DEMOCRACY: NOW accepting submissions

DEMOCRACY: NOW accepting submissions
In the interim for the resurrection of the systems, ideologies and morals of the American identity there is a call for the reimaining of the American Artist. There is a job description that has never been written without compromising the title of “Artist” to human resource scrutiny. There is a void in society that is echoed in every state, city, and community. Some artists have strayed under the risk of poverty and others have developed careers out of their fine art degrees for the greater consumer good of the American dream.
There are bands of Artists whose calling have gone unredeemed by the lack of opportunity to contribute to culture without a marketable appeal. Artist in small towns as in big cities have been lead to interrogate the nature of their visions and contributions in the absence of a corporate title or a barista’s apron.
Today from the echoes of burst bubbles there is a call of arms to the American Artist. There is corner office vacant for the cultural engineers to build bridges from the media hype to the reality of communities depraved of meaning. There are men in ties sobering from their high who’s killer instincts need to be tamed to build a new foundation in the forth dimension. The Artist is a preordained leader with the qualifications of vision and the skill set to execute the collective dream that is being drafted from the round tables of occupied cities. There is no deadline, submissions are always accepted, but the need is abundant, we are looking for Artist to lead the way to rebuild this fatherless county.

Australian Stencil Art Prize - 2011 Winner

Australian Stencil Art Prize - 2011 Winner
www.australianstencilartprize.com
23rd Key takes out the Australian Stencil Art Prize with Roller Derby portrait.
Melbourne artist 23rd Key has won the 2011 Australian Stencil Art Prize with her detailed stencil ‘Game Face’, winning a $2000 cash prize.
23rd Key’s winning work will exhibit alongside 45 other finalist artworks in the Australian Stencil Art Prize Exhibition from the 4 November - 11 December on Cockatoo Island. The Exhibition forms part of the Outpost Project program of events. Outpost Project is a 5 week long urban arts festiva, the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.
“We were delighted to be invited to participate in the Outpost Project” says Jacinta Walpole. Director of the Australian Stencil Art Prize. “The level of exposure that Outpost Project offers our finalists is unprecedented.” All artworks, excluding the winning artwork, are for sale via the website www.australianstencilartprize.com.
The winning stencil is based on a photo taken by Jesse ‘Manuel Exposure’ Booher at the Great Southern Slam (Roller Derby) tournament in 2010. The portrait features one of the Victorian Roller Derby Leagues fiercest jammers, Kittie Von Krusher.
Kittie has ‘by far the most intimidating game face you’ll ever see’, says 23rd Key who is also a roller derby player.
23rd Key began her foray into stencil art in 2005, and has spent most of her time bent over a table cutting stencils ever since. With a background in printmaking and audio engineering, she is now in her second year of a graphic design degree, and is working to further develop her photo-realistic style. 23rd Key takes no short cuts, spending up to 6 months on any one piece. She hand carves each doily-like layer, and her attention to detail is fast becoming a trademark of her work.
The 2011 judging panel consisted of internationally acclaimed graffiti artist Phibs (Melbourne Sydney), Tugi from Mays Lane Project (Sydney) and Edwina Corlette from Edwina Corlette Gallery (Brisbane).
23rd Key was a finalist in 2010 and 2009, with her work featuring on 20,000 postcards nationally in 2009 in a special prize sponsored by Avant Card.

Within the last 2 years, more then 40,000 visitors came to see artists and galleries from all over der world.
