Call for Art: METHOD
METHOD, a group exhibition at Angels Gate Cultural Center in collaboration with SUPERCOLLIDER
Apply by July 31st. Opening September 14th, 2024.
About:
In the dynamic realm of transdisciplinary research, where art collides with science, engineering, architecture, and beyond, METHOD seeks to explore and expand the notion of experimentation. This exhibition invites artists, scientists, engineers, architects, and creatives of all disciplines to submit works that interrogate, redefine, and transcend traditional epistemological and medium-specific boundaries. We are seeking innovative artworks and projects that embody the spirit of experimentation across and beyond conventional frameworks. Whether it’s through bio art, digital media, architectural installations, or mixed media sculptures, show us how you experiment within your field or across disciplines to challenge and redefine the known.
Juror:
METHOD will be guest juried by Kira Xonorika, SUPERCOLLIDER SciArt Ambassador. Kira Xonorika is a groundbreaking artist, writer, and futurist whose work operates at the intersections of technology, culture, and identity.
Themes to consider:
-Integration vs. Collision: How do different fields interact within your work? Is there a seamless integration or a provocative collision?
-Process as Product: In what ways does your work make the process of experimentation visible or integral to the artwork itself?
-Redefining Boundaries: How does your work challenge the traditional boundaries of your discipline or between disciplines?
More details:
The exhibition will open September 14th and close December 6th, 2024 at the galleries located at Angels Gate Cultural Center. All artists will be invited to the public, free opening reception on Saturday, September 14th from 2pm-5pm and receive one free exhibition catalog.

Queer Men Artist Lab: New Orleans 2024
Kolaj Institute and Kasini House’s Art Meets History project are organizing a Queer Men Artist Lab: New Orleans, 27-30 August 2024.
Deadline to Apply: Sunday, 28 July 2024
The goal of the Queer Men Artist Lab: New Orleans is to equip artists with tools and strategies for picking up the unfinished work of history and speak to contemporary civic discourse around social, economic, and environmental issues. Through interactive sessions in the Lab and panel discussions, artists will explore their process and practice; present a slideshow of their work; receive supportive, critical, curatorial feedback about their ideas; and discuss contemporary issues.
During the lab, artists will make collage as a way to explore artist practice, process, and meaning making. Artists will explore the queer geography and history of New Orleans and consider how similar geographies and histories from their home communities may inform their proposal. Artists will complete the Lab with a project proposal for a contemporary art project (an exhibition or a book) and a sample work that will be considered for an exhibition that will take place in 2025.
