Call for Artists

OPEN CALL FOR ESSAYS, POEMS, AND OTHER WRITINGS

Open call for works in writing that address queer performativity & corporalities. As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Bar Riots, El Sotano Art Space invites New York based writers, poets and artist to submit work that engages with the concepts of queer revolutions. The purpose of this exhibition is to vocalize and show the different ways in which queer communities and queer individuals enact resistance, revolution and rebellion; from their own corporality, individual and community actions, materialities and performativity. Thinking of Queer Revolutions as something that starts in the viscera, sweats through the skin and filters into the streets.

Artists will be given the opportunity to perform a live reading of their piece on July 12th.

Send all submissions to elsotanoartspace [op] gmail [punt] com

OPEN CALL FOR NYC FILMMAKERS

El Sotano Art Space invites NYC filmmakers to send their work to be shown in our summer show “Queer Revolutions, The Body as Terrain for Insurrection”.

This open call is directed towards queer artist of all walks of life that live in NYC. We are looking for works that address queer issues related to riots, revolutions, manifestations and revolts. These riots can be actual riots (such as StoneWall or the Compton Cafeteria Riots) or revolutions that begin within oneself. The revolution begins in our own body and our own corporalities.

Considering the first terrain that we inhabit to be our bodies and from this point all actions that seek revolution and to revolt part from. Thinking of the body as a place where one inhabits and insurrection permeates, the body acts as a terrain where resistance leaves its mark.

The purpose of this exhibition is to vocalize and show the different ways in which queer communities and queer individuals enact resistance, revolution and rebellion; from their own corporality, individual and community actions, materialities and performativity. Thinking of queer Revolutions as something that starts in the viscera, sweats through the skin and filters into the streets.

Suburbs: border places surrounding the city, external boudaries, perimeters. We use to think as suburbs like something that stands alongside, outside the centre, that stands altrove (italian for “elsewhere”). Actually they’re often places of our daily routine: they’re the places of home, in which we live our intimacy, outside of the ever moving, never resting, urban jungle. It is for this reason, and because of their decentered position, that the suburbs might end up being overlooked, silently sitting out of the spotlight, overshadowed by the pulsating professional, cultural and artistic heart of the city.

Suburbs: fields and factories, industrial and craft areas, but also residential areas; grey, tall and bare buildings, fancy and refined townhouses or terraced house.

Today suburb isn’t suburb anymore, but suburbs, a place no longer defined by a single shape, by the border’s or the edge’s pattern, but a multi-faceted, fluid and ever changing place.
