Call for Artists: SIMMER

Root Division invites artists working in all media to submit work for SIMMER to be presented at Root Division in April 2018. 

Presented in conjunction with TASTE, Root Division's annual culinary event, SIMMER will feature artists whose process welcomes and embraces slowness. Much like the "slow food movement" of the culinary world, the artists are informed by durational, emergent, intimate and heavily-driven practices that are both subtle and visceral. SIMMER will exhibit work that refelcts this methodology resulting in different outcomes ranging from sound installation, performance, charcoal drawings, heavily layered figurative painting and more. 

This call for entries is meant to complete a show that currently includes the work of Anne Albagli, Brad Brown, Hunter Franks, Masako Miyazaki, Harriet Poznansky and Minji Sohn. 

SIMMER is curated by Samantha Reynolds, Root Division's Exhibitions Fellow.
