CALL TO ARTISTSDeadline: January 20, 2013

Identity is defined as the set of characteristics that enable an entity to be definable and distinguishable from others. While we can list these characteristics about ourselves, we must acknowledge that this list of traits is not static. The reality of our personal identity is that it is not only fluid but also self-assigned. As individuals we have control of the construction of our own identity. In a less intentional mode, we grow and change as humans while our identity evolves with us.

The announcement by the Oxford Dictionaries that the 2013 Word of the Year is ‘selfie’ indicates that our understanding of identity has grown to accommodate a new mode and method of presentation. Yet this just may be the most recent incarnation in the long history of self-portraiture that has been a staple of artistic practice for centuries. We seek submissions

from artists whose work interrogates self-identification and self-presentation. Submissions may explore the fluidity of identity or identities defined by culture, gender, nationality, religious beliefs, etc. We welcome work from all media including performance and installation.

Please submit images of your work along with artist name, titles, dimensions, and medium. For performance and installation proposals, please include a brief description of your idea along with duration time, dimension, etc. that is relevant. Each artist may submit up to five works.

This exhibition will be installed at MAINSITE gallery in Norman from February 14 – March 14, 2013.

Submit all materials to: selfieartshow@gmail.com
