Curated by Michael Workman/Antidote Projects
EXHIBITION STATEMENT
“Fascism … also stands for an ideal or rather ideals that are persistent today under the other banners: the ideal of life as art, the cult of beauty, the fetishism of courage, the dissolution of alienation in ecstatic feelings of community; the repudiation of the intellect; the family of man (under the parenthood of leaders).” –Susan Sontag, Fascinating Fascism
This exhibition interrogates the seductiveness and glamour of evil. Evil, after all, is adept at projecting a certain kind of charm. We cherish the antics of our TV and motion picture villains in all their insouciant brutality and eroticized violence. But evil can also exert a subtle charm in the allure of its ability to feign a release from life’s problems. Accepting the Faustian bargain of evil offerings requires a willingness to enter into a complicity with that evil, and to sacrifice the ideals of the “good life” that we aspire to. It is arguable that consenting to evil is always an intimate choice, with the goal of manipulating its victims into rejecting their own self-worth and, in consequence, to giving away control over the direction of their own life-course, now subsumed in service to evil. This can take place on the level of an intimate personal relationship, as in the instance of a rakish seduction, or on the level of an entire culture, as the history of fascism has shown.
Borrowing from a diverse range of artists from Filippo Marinetti, Rirkrit Tiranamija, Yves Klein and Wyndham Lewis, the exhibition space will be converted into a domestic backdrop against which objects, activities and more will form a totalized artistic environment. Visitors will be invited to interact with this environment while performances are conducted in the manner of a teatro totale. The question of the allure of evil will be interrogated both in objects that compose the environment, in performances both interactive with the audience, and in those acted out as if no audience were present. Video documentation of these performances will be presented following their presentation, and presented thereafter as a documentary component of the exhibition.
ABOUT ANTIDOTE PROJECTS
ANTIDOTE is a roving, independent curatorial and exhibition platform co-founded by Michael Workman and Berlin-based sculptor Edouard Steinhauer in 2009. Conceived as an occasional project-based initiative, ANTIDOTE does not take on artists for career representation, preferring instead a collaborative approach to the cultivation of unconventional formal approaches to audience engagement. ANTIDOTE serves as an independent curatorial platform to advocate for and disseminate the works of underrepresented artists, specifically through special presentations and exhibitions at art fairs, publications, educational programming, and other nontraditional forms of curatorial programming, with an aim to exploring unorthodox distribution systems for disseminating artist’s works. ANTIDOTE only showcases artists who have been carefully selected for visual work that consistently centers on the development of intricate imaginative world or system-based constructions, dematerialization of traditional forms, and/or whose work otherwise counters the purely object-based approach to art-making. As such, often these artists have been overlooked by the art world, since their approach often problematizes the conventions of or confounds audience expectations surrounding the industry’s cultivated preference for traditional object-based modes.

Animal Facts, Fairy Tales and Fictions
Call Type: Exhibitions
Deadline Type: fixed
Deadline: 3/5/2012
Eligibility: Chicago

From the past to the present, there has always been an astounding diversity of life on our planet with so many unique animals. Their spirits and unique characteristics, such as horns, tails, feathers, and scales, provide endless inspiration to artists. These animals are depicted in art in their truest forms as well as thorough our incredibly imaginative spirit.
Animals take on many meanings in our lives, from the years of the zodiac to the spirits of totem poles. We associate with their characteristics, such as their speed, strength, agility, and keen senses of perception. As we associate with their characteristics and combine them, new animals are imagined like dragons, unicorns, harpies, and griffins. Animals appear in our stories and fairy tales like Alice in Wonderland, Where the Wild Things Are, and The Cat in the Hat. The rich history of animals represented in mythologies and folktales is endless. These animals awaken our creative spirit and feed our imagination.
This regional exhibition, juried by Kate Sprengnether, will explore a wide range of animal depictions in art. We'll see how artists continue to draw from past stories as well as create new narratives as characters in their art take on animal traits, and new creatures are imagined.

