FENCES – Call For Submissions – Visual Artists

FENCES evoke association with words like ‘border,’ and ‘security’. Like a
wall, they keep people, animals or things apart from each other, control
access, provide safety, or prevent escape. A fence can be an invisible
boundary built from assumptions, preconceptions, cultural differences, and
bias or a friendly boundary born of respect. Depending on how it is made, a
fence can appear threatening or welcoming. Barbed wire fences convey “do
not cross”. Conversely, a low, white picket fence can be inviting. In the
context of contemporary world movements and resurgence in Nationalism,
fences can be thought of as structures with which to assert ideological and
other differences. This call for submissions invites consideration of
FENCES, the power they have over our behaviour, and the different types of
physical, symbolic or metaphoric fences that exist politically, socially
and personally.

This call is restricted to visual artists who reside within the province of
British Columbia, working in any media. Artists whose work is selected will
receive an exhibition fee. Projected exhibition date is: January 18, to
April 1, 2018.

SUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 5PM, 17 NOVEMBER 2017
