media welcome.
CORPUS calls to artists for photographic-based works that re-engage the body, acknowledge their place in the physical world, and explore the impacts of choice of surface, volume, texture, material, and presentation methods on the experience of the image itself—the spirit in the body of the art. It aims to reveal the literal backstory, or other sides of what has become a sideless visual phenomenon, giving the photo back its body.
This exhibit is support by FotoFocus as a participating venue project of the 2024 FotoFocus Biennial.
On display September 27 – October 25, 2024
ELIGIBILITY
CORPUS is open to everyone internationally. The only limitation is that entries must represent original works which address the broad theme described above. Open to all traditional and non-traditional photographic and light-based genre and media.
HONORARIA
Each participating exhibitor will receive a $50 honorarium. The honorarium has no strings attached (other than full participation in the relevant exhibit). It is a modest thank-you for collaborating with us as we chart our future.
$9,000 IN GRAND JURY AWARDS
For season 20 the new Grand Jury Award format will result in the awarding of $1,000 to one work during each of our nine exhibition periods. This expands our support from one to up to nine artists each year, and allocates 80% more funding to recognize the merits of exhibited works… see more.
JURY & CURATOR
This exhibit will be juried by an anonymous several member panel of professional and academic advisors with a broad range of expertise relative to art and design. The jury will then pass along their recommendations to the exhibit curator who will make the final selections from the jury-approved pool.
PUBLICATION
Manifest Press will produce a high quality hard-cover publication documenting each entire season of exhibits, artists, and works shown. This continues Manifest’s commitment to long-term documentation and dissemination of our projects, and the expansion of physical exhibits into a broader geography and time frame, while also bringing all exhibits together under one cover each year to create a better product which will be more valuable to the public, teachers, libraries, and exhibiting artists.
