Not Exactly,
RedLine’s signature summer exhibition curated by Chad Kautzer and Robin Gallite, will
open on June 1, 2013. As part of the exhibition, we are inviting photographers to submit proposals
for an “Inside Out” project on the exhibition concept. We’ll be reviewing
proposals through February 22nd.
Not Exactly
is a multi-media and multi-venue reflection on the experience and social
relations of homelessness.
RedLine is a 9,000 square feet exhibition space in lower downtown Denver (http://redlineart.org/). It is physically
situated at the intersection of gentrification and service providers.
The concept of the exhibition speaks to the distinction
between the material deprivation that leads to lack of shelter, and the
deformation of social recognition that leads to an experience of homelessness.
Each is to suffer a lack produced by the same social relations, yet each has
its own logic, generates unique forms of conflict and division, and calls out
for different kinds of disruptions. As foundational to our subjectivity, social
recognition gives expression to our humanity and simultaneously situates us
within a community. Homelessness, as a form of exclusion and misrecognition, can
therefore be seen as a frustration of intimacy, equality, and sociality.
Not Exactly
seeks to challenge the politics of space both within
and beyond RedLine’s walls in ways that
encourage critical reflection for a community divided. The Inside Out Project
was founded by French artist J.R. and facilitates the production of posters for
outdoor installation. Please see the organization’s facebook page for more
details: http://www.facebook.com/#!/InsideOutProject?fref=ts
One-page proposals with no more than three accompanying
images (JPG, 72ppi) should
be emailed to curators Chad Kautzer and Robin Gallite at chadkautzer2003@yahoo.com and rgallite@redlineart.org no later than Feb. 22nd 2013. Files should be titled as
LastName_FirstName_01Title.jpg. This deadline relates to the processing time
for the wheat paste images, for more information about logistics, sizing and
framework of the images – please do visit the facebook link listed above.
Outdoor locations for this project are still to be determined, but will most
likely appear in the Downtown Denver and Five Points neighborhoods.
