Description
Transforming the Prototype: 2
Baltimore Jewelry Center, Montgomery College, and Towson University invite students, alumni, emerging and established artists to apply for the second edition of the group exhibition, Transforming the Prototype. Participants are asked to reimagine a selection of traditional waxes by radically altering provided vintage wax patterns. Participants will receive a collection of waxes (rings, pendants, parts and pieces) which they will transform through additive or subtractive processes. The objective is to radically reimagine the prototype wax pattern into a bespoke object(s) or jewelry. Participants can integrate new components using wax and have the new jewelry/object cast; have the waxes cast as is and alter it with soldering, sawing, adding stones, etc. or a combination of these processes.
Participants may submit their completed works via this application to be considered for an exhibition that will be hosted by the Baltimore Jewelry Center from May 31-July 16, 2024. The deadline for the exhibition application is 11:59 pm on May 1st, 2024. The application has a fee of $25.Application Requirements: Applicants may submit up to two pieces, with two images per piece if desired. In addition to images, title, dimensions, and materials applicants are asked to submit a Brief Artist Statement (which may be included in exhibition guide) 700 characters (100 - 140 words) as well as a specific descriptions about the piece or pieces they are submitting (which may be included in the exhibition guide) also limited to 700 characters (100-140 words).
