CALL FOR ENTRIES: 2015 ARTIST MEMBERS EXHIBITION The Center for Book Arts is pleased to invite Artist Members to submit artworks produced post 2009 to be considered for the 2015 Artist Members Exhibition tentatively titled: /mit ðə detə/: Source Materials Visualized. The exhibition will be organized by Alexander Campos, Executive Director & Curator, The Center for Book Arts and Heidi Neilson, Artist and co‐Founder of SP Weather Station. This exhibition will present artist book and related works that are visual interpretations, extrapolations, and recontextualizations of research source materials such as data analysis, surveying, mapping, plotting, data mining, statistics, analytics, observations, schemes, etc. Focusing on artist books and works that relate to the concept of book arts, the curators are equally interested in work that uses new media referring to the concept of books. Approximately twenty to thirty works will be chosen for display in the Center for Book Art’s auxiliary gallery space. Artist members of the Center for Book Arts are encouraged to submit works to be selected by the show’s curator, and the selections will be augmented by works by non‐member artists to enhance the scope of the exhibition. We encourage artists to submit more than one work to be reviewed. Artists are invited to submit as many works for review as they wish, up to 10 images in total. All images must be properly labeled and accompanied by an image list with name, title, year created, dimensions, medium/materials, and credited properly (authors, collector, etc.) Submissions can be made via online submission form (centerforbookarts.submittable.com/submit) or on CDs mailed to the Center.
