OPEN CALL: Anti-matters
Antimatter is matter composed of the antiparticles (or “partners”) of the corresponding particles of “ordinary” matter. Anti-matters features works loosely related to science fiction, that are de-materialized, unfinished, craft, idea, belief, or cultural object from the future. This show will bring opposition to the fetishization of “fine art” and asks “What matters most to us that is left out of the art gallery capitalist bargain but most important to our current society?” The gallery will make space for the futures projects, and to bring artists together within the Mason Gross community who imagine imminent worlds that expand out of our current political system. Sci-fi and themes of futurism opens possibilities based in the future that embodies art for culture’s sake. Art for belief.

Submissions are limited to 5 images per artist. Images should be sized at 2000px on the long side, 72 DPI. If selected and necessary, artists will be asked to provide higher resolution images. Please create a zip file with your image files, and a list of works including your name, title, date, and size. Be sure to include your name in the title of the zip file as well.
Upload your materials to: https://masongrossgalleries.rutgers.edu/upload/

Submissions are due Monday, November 30 at 11:59pm.

Due to the size of the exhibition, we will try our best to take all artist who apply.
