blot: a juried exhibition

Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: Berry College
Deadline: Mon, August 27th, 2018

The Berry Coilege Moon Gallery welcomes submissions to a juried exhibition, blot, marking the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. blot will feature work in a range of media by artists who are grappling with issues raised by Shelley’s novel. Steven J. Kraftchick outlines several of these issues in his essay, “Who is a Monster, When?” published in 2018, by focusing on fundamental questions of identity, such as beauty and ugliness, true representation, the boundaries of good, and responsibility for our creations. The title comes from Frankenstein’s Creature wrestling with his identity in chapter 13: “Was I, then, a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?"  Dr. Kraftchick is Professor of the Practice of New Testament Interpretation in the Candler School of Theology and Graduate Division of Religion at Emory University and will determine the work to be included in the exhibition. In addition to his research on Pauline thought and language theory, he is exploring the transhuman and its connection with theology and technology. More information and a link to submit materials can be found here: https://www.berry.edu/juriedexhibition/
