TRUTH, Artist books and broadsides

 The concept of "truth" has been associated with books and the printed word for a long time, as in “going by the book” and other catch-phrases. Unfortunately the very notion of “truth” in the U.S.A. became politicized during the previous presidency and continues to take a beating in politics, the media and even in daily interactions between friends. Gallery Route One asks artists to consider what form truth takes and how they could EMBODY TRUTH in their work, within the artist book or broadside format. What does the word mean now: personally, politically or philosophically? How does an artist embody truth in their work?

Gallery Route One invites artists to submit expressions about truth in the form of handmade, handbound artist books both unique and in small editions, altered books, folded or sculptural books and very limited edition broadsides. 

Juror Sas Colby is a visual artist with over 5 decades of creating, exhibiting, and teaching art. Her artistic practice includes nontraditional artists books and work with text. A retrospective, Sisters of Invention: 45 Years of Book Art by Sas Colby, Betsy Davids and Jaime Robles, was exhibited at the San Francisco Center for the Book in 2015.

River Oaks' small art spectacle returns for 2022. The 7th Annual 5x5x5 features a remarkably fascinating showing of miniature works from artists across the U.S., coinciding with the gift-giving season. The guest Juror for the 2022 feature is Ashley Kenneth Chavis. River Oaks is inviting all visual artists to participate in this annual miniature feature. The 5x5x5 Show is a signature event for the Arts Center, allowing patrons to purchase unique, original works of art for holiday gift giving or as additions to their expanding collections.

Guest Juror - Ashley Kenneth Chavis
Ashley Chavis is originally from southeast Georgia. In 1995 he received an art portfolio scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) to study architecture. After a year at SCAD, he decided to transfer to Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah to take full advantage of the Hope Scholarship. During that time, Ashley fell in love with Fine Art and graduated from Armstrong with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Studio Art. He completed graduate school in 2005 at The University of Mississippi where he earned the Master of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in Ceramics.

Since 2007, Ashley has been a full-time art instructor at Northwest Mississippi Community College where he teaches foundation art courses in Drawing and Ceramics. Much of his creative energy is devoted to producing functional pottery with a simple aesthetic that synthesizes design, tactility, and function. In addition to clay, Ashley also experiments with mixed-media drawings; and in 2019, drawing was the focus of his residency and exhibition in Marnay Sur Seine, France. His most recent clay accomplishments include entry into the 29th Annual Strictly Functional Pottery National Exhibition in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and the SECAC 2021 Members Juried Exhibition in Lexington, Kentucky. Ashley’s work can also be found at Oxford Treehouse Gallery in Oxford, Mississippi. He is a member of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA), Southeastern College Art Conference (SECAC), Southern Graphics Council International (SGCI), and Sycamore Arts Council. Ashley lives in Oxford, Mississippi with his wife, Virginia (who is also an artist), and their two children.

The sites are spaced in a manner to promote walking from one sculpture to another, creating a trail to follow.

A digital walking tour will be created and all artists will be requested to submit content to be placed in that online platform. We will regularly bring public attention to the Augusta Sculpture Trail through in-person and online events. We will additionally promote the availability of the sculptures for purchase.

Selected artists will receive a stipend of $3,000 for the 2-year lease of their work ($1,500 upon installation, $1,500 upon de-installation).

The City of London, in partnership with the Arts Advisory Board and the curatorial team at Sculpture in the City, are pleased to extend a call for submissions to the 12th edition of Sculpture in the City, taking place from June 2023 to May 2024. Deadline for submissions: 5.00pm (GMT), Tuesday 1st November 2022.

WHAT IS SCULPTURE IN THE CITY?

Sculpture in the City (SITC) is an award-winning annual urban sculpture park, launching each year in June. It is a cultural initiative delivered by the City of London Corporation in partnership with 11 local businesses with a mission to present cultural projects in line with the Lord Mayor’s vision and support for London’s creative industries and artistic talent. SITC uses the Square Mile as an outdoor urban gallery space to show the best of contemporary art by established and emerging artists from the UK and the world. Open 24/7 with no admission charge, it is London’s largest free outdoor display of public art.

Each year the Arts Advisory Board selects artworks from an open call to realise a unique display of contemporary art in an urban setting. On average, SITC attracts 500,000 unique visitors each year.

SITE

SITC takes place in the EC3 area around the City’s historic buildings (Leadenhall Market, St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate Churchyard) and iconic contemporary architecture (30 St Mary Axe a.k.a. ‘The Gherkin’ , Leadenhall Building a.k.a. ‘The Cheesegrater’, Lloyds Building, 22 Bishopsgate). The project’s character is set by the dialogue between the contemporary artworks and their old and new architectural settings.

EXHIBITION

SITC is the largest free public art exhibition in London. To date, SITC has presented 141 contemporary artworks in the City of London’s public spaces over 11 editions (2010–2022).

The exhibition does not have a specific theme. Selection is based on each work’s artistic merit and its suitability to the urban context (e.g. materiality, scale and style).

The 11th edition (on view until spring 2023) showcased 20 contemporary artworks by established and emerging British and international artists, including Alice Channer, Shezad Dawood, Bram Ellen, Sarah Lucas, Jocelyn McGregor, Emma Louise Moore, and Ugo Rondinone.
