WORK: Crossing the Line implies momentum, intention, a choice, an action.
The line can be architectural as in the threshold between spaces – inside to outside or moving from private space to public – opening up a conversation of siting works selected for the exhibition in a setting adjacent to the gallery, perhaps at the 17th Street entrance or at other locations between the gallery and the college.
The line can be perceived as divisions between people and cultures – a continuing conversation regarding the validity of the “self” and the “other”. Is this theoretical line still valid?
The line can be formal as in crosshatch – intersecting parallel lines that create shading; conceptual as in the definition of a medium and the desire to strictly or loosely define an artistic form.
Finally, Crossing the Line can imply questions of propriety or social norms. What taboos remain in an art world where seemingly anything goes? Might not a reinterpretation of the great traditions of the art world -painting on canvas, drawing on paper, casting in bronze, copper plate etching - be a radical statement for our times?
--the theme is open to interpretation. Recent works in all media are encouraged.
Entries must be recent (completed within the last 5 years), original works. Works not properly prepared for installation will not be installed. Clips and loop hooks are not acceptable. The Corcoran reserves the right to reject work that is deemed unstable, that differs from the submitted digital image/and or description of work, or that is not professionally presented.
