TSGNY Small Works at 2016 Korea Bojagi Forum (KBF)
Further Instructions for Exhibiting Artists
Chunghie Lee, international fiber artist, has invited TSGNY members to participate in an exhibition of small works in conjunction with the 2016 Korea Bojagi Forum in Suwon, South Korea. The exhibition will be on view during the forum (September 1-5, 2016) and for about two weeks at a second venue (to be announced) in Seoul.
A full color catalog representing each exhibitor’s work will be published. At the last Bojagi Forum in 2014, 1500 visitors viewed the exhibition. The exhibition will be under supervision at all times.
Bojagi refers to traditional Korean wrapping cloth created from scraps pieced together. Work for the exhibition need not include the patchwork process used in bojagi but should in some way relate to scraps, recycling/upcycling, or accumulation.
Work will not be juried, but must conform to these requirements.
1. 2-D work, unframed
2. Size: 12” x 12”
3. Red as a prominent color
4. Preparation for hanging — e.g., an unseen loop on the back, a lightweight rod, etc.
1. On back of artwork(s) — labeled, stitched, bonded or attached in some other way that is secure:
- Your name
- Title of artwork (30 character limit)
- Email address or postal address
2. On the back also, please indicate the top of the work with an arrow pointing UP.
