Call for Artists: Submissions Sought for 2009-10
Galerie La Centrale, Montreal, QB CA Canada

Growing out of the feminist art movement and founded in 1973, La Centrale galerie Powerhouse is one of the oldest artist-run centers in Quebec. The center�s mandate expands on a history of feminist art practices and engages a broader spectrum of underrepresented artists and their initiatives within established art institutions. The gallery aims to provide a platform for contemporary art informed by feminist and gender theory, as well as intercultural and transdisciplinary practices. This involves networking and developing professional exchanges at the local, national and international levels. We promote the work of artists at all stages of their careers to allow for intergenerational dialogue. The programming and events at the gallery are a reflection of our members and their interests and involvements. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

 
 
please please me new neon work by Mary-Louise Browne
Bartley and Company Art, Auckland, NZ New Zealand (Aotearoa)

Bartley and Company Art is very pleased to be able to present this new body of work by Mary-Louise Browne as its opening exhibition in Ghuznee Street. The exhibition represents her first foray into neon. Words are the constant feature of Browne's work and with this new work she continues her exploration of the metaphoric, material and visual power of language. The use of neon for the first time brings a new dimension with the direct and playful conflation of fine and commercial art practice. The messages here, however, are not those of commercial signs but openended found texts drawn from popular culture. Please please me, for example, references The Beatles hit single and title track of their first album and Dead Calm is drawn from the movie of the same name. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
