Open Call: THE FRAME

Carbondale, United States
SIU NEW FRAME
Deadline: September 1, 2026

About This Opportunity

THE FRAME can facilitate an encounter with the visible world in a new light. It’s capable of separating the imaginary and the real. Throughout history, our view has been framed by many things including windows, doors, and borders. Since the Renaissance, artists have used the frame to enhance the realism of an object, embellish or add richness and decoration. THE FRAME can separate the inward from external surroundings and act as a barrier, protector, divider, border or casing between two spaces. THE FRAME referring to the body can be a physical or mental construct and hold a particular mindset or perspective.
