Free Exhibit: Shelley's Ghost: The Afterlife of a Poet in NYC Through June 24, 2012

Free Exhibit: Shelley’s Ghost: The Afterlife of a Poet Through June 24, Gallery Hours — Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III Gallery, Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, 5th Ave. at 42nd St., New York City

For the first time ever, selections from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein manuscript are available for public viewing in the United States in this exciting exhibition, which is being shown in collaboration with the Bodleian Library at Oxford University in England and highlights the literary and cultural legacy of Percy Bysshe and Mary Shelley, and that of her parents, William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft. Using manuscripts, books and relics, the exhibition will tell the truly remarkable – and sometimes salacious – tale of this extraordinary circle of people, complete with wild romances, tragic deaths, exile, revolution and landmark literary accomplishments. The artifacts being shown come from both The New York Public Library’s Pforzheimer Collection of Shelley and His Circle and The Bodleian. The collections of the two institutions encompass close to 90 percent of all known surviving Shelley manuscripts, and much of the material being shown has never been seen by the general public in the United States before. Materials from the Bodleian haven’t traveled to the United States for more than 50 years, so this exhibition is truly a rare opportunity to see collections that embody a history of literary Romanticism in Britain and the United States. The exhibition offers a lens through which to see that history.

Artist Sought for Book Cover Sketch --Respond by 2/10/12

Artist Sought for Book Cover Sketch

In June 2012, the History Press will be publishing my third book, The Razing of Tinton Falls, a fictionalization of the June 1779 Revolutionary War raid in which Loyalists attacked the village of Tinton Falls, kidnapped its leading citizens, and burned much of the village.

The publisher and I are seeking the services of an artist to develop a sketch for the book's cover, likely depicting a burning house or a small village in ruins. The History Press will compensate the artist upon acceptance of the sketch. I will provide necessary background information to the selected artist.

If interested, please respond by February 10 with a work sample (PDF file or link), a professional reference, and compensation requirements. You are welcome to share this solicitation.

Call for Artists -- Humor in Art, Watchung Arts Center, Deadline: Aug.15, 2011

Call for Artists – Humor in Art     Curator: Jim Fuess www.jimfuessart.com who is a member of the www.newartgroup.com who curate shows at the Watchung Arts Center www.watchungarts.org . Venue: The Watchung Arts Center is a multi use arts facility with an upper and lower art gallery. We also present quality works in fine arts, exciting music, and comedy show events as well as classes in drawing, photography, and yoga. This means that a large number of people see the art shows. The basics: All works must be hand delivered. The work must hang on the wall. No work larger than 36 inches in any dimension. The works are NOT insured. No nudity. 30% commission. We will ask each accepted artist who is included in the show to donate a hanging fee of $35.00 to the Arts Center to cover expenses. The Gallery: The upper gallery where this show will be held is 30x40 feet with 12 foot ceilings, track lighting, and a Walker hanging system. Your show will open at the same time as that of the lower gallery. Curator Statement: I am looking for art that is humorous. That being said I am not looking for a one joke piece. I am looking for images and ideas that will linger with the viewer. Weird, strange and bizarre are welcome. The gallery is 30x40. I will choose at least 8 artists. I prefer a series of works or a narrative rather than disconnected pieces. If your layout or hanging is complicated I may ask you to hang your work. The presentation doesn’t have to be linear. The work can be eight feet up or a foot off the floor. Send a series of works that will loosely fit a 15-20 foot wall space, at a low resolution to [email protected] . You may add any statement or explanation you want to. As with most curated shows the work that is sent in sometimes determines what the show looks like. So everything above may change. I expect a lot of rabbits. I hope to have a fun and disturbing show. Thanks. Jim   Jim Fuess www.jimfuessart.com [email protected]   Dates: Entries due: August 15 Work that is sent in early will get more consideration than work that is sent on the last day. Notification: Soon after August 15 Delivery: August 29-31 Show dates: September 1-24 Reception: September 11 1-4 pm Take down: September 24
