"ZOOM" - If our visual perception is changing ...
Our View is based on the recording and processing of visual stimuli, in
recognition of elements and their interpretation by comparison with memory.
The selection of relevant information and it's perception takes place through
the functions of the eye and brain. During this process of allocation, perception
happens: the object is placed in a specific known category. If the recognition of
objects shifts through drastic changes such as enlargement, reduction, change
of perspective, etc. It is no longer possible to assume what we see is
representational, and imagination and fantasy takes over.
By this transformation and change, the association of the viewer has nothing to do with the object.
The participants are called to reflect the theme "Zoom - if our visual perception is changing ..." in their TEXTILE WORKS.
Creativity, innovative techniques and materials as well as professional design are the criteria for the selection of the works.
Eligibility and Guidelines
The competition is open to all artists residing in Europe.
Each participant may submit up to two works. Please use a separate form for each piece.
The submitted work must meet the basic definition of an art quilt: made of flexible materials, layered and stitched.
The work should measure 90 cm high x 60 cm wide (with 5 % tolerance) and not be older than two years.
Only wall pieces are accepted. Three-dimensional and framed works can unfortunately not be included. The art works should be able to be rolled up for easy transport.
