Siglio Press: Call for Submissions, women artists and writers



Siglio Press is looking for innovative image + text works by women artists and writers for a new anthology. Here’s what they have to say:

We are looking for a wide range of image+text work: including—but definitely not limited to—comics and graphic narratives, collage, photo+text works, drawings, text driven by typographical play, altered bookpages/environments, etc. We are most interested in work that plays with new taxonomies, reinvents narrative forms, investigates language, disrupts paradigms, creates unsettling, illuminating juxtapositions, spills over in excess, creates multiples strands of conversation and meaning, and/or is uncontainable in any single medium.

GUIDELINES:

Submit 1 - 12 pages for consideration.

It may be one complete work, a small, coherent collection of single works, or an excerpt from a longer work so long as it needs no introduction or explanation.

The work must reproduce well as line art or b/w half-tones. Preference is given to works originally intended for print, created as 2-D works, or works whose end-product are photographic documents.

Works may have been previously published so long as the author/artist retains the copyright.

Please include full contact information and a short bio in your email.

DEADLINE: JUNE 15

Submit PDF to publisher@sigliopress.com.

LOSINGYOURSELF.COM

LOSINGYOURSELF.COM is a virtual platform and blogspace for U.S. based women (and women-identified) artists, curators and art professionals exploring issues of identity and subjectivity in the 21st century. We invite postings that engage the title’s theme of a “loss of self” from any perspective, but are especially interested in projects that address the intersection of new media technologies and gendered subjectivity.

This site also serves as a “call for participation” for the exhibition. Losing Yourself in the 21st Century, to take place in fall 2009 at the Welch School Gallery, Georgia State University, Atlanta. This exhibition will feature time-based, interactive, and performative work by emerging U.S. women artists. Go to www.losingyourself.com for more information.
