    Spontaneous

    Contests, Juried Art Shows - Oil, Art Gallery

    Spontaneity is the hallmark for great documentary and street photography where the moments of life, often ironic, poignant, emotionally charged, tragic or absurd are frozen.Photography provides the means to capture a moment but which moment makes all the difference. Well known masters include Henri Cartier-Bresson and W. Eugene Smith with recent discoveries such as Vivian Maier and Frank Oscar Larson adding to a long list of great photographers.Many of the scenes captured by practitioners of this art, with the possible exception of war and extreme sports documentary, pass before us every day, but we do not see. This exhibit is dedicated to those who strive to see, realize and then manifest vision and moment into an image so that we can all see what is right in front of us or inaccessible in some other way. Showing us the remarkable moments that make up the, often unconscious, Human Experience.Juror: Nikos EconomopoulosNikos Economopoulos began his photography career inn 1988 with a long-term project in Greece and Turkey. He photographed whatever he came across on his daily walks: street scenes, public gatherings, solitary meanderers, or deserted landscapes. In 1990 After joining Magnum Economopoulos' photographs began to appear in newspapers and magazines worldwide. In the same year he started to take photographs in Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and the former Yugoslavia, investigating the territorial, ethnic and religious tensions of the region, as well as the endurance of traditional social and religious rites. This work earned him the Mother Jones Award in 1992.

    Call for Applications : Turps Art School / Painting Studio Programme

    Other - , Art Gallery

    Peter Ashton Jones and Marcus Harvey have long held the view that an artist led painting school could flourish in a climate where there is growing disquiet about the quality of painting tuition, inadequate tutorial input and rise in tuition fees on too many established fine art courses. The Editors feel it is time to respond to this in much the same way that a painting magazine run by practicing painters has fulfilled a need for many painters with a desire for intellectual stimulus and focus in this area.In September 2012, we are launching a unique opportunity for a select group of painters take up residence in their own dedicated studio space within a landmark new arts complex and embark on a 12 month intensive programme of mentoring, dynamic group seminars, talks and lectures. Culminating in a group exhibition in London in 2013. In this studio context we expect to focus on the specific qualities an artist brings with a view to developing their practice. The course is designed to fulfil a back to basics and broad view of what we believe a solid painting course requires.Year One of the Turps Art School: Painting Studio Programme will begin in September 2012 and end in August 2013.Applications process is now open and will close on 16 April 2012For further details about fees, eligibility and application process please contact us at our email addresss.

    YEARBOOK OF ARTS 2010
    In order to enhance and give greater visibility to artists, the Alborques intends to publish several books with works from artists exhibited at the gallery.
    The first literary projects supported by will be the publication of the Yearbook of the Arts 2010 and a book that will make the connection between painting and poetry (book of poems written by the artist André Gaglianone on several works on display at the site).
    These projects will be performed through several phases, being the first to obtain information of the artists who are interested in participating in these 2 publications.
    Among the artists who want to join these projects, we will choose those which have the highest quality, giving a prevalence to those that most contribute to the dissemination of the gallery by participating in the collective exhibitions that Alborques has organized and to the artists that most visits and comments made on pages of other artists.
    We have not yet the information of the predicted price of the books, but we ensure that the project just will advance in the case that, unlike other similar publications, there is no cost or commitment to the artists to take into these projects, as standard in all that concerns Alborques.
    We are always at your disposal if you want to clarify any questions.

    Get published in an Art House book and have your work travel across the country!
    An international scavenger hunt to see how artists from around the globe visually interpret the same items, which are then documented in a book and will show in New York and Seattle. This is as much a social experiment as it is an art exhibition. Any medium may be used. All artists are welcome to participate.

    Subject: The Sketchbook Project: Library
    Be one of the founding contributors to The Sketchbook Library by signing up to receive a sketchbook, filling it up with art, and sending it back. Sketchbooks offers a glimpse into an artist's life, which is why we want to make a publicly accessible library of sketchbooks that people can browse, peruse, and check out. We think that this sketchbook collection has the potential to open a new line of communication between the artist and the viewer, since the experience of making and viewing are both so personal. Anyone can sign up to receive a sketchbook. Before joining our permanent collection, sketchbooks will be exhibited at select galleries across the US. Each sketchbook will be barcoded and cataloged, allowing visitors to choose what they want to look at via theme, medium, geographic location, name of the artist, etc.
    Sketchbooks will be shown in LA, Brooklyn, Chicago, Atlanta, andSt. Louis.
