Call for Art

Mudluscious, taken from American poet E. E. Cummings 1958 poem “In Just”, proposes a poetic investigation of fertile ground both earthly and as embodied by the artist’s imagination. What does the suffering of a planet exploited in the service of commerce exact on its collective imagination? Artists are asked to address primal ooze as metaphor, scientific investigation, poetic mythology and psychological terrain with particular emphasis on works that question ideas of potency, impotency, fertility, barrenness, sustainability, depletion, growth, and systemic processes of failure and rebirth. All two and three dimensional media welcome for consideration including installation, performance and relational art.
