CALL TO ARTISTS
Danger- Construction Area- Keep Out
Eligibility: Open to all artists 18 and over. All art must be ready to display.
An open call exhibition about breaking through barriers both external and internal
Much of Staten Island is under construction, the ubiquitous "Danger" sign ever present in our day to day lives. So much of it is out of our control, as we continually are faced with construction and destruction of our environment. How can we, as a community of artists, respond to these boundaries? Art Lab invites you to share your response to these impositions.

Subject Matter: Danger, Construction Area, Keep Out.
Danger: What does it mean to you? How do you tell someone through images that they - or you - are in danger? What does it look like when we aid each other in dangerous situations? Stand together? Keep one another safe?
Construction Area: Is there anything in your personal life under construction - literally or figuratively? In your environment? How does this impede your journey? What does it say about your neighborhood, your country, the world?
Keep Out: What lines are you forbidden to cross? What public and private barriers have you come upon in your own life? They can have a personal as well as a global impact. Who creates these barriers- how do we overcome them.