Call for Artists // I CAN DO THAT
I CAN DO THAT
Call Type: Exhibitions
Deadline Type: fixed
Deadline: 3/5/2012
Eligibility: Chicago
Suburbs
Illinois
National
International
“I can do that.” –Everyone, ever.
Ahhh, the four most frequently uttered words in the art world. Commonly the cause of much frustration and eye-rolling among artists, art historians, and art lovers, this [occasionally hubristic, occasionally accurate] assertion is usually countered with the retort, “But you didn’t do it.” Oftentimes, it is the concept behind a work of art that lends that work significance and meaning. Other times, some art really does suck.
What if we give you, o’ self-appointed art critic, the opportunity to play an active role in creating the kind of work that you so vocally long to see?
I CAN DO THAT is independent curator Jenny Lam’s highly anticipated follow-up to last fall’s acclaimed Exquisite Corpse show. At the exhibition, in front of each piece will be the art supplies the show’s artists used to create their respective works. With these supplies:
Exhibition visitors will be invited to “improve” some of the artwork as they see fit, directly applying medium to the work itself. This could mean anything from dotting one small corrective brushstroke to smearing paint all over and slashing the canvas. Each subsequent visitor is encouraged to make further changes. Consequently, the exhibition will constantly be in flux. There will be photo and video documentation of this continuous evolution.
In front of other artwork will be blank canvases—or whatever foundation the artist used—for visitors to replicate the pieces.
Next to all artwork will be blank sheets of paper for visitors to compile their own artist statements and insights.
Exhibition opening: Friday, April 13, 2012
Exhibition closing: Friday, April 27, 2012
at Variable Space (1564 N. Damen at Milwaukee, Chicago)

JUROR
Dawn Emerson earned her BA from Brown University in English/Art in 1977. She made a living after college as a graphic designer for 10 years, then started teaching art to children in public and private schools after moving westward in 1987. Though Dawn had drawn all her life, and studied brush painting from an early age, her ambition at that point was not on becoming a fine artist, but on teaching. After moving to Oregon in 1991, Dawn became a full time artist in residence for schools throughout Central Oregon, teaching multicultural arts, design, and drawing.
Though she continued teaching children k-12 for 5 years while raising her two children, Dawn began taking workshops for pastel. After that, pastel became a passion, and Dawn quickly began winning major awards, and soon earned status as a signature member with the Pastel Society of America, the Pastel Society of the West Coast, the Association of Equine Artists, and as an associate member of the Society for Animal Artists.
Dawn's work has been featured in numerous journals and texts over the years. She has been included in museum shows around the country focussed on birds and animals, and has been invited to jury numerous shows in Idaho and Oregon. Dawn was privileged to judge The Artists Magazine animal category in 2011, and the animal category in the annual Pastel Journal's Pastel 100.
Dawn has become known for her creative and inspiring approach to teaching drawing and pastel workshops. The passion for energy and movement that is alive in her paintings are part of her who she is as a teacher. When she is not preparing for shows or teaching at the community college in Central Oregon, Dawn works at the local printmaking studio doing monotypes. Though pastel is her primary medium, more and more of her work includes mixed media. While her subjects include mostly the figure, landscape, and animals, all subjects are exciting to her, and her work spans realism through abstraction.

14th Annual Art on the Streets
International Deadline: March 6, 2012 - In its fourteenth year, AOTS is a yearlong venue to showcase the works of new as well as celebrated artists from across the nation while enlivening the Downtown Colorado Springs cityscape and urban experience.
Selected artwork will be exhibited throughout the 40-square-block downtown district, with the majority of pieces clustered in the busiest 10 to 15 block core.
While sculpture tends to dominate the entry pool, other types of public art suitable for outdoor display are highly encouraged. Large-scale, outside-the-box, can't-be-missed pieces are desirable. The only common denominator among selected works is the durability, safety and quality of the art.
A color brochure of the AOTS exhibit - including photos of the artwork, artists' biographies and a walking tour map - will be produced and released through the Downtown Partnership, Community Ventures, Inc., Convention & Visitors Bureau, Chamber of Commerce, Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Pikes Peak Library District and numerous downtown businesses. It will also be available online.
SELECTION & AWARDS
Total number of selected pieces depends on the scope and quality of entries; however, approximately 8-12 pieces typically make up the show. Jurors Kathy Loo and Jim Raughton will announce all of the selections and personally introduce the award winners at the June 15, 2012 opening reception. The exhibit will run through May of 2013.
First Prize $15,000
Second Prize $7,500
Third Prize $2,500
Plus $400 honoraria to each artist for installation assistance and two nights complementary lodging per artist for attendance at VIP party and opening reception.
JUROR
Community Ventures is pleased to announce that Kathy Loo and Jim Raughton will co-juror the Downtown Colorado Springs 2012 Art on the Streets exhibition for a second consecutive year. These prominent supporters, patrons and collectors of art will select the works to comprise the fourteenth year-long exhibition.
Kathy Loo is a highly regarded civic leader and philanthropist, who co-chaired the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center's recent capital campaign that made possible the spectacular addition to the original John Gaw Meem building.
