SHEPARD FAIREY
AT THE ART HOTEL
|
|
Shepard Fairey was in San Francisco for an absolutely AMAZING opening at WHITE WALLS GALLERY, and he stopped by this past week to affix some art to the OUTSIDE of the Hotel des Arts.
Shepards exhbition, The Duality of Humanity, just opened at White Walls (viewable through OCTOBER 4) and it is not to be missed - it is in fact one of the best art shows we have ever seen - details below.

We intend to showcase several dozen emerging artists
from the Bay Area, and feature several hundred works
of art - filling all five floors of the ART HOTEL with
NEW ART.
Ideally, we are looking for artists who have NOT yet
shown their work extensively. We are, however, willing
to be at least somewhat flexible on this point - a few
group shows is OK, but if you have already had sold-out
solo shows internationally, and were included in the
last Whitney Biennial, NEW ART 08 is
probably not the show for you!
If you are interested in being in the NEW ART
08 exhibition, simply send us a couple jpegs
of your artwork, or a link to your website. |
 The
NEW ART 08 exhibition
is a juried art show, and the six person jury
includes:
.•
APEX - START SOMA artist in
residence
.•
VULCAN - START SOMA artist
in residence
.•
CHOR BOOGIE - START SOMA artist
in residence
.•
CASEY O'CONNELL - START SOMA
artist in residence
.•
SAMALA - START SOMA + START
MOBILE creative director
.•
JOHN DOFFING - START SOMA +
START MOBILE founder
There
are NO SUBMISSION FEES or anything of the sort.
In fact, artists who are
selected for inclusion in NEW ART 08
will keep 100% of their sales - there are NO
gallery commissions for this show.
So if you or someone that you know is an emerging
artist looking for an opportunity to show your
work publicly for the first time, by all means,
!
And while we are focusing primarily upon PAINTING,
we are nonetheless accepting submissions across
ALL media - including digital, as the hotel
now has several dozen flat panel displays.
We anticipate that NEW ART 08
will feature a few dozen artists and several
hundred pieces of art - which will completely
fill the hotel with NEW ART.
START SOMA announced NEW ART 08 a few weeks ago, and we have already received submissions from over 500 artists from around the world!
We have begun the selection process, and as
soon as the ART HOTEL is completely
full submissions will close.
If you have any questions, you can simply email
the NEW ART O8 jury via info@startsoma.com.
THANK YOU!
BY ALL MEANS, PLEASE REPOST THIS CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!

CALLING
ALL CREATORS
START SOMA IS
LOOKING FOR DIY + CRAFT VENDORS,TOO!
|
We decided to open
up EVERY room on the main floor of the art hotel for
the NEW ART 08 OPENING, and feature local artisans,
designers and DIY enthusiasts INSIDE the painted rooms.
We will be featuring several dozen local vendors - who
will also keep 100% of their sales - no gallery commissions
whatsoever.
In addition to filling all the public walls in the art
hotel with NEW ART, we intend to showcase an eclectic
assortment of local creative talent INSIDE the rooms
as well.
So if you or someone you know is a knitter or a clothing
designer or a milliner or a jewelry designer or really,
ANY sort of independent CREATOR - simply send us an
email to be considered for inclusion in the September
17, 2008 opening.
We are looking for a wonderfully eclectic mix of CREATORS
for what we hope will be the first of many such handmade
events at the Hotel des Arts.
Kindly submit information on what you would like to
include in the show to john@startmobile.com
Submissions opened a few weeks ago and will close as soon as we find a dozen particularly amazing local vendors.
CURATOR'S NOTE: we are
hoping to feature at least a couple of creators of what
could perhaps best be termed HIGH-TECH CRAFTS. So if
your work involves LEDs or circuit boards or 8-bit graphics
or re-cycled computer hardware or connects to the internet
via an 802.11 connection or you have been featured in
MAKE - please drop us an email!
BY ALL MEANS, PLEASE REPOST THIS CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!
