OPEN CALL FOR ENTRIES
WPA\C Experimental Media Series - ColorField Remix

*DEADLINE: Thursday, March 7, 2007 (entry received)*
*NO ENTRY FEE | NO MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED*
*KRAFT MEDIA PRIZE: $1000 Finalist | $500 Honorable Mention*

WPA\C's Experimental Media Series - ColorField Remix challenges 
artists to reinterpret the Color-Field artists with
experimental video, sound and performance pieces.  Artists are 
encouraged to create new work reinterpreting or inspired
by Color-Field artists.  The Kraft Media Prize will be awarded to one 
finalist and one honorable mention finalist, selected by
the jurors for Night 3.  Jurors will make selections based on overall 
quality and innovation as it relates to Color-Field.

 ColorField Remix, a Washington, DC citywide project, spanning the 
the spring and summer of 2007 and linking numerous
art venues, will celebrate the many legacies of the generation of 
Color Field and Washington Color School artists.
Participating venues include: The Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture 
Garden, National Gallery of Art, The Kreeger Museum,
Hemphill Fine Arts, The Katzen Center at American University, The 
Phillips Collection, for a complete list of participants and
programs (Insert website for colorfield remix here.)

The Washington Color-Field Painters rejected the notion that 
paintings could not make a statement with only color and
composition.  Artists explored the fundamental formal elements of 
abstract painting: pure, unmodulated areas of color;
flat, two-dimensional space; monumental scale; and the varying shape 
of the canvas itself.  Color-Field Artists associated
with the movement include: Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Howard 
Mehring, Thomas Downing, Paul Reed, and Gene Davis.
