SOLO 2012 Competition
SOLO 2012 IS NOW CLOSED
Deadline for SOLO 2012 Competition: October 1, 2011
Juror: Jen Mergel, Senior Curator of Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
SOLO 2012 awards two solo exhibitions, all expenses paid, to two New England artists who have not previously had a solo show in a commercial gallery (group shows, universities, libraries, etc. do not disqualify).
Finalists will bring 3-5 pieces of artwork to the gallery for review in mid-November.
Winners will be posted on the Bromfield website on December 1.
The two winning exhibitions will be held in January, 2012.
Thanks to the 152 artists who submitted their work. Jen was very impressed with the range and quality, and was grateful to become exposed to the wealth of contemporary art-making in New England.
Winners
Johnathan Derry
Alison Kotin
Johnathan's exhibition of sculptures, "I've Been Again," is comprised of a set of objects that have the hallmarks of a Totem disassembled on the floor, which need the viewer to act as an anthropologist to transcribe their significance.
Alison's show, "Listen Close," presents tactile new media works that explore narrative, performance, and musical composition, including touch- and motion-activated music and story interfaces.
