How To Participate
 |
 |
Call to Artists
to crochet, knit, stitch, quilt, or patch 3 foot square (91.4 cm x 91.4 cm) fiber panels.
The topic to be represented is your countries extreme dependency on oil
for energy. Your
panel need not contain an image or be a literal portrayal of your idea.
Simply by designing and creating a panel of any colors and any fiber
technique
and participating in this project you are, in the larger picture,
expressing your concern about this important subject to the rest of the
world.
The design of the panel does not necessarily have to directly reflect
the topic; self-expression is left up to the artist. Relief on panels is encouraged and all panels will be accepted.
THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE
Panels and entry forms must be received no later than March 15, 2008. Mail to: Jennifer Marsh, Syracuse University, Comart Building, 1055 Comstock Road, Syracuse, New York, 13244
Once 800 panels are received from around the world they will be
assembled together to create a large fitted covering to completely
envelop an abandoned gas station in central New York. Separate panels
will be crocheted to cover the detached gas pumps.
- Installation will take place Saturday April 12, 2008 at: Nottingham Citgo #53, 2301 E. Colvin Street, Syracuse, New York, 13224. (Map)
- Please do not mail artwork to this address
- The project will be on display through the end of the summer 2008.
- A reception will be held Saturday, May 3, 2008 from 5-8 pm at the Nottingham Citgo. (address above) Food & Music.
Following completion of project, I would like to take the gas station
cover on tour to abandoned gas stations around the country.(or even the
world!) However, at some point I will sell the individual panels to
raise money for a not-for-profit Fiber organization. (Suggestions
welcome) Unless requested, panels will not be returned to the artist.
Please Note:
- Panels may be documented and displayed on this web site unless otherwise requested by the artist.
- Names of artists participating may be displayed at the installation site unless otherwise requested by the artist.
- Panels
may be used for further collaboratives and will not be returned to the
artist unless requested. Artists will be kept informed of any changes.
