Digital Pocket Gallery - call for July exhibition

June 23, 2002

Type: discussion

dear rhizomers,
I'd like invite you personally, on behalf of the Digital Pocket Crew, to
submit work for the July exhibition at the Digital Pocket Gallery.
Although some artists on the list have already taken part, I know quite a
few of you have yet to turn out your pockets for us (I know who you
are…:-)) The Digital Pocket Gallery has recently been involved in the
Free Manifesta, featured in [a-n] (British art magazine) and received
positive reviews and publicity on and offline and is basically very cool.
Please see the latest call below for guidelines and submit to:
[email protected]
Cheers,
jess.

Call To Artists: Extended Deadline
The curators of the Digital Pocket Gallery have been so pleased with
the amount and the quality of work that has been submitted that we
have decided to extend the deadline for submissions to July 31, 2002.
This will allow us to continue our policy of publishing all pieces and
highlighting a few works each month that we feel are particularly strong
as curators selections

Pockets contain miniature biographies and testaments to our lives and
forgotten stories. The crumpled train ticket speaks of journeys taken,
the handful of confetti in your 'best' jacket of a wedding years before or
the telephone number on the back of a matchbook given by a someone
who's name and face is long forgotten. Files and folders are the 'digital
pockets' of the internet artist. The hard-drive is an autobiography in
coded form. Dreams, ideas and waste lie hidden in these cryptically
labelled pockets that have become the maps and landscapes of our
virtual lives.

We invite you to empty your digital pockets for inspection (whether real
or fictitious) for an online exhibition at
http://www.ikatun.com/digitalpocketgallery/
