Call for Artists: Spell of the Senses

Venue: 1131 Mission Street

Root Division invites artists working in all media to submit work for Spell of the Senses to be presented at Root Division in April 2020

Presented in conjunction with TASTE, Root Division's annual culinary event, Spell of the Senses will feature artists whose work focuses on the activation of one or more of the five major physical inputs: touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste. 

Senses act as the first layer of perception and connection to our environment and one another. Works presented will include a range of materiality and sensory activations to reimagine how the senses inform how we understand our own realities. Artists working in all visual mediums are encouraged to apply. 

Curated by Jasmine Bode + Michelle Mansour, this group exhibition will highlight artists that incorporates activiation and participatory experience as a key element of their creative process.
