Signs of Our Times
An online study of signs, especially as means of language or miscommunication
DEADLINE: September 5th, 2010 for Mobius Exhibition; no deadline for ongoing blog
An international call for 4x6 works in .jpeg format only, sent via internet to be:
1. Displayed on The Signs of Our Times blog for posterity
2. Works submitted by September 5th, 2010 (23:59 hours) will be compiled into a
yet to be determined form (slide show or video most likely)
as part of a group exhibition which will take place September 17-25, 2010
at Mobius in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
All properly formatted works will be accepted; this is not a juried show.
You may submit up to 3 works.
INTENT:
Have you ever been walking, bicycling, driving, sitting in a bus or train and suddenly seen a sign which made you do a double take? or seen a sign whose meaning escaped you or initially gave you pause and then perhaps you comprehended its meaning or didn't? or a sign which made no sense at all? or a sign that just made you laugh or cry hysterically for some unfathomable reason?
This call is about those puzzling/surreal/emotionally evocative signs of our times. "Of our times" is defined as either drawing from your own personal experience/history or the collective's present, near past or imagined future.
RULES AND REGULATIONS:
Please submit one of the following:
In essence, the actual signs may be real or something created or manipulated by you in any media but the actual work you submit must be in the form of a jpeg file sent via the internet.
SUBMIT:
Please email the following to: Jane @ mobius.org

Once I receive your submission, I will post your jpeg file and information asap on
