Call For Entries
Opening Reception: October 20th, 5-7pm
Description:
By definition, framework can be voiced in a number of ways: Buildings are constructed with a skeletal structure, multiple units come together to form a whole, foundations or moral infrastructure can be defined, subjects can be arranged within a frame, and framing itself can be the emphasis. Gilded Pear Gallery seeks artist’s submissions that best exemplify the nature of Framework according to their own commentary and vocabulary.
Framework is, in part, inspired by Cedar Rapids: a small city with an incredible community that rallied around businesses and residents when flood waters threatened its established infrastructure. As an industry town it continues building, constantly restructuring, not only in its edifice but in its principles.

About the Juror:
Kristina Fjellman Kristina is an emerging visual artist and performer, and is eager to combine these passions. She has exhibited her sculptural fiber art across the Midwest and in the Twin Cities, is a 2010-2011 recipient of a Jerome Fiber Art Project Grant at the Minnesota Textile Center, and has performed with The Winding Sheet Outfit, Red Eye Theater and Sandbox Theatre. Her work with The Winding Sheet Outfit’s Theater of the Tiny Clandestines received a Knight Arts Challenge grant in 2015. Recently, the installation, Borealis, was exhibited and purchased by St. Catherine University, a retrospective of her work was exhibited in Apparent Magnetism at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA, and she had a solo exhibition Reflection and Refraction in the Atrium Gallery at The Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson, WI. Her current work incorporates light and sound through projected animation and explores how it interacts with her sculptures. Kristina is a graduate of St. Catherine University with a Master of Arts in Education in both Art and Theater Education. Currently, she is an ensemble member of Sandbox Theatre. Upcoming projects include performances in The Memory Box of the Sisters Fox with Winding Sheet Outfit for MN Fringe Festival and Sandbox Theatre’s production, Wanda Gag: In the Treetops, at Open Eye Figure Theater in October 2017. |
