Call for Entries/Open Call

Seton Hall University’s Walsh Gallery is currently soliciting submissions for a group thematic exhibition, Eye Tricks, to be shown November 12th through December 15th, 2007. Open to all artists working in any media, this exhibition will include art that seeks to fool the eye through any number of illusory means including (but not limited to); holograms, tessellations, op-art, mirrors, lenses, zoetropes, ambigrams, stereograms, lenticulars, flip-books, lights, diachronic technologies, nanoart, prisms, spinners, motorized sculpture, etc. The curators are especially interested in video art, sculpture and non-traditional media. The exhibition will focus on the intersection of art and science, elucidating how the artistic illusions function on a scientific level, while remaining accessible to those without a background in science.
