Call for Submissions

Unauthorized

(Swainsboro, GA) - Gallery RFD seeks submissions for its upcoming exhibition titled Unauthorized.

When works by the graffiti artist Banksy began to be retouched by city council members in the UK to conserve them from, other offending "tags"  placed on top of his, the world of the Graffiti book earned a new chapter. After the same artist armed only with a fake beard, extra strength glue and a trench coat walked into four of New York's most prestigious museums and placed his own work on the walls; artist the world over had a new sense of power.  Why are we waiting to put our work in a museum?

Unauthorized is a call for intelligent works of art that don't wait, works or documentation of acts created without permission.  Gallery RFD seeks works which engage or interact with its surroundings despite laws or authorities who say it shouldn't.  No permission, no problem.

Submission deadline: Friday, Jan. 2, 2009, 4 p.m. (EST)
Juror: Wendy DesChene, Auburn University.

Exhibition runs Feb. 14, 2009 - March 7, 2009
Opening Reception: Feb. 14, 2009, 5-8 p.m.

Further details and prospectus available on the Gallery RFD website: www.galleryrfd.org
