THE 11TH A.I.R. GALLERY BIENNIAL: A Juried Exhibition Open to All Women Artists

DEADLINE: May 30, 2014


Apply Early and save!

After April 30th, the submission fee will raise from $35 to $40.


Juror: Nancy Princenthal: Critic, former Senior Editor of Art in America, NYC.


Making and Taking: "Pictures" Reconsidered

A mutual interest linking painting and photography is as old as cameras. Lately, under the digital regime, it has taken a number of new turns. It may be that women have a particular stake in this relationship between the handmade and the mechanically or electronically produced, as between the provinces of subjective and commercial expression. To test that proposition, we are calling for submissions by artists who are investigating the intersection of hand produced and photographic pictures.

Nancy Princenthal is a New York-based critic and former Senior Editor of Art in America, for which she continues to write regularly; other publications to which she has contributed include Artforum, Parkett, the Village Voice, and the New York Times. Her monograph on Hannah Wilke was published by Prestel in 2010; she has also written essays for monographs on Michelle Stuart, Shirin Neshat, Doris Salcedo, Robert Mangold and Alfredo Jaar, among others. She is a co-author of two recent books on leading women artists, including The Reckoning: Women Artists of the New Millennium (Prestel, fall 2013). At present Princenthal is writing a book about Agnes Martin. She has taught at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; Princeton University; Yale University, RISD, Montclair State University and she is currently on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts.
