Manifest is now accepting submissions for:
Resistance to Vision: Searching, Sifting, Finding, Seeing
Guest curated by Dana Saulnier, Associate Professor, Miami University
Deadline for submissions - October 3, 2007
Creative work is often ninety percent not seeing what one hopes to see. Rejection and destruction accompany the fragmentary and ambiguous episodes of seeing, that are the constant companions of the instincts, intuitions, and insights born of creative actions. This is true of many different processes of visual art from naturalism to abstraction. Naturalism is haunted by the plenitude of vision whereas abstraction frequently sets out to make visible, or generate, what is not yet seen. We seek work that makes visible an active process of seeing and making as necessary to its aesthetic. We are hoping to see work where searching and sifting, "seeing in" and "seeing as" are the visible givens of creative dialogue.
