RINSE/REPEAT

Aug 17-Sept 15, 2018

When does action transcend habit to become something more meaningful?  RINSE/REPEAT explores concepts of ritual or routine in creative practice, where the experience is intentional, sacred - not solely focused on the product or outcome, but on the set of actions.

Juried by Marlee Grace, an improvisational dancer best known through her Instagram account, Personal Practice where she documents her daily movement practice.

Awards:

$500 Best in Show
$200 Second Place
$100 Third Place
Two Honorable Mention awards

Submissions:

Submissions for this exhibition are accepted in any artistic discipline including performance, installation, sound or digital media, in addition to traditional modes of art-making such as painting, photography, textiles, ceramics, sculpture or mixed media. Suitable works may employ pattern, repetition, meditation, or recurring shapes or visual elements; or be multiples or part of a series. Comments on the theme could range from what is held as being most sacred, to the most mundane, trivial aspects of daily life or studio practice.
