Description

The Katonah Museum of Art invites submissions for Cladogram: KMA International Juried Biennial, June 28 – October 4, 2020. The exhibition, juried by Yasmeen Siddiqui, will bring together visual artists, sound artists, book artists, craft-based artists, poets and authors whose work explores connections between the past and present. This includes, but is not limited to, work that:

Engages with personal or family history
Examines the idea and form of the archive, or the ways in which historical objects and ideas are organized, categorized, and displayed
Borrows from the history of art
Challenges the dominant narrative of (art) history and questions what and who that history includes and excludes
With Cladogram: KMA International Juried Biennial, the KMA seeks to present a broad range of contemporary work created by artists based locally, regionally, and globally. In doing so, the Museum hopes to build networks of artists around the world. Awards will be granted to the top three submissions.
