CALL FOR ENTRIES:
2011 CBA ARTIST MEMBERS EXHIBITION

The Center for Book Arts is pleased to invite Artist Members to submit
artworks produced post 2005 to be considered for the 2011 Artist Members
Exhibition tentatively titled: The Photograph Un[framed]. The exhibition is
to be organized by Doug Beube, Mixed-Media Artist and Photographer, Curator
of Allan Chasanoff Book Works Collection, and Adjunct Professor in the
Department of Photography at Parsons New School of Design, and Alexander
Campos, Executive Director and Curator, The Center for Book Arts. This
exhibition, featuring current members of CBA's artistic community and other
invited artists whose work will further the discourse, will focus on how the
art of photography, the photographic process, and related media such as
video stills are used to convey content, form, text, and image within a
broader context of book arts practices. Artworks featured in this
exhibition will represent a broad range of book and related arts,
including but not limited to books, prints, sculpture, mixed-media
installation, new media, and performance art. Approximately 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 via CD-ROMS (no original artwork) for
review as they wish, up to 12 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.)
