American Mythology - Call For Art
ArtWorkSF and RhinoLoveScratch Art Productions announce a call for artists for their first collaborative show.
TITLE OF SHOW: American Mythology
THEME OF SHOW: Ancient civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Celts and Norse are all well known for their mythology and cast of gods. These and other civilizations used myths to explain or rationalize aspects of their society or the universe. Myths told how the world as created, explained natural occurrences like the rising and setting of the sun and the changing of the seasons, and delineated the relationship between the gods and humans, or nature and humans. The gods that took center stage in these mythological systems often displayed human characteristics such a love, jealousy, pride, anger, and sadness. Also, these gods were generally the "god of" something - love, war, wine, the earth, the sky, youth, death...
If you were an anthropologist from a thousand years into the future looking back at the United States today, what kind of mythological system would you see? Who are the gods of the American pantheon - musicians, artists, actors, politicians, athletes? What would be the relationship between the gods and the humans? The relationship between the gods? What stories would American mythology tell? How were different facets of the American life created?
The art work requested for the show should explore the above questions or any related idea that you may have.
LOCATION: Polarity Post Production, 69 Green St/Front, San Francisco
