The works featured in this exhibit, and their curation, will reflect ideals of simplicity, clarity and decisiveness. Accepting submissions in any and all media, works that embody a minimalist aesthetic, emphasizing the subtle complexities that comprise or implicate anything that may appear simple, as well as the boldness of something pure and potent.<\/p>\n<p><em>The exhibit will consider questions like<strong>:<\/strong><\/em> Can anything truly be simple? What\u2019s the relationship between our perceptions of order and chaos versus true physical entropy and synchronicity? What is the relationship between understanding, simplicity, clarity, decision, and action? What gets lost in our attempts to strive for simple answers? What is the relationship between process and product in art?<\/p>\n<p><em>* Projector and dedicated screens available for displaying video work<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>* Plinths and shelves available for displaying sculptural work<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0If you wish to submit, please include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to <strong>5 Photos<\/strong> or up to <strong>2 videos<\/strong>of your work\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Titled: FULLNAME_TITLE_SIZE_MEDIUM_DATE<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>A brief <strong>artist bio<\/strong>\/<strong>statement<\/strong> &#8211; up to 200 words<\/li>\n<li>Contact information \u2013 including <strong>phone number<\/strong> and <strong>website\/blog <\/strong><strong>to: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"mailto:submissions@projectgallerytoronto.com\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">submissions@projectgallerytoronto.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><strong>\u00a0 by February 5<sup>th<\/sup> 2014 <\/strong>(quoting \u2018CLARITY\u2019 in the email subject)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>APERTURE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Exhibition dates:<\/strong> February 27<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 March 5<sup>th<\/sup>, 2014<br \/>\n<strong>Opening Reception:<\/strong> Thursday, February 27<sup>th<\/sup> 7 &#8211; 11 p.m.<br \/>\n<strong>Deadline for Submissions:<\/strong>\u00a0 February 19<sup>th<\/sup>, 2014<\/p>\n<p>APERTURE is an optics based contemporary art exhibit that emphasizes the power of perspective. The word \u2018aperture\u2019 in Optics refers to the hole through which light and image travel. In this sense we explore photography, images and visual artworks in their ability to capture a moment and perspective and relay it to others, opening a hole that shares a glimpse of one person\u2019s perspective to another. In Geometry the word \u2018aperture\u2019 is the inclination of lines, which meet in a point. This is also interesting in terms of artist\u2019s assemblage of seemingly disparate information, objects or settings and uniting them in one frame as a cohesive, or sometimes in cohesive, perspective.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We are looking for works that employ, represent, explore and consider unique, alternative and unconventional perspectives. This may be in terms of literal perspective, focal points, composition, palette etc.<\/p>\n<p><em>* Projector and dedicated screens available for displaying video work<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>* Plinths and shelves available for displaying sculptural work<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>* Printing and photographic documentation services available<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0If you wish to submit, please include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to <strong>6 Photos<\/strong> or up to <strong>3 videos<\/strong>of your work\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Titled: FULLNAME_TITLE_SIZE_MEDIUM_DATE<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>A brief <strong>artist bio<\/strong>\/<strong>statement<\/strong> &#8211; up to 200 words<\/li>\n<li>Contact information \u2013 including <strong>phone number<\/strong> and <strong>website\/blog <\/strong><strong>to:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"mailto:submissions@projectgallerytoronto.com\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">submissions@projectgallerytoronto.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 by Feb 19<sup>th<\/sup> 2014 <\/strong>(quoting \u2018APERTURE in the email subject)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Artists accepted to thise exhibits will contribute a nominal 50-125$ hanging\/exhibition fee, with 20-40% commission going to the gallery.
