Cruxist Manifesto: Call for Submissions


This is a call to painters, sculptors, installation artists, photographers, sound recorders, video artists, print makers, performers, filmmakers and all other relevant media artists. Let us do away with the last remnants of Greenbergian specificity and truly embrace the Medias of our time. Today more than ever before, traditional forms of art no longer consume the field. This is not to say that painting is dead, but rather that we take pride in our fluency of several media.

As we embark on a new decade, how will we make our mark on the present for the future? How will we be remembered? Working in/outside/around the White Cube it is clear that Art is undergoing major renovations.

In this space we have a chance to experiment, to break open neat compartments, stretch boundaries and take on new meanings, to remix, to attract new audiences, to ultimately provide a place for exploration.

This year the Fridge Door Gallery offers a spectrum of emerging voices that will come together on March 25th- an event that will ultimately define the movement itself.

Submit! Participate! Attend!

Call for Submissions deadline: March 1st 2010
Please send jpeg images of your art (or proposals) to: fridgedoorgallery@gmail.com
Be sure to include: artist name, title, medium, dimensions and an artist statement as well as your major/year.

Inside the Fridge

It's official!

The executive team of the Fridge Door Gallery will be presenting a selection of our art work for the first time ever this coming Thursday, January 14th at Nota Bene Papeterie (3416 avenue Du Parc).

The vernissage will be open from 5-9 pm that night, however the art work will be staying up for a while, in case you can't make it to the opening night.

Although the Fridge Door Gallery showcases student art twice a year, the executive members do not submit their work. This is our chance to show you our art, as we are continuously privileged in viewing yours. We hope that you enjoy the show!
