Links to articles, artists, and organizations working with fabric and other materials
Propeller Art Gallery Current Members and Alumni are invited to unfurl their creativity and tell an artist’s tale on a long vertical strip of “fabric”. Our vision is to assemble a collection of vibrant banners and other fabricated stories to brighten and invigorate long winter days.
These banners, or “fabric” assemblages can be painted, dyed and marked with traditional or unusual processes, printed, ripped, woven into, written upon, cut, or even deconstructed and reshaped into sculptural pieces. The banners may also include collages, sewn in pieces of fabric or embroidery, photo transfers, small found objects, wires; you can also use layering, stitching, braiding, twisting and quilting. The possibilities are endless! The term “fabric” is used in the broadest sense; you can start with a strip of canvas, or any other cloth, found, created, recycled, or with various papers, Tyvek, Mylar and Duralar.
You may have a story in mind or let the process evolve into a narrative. Please include the story related to your fabrication as part of your artist statement in the submission. The text will add to the viewer’s understanding of your creative artwork and will be an integral part of this exhibition.
As this is now a virtual exhibition, there are no limits on the size of the artworks to be submitted. The Unfurled artworks should be unframed. Although we prefer vertical banners, we will accept horizontal displays, sculptures and installations. However, the artists should be guided by the spirit of the call.
This is a non-juried show that welcomes all Propeller Art Gallery Alumni and Current Members. This will be a online exhibition opening on February 10th, with a Zoom opening on February 20, 2021.
