KSW Call for Submissions/Proposals for PIRATED
PIRATED: Kearny Street Workshop Seeks Submissions/Proposals for New Exhibition
pi�rate n.
1. a. One who robs at sea or plunders the land from the sea without
commission from a sovereign nation.
b. A ship used for this purpose.
2. One who preys on others; a plunderer.
3. One who makes use of or reproduces the work of another without
authorization.
4. One that operates an unlicensed, illegal television or radio station.
Kearny Street Workshop, a 32-year old multidisciplinary Asian Pacific American arts organization, is seeking submissions for an exhibition that will explore the concept of piracy/the pirate and its impact on culture, power, and the immigrant identity, from an APA perspective. We are looking for proposals for new work in particular, but will accept submissions of completed work or works in progress as well. The exhibition will be presented May 2005 in SomArts Cultural Center's Bay Gallery.
What role does piracy/the pirate play in the global economy, in the political landscape, and in the shaping of culture and identity? Piracy takes on multiple forms: the piracy of ideas and culture, the piracy of political, economic, and social power, and, of course, the piracy of actual human life and belongings. The exhibition will explore piracy in terms of power: how piracy can both hijack power (e.g., hijacked elections) and subvert power (e.g., pirate radio); and piracy in terms of culture: how piracy can both appropriate culture, and shape culture.
This planned group exhibition may include all genres of visual arts including drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, installation, video, projection, mixed media/multimedia, etc. Proposals for time-based work for gallery exhibition also accepted.
Please send proposals for new work or submissions of completed work/works-in-progress to:
