CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ‘emotional baggage’
WHAT: I need YOUR help! I am looking for a list of your ‘emotional
baggage’ that you carry with you…it can be from your past, past
relationships, current relationships, friends, family - whatever as
long as you don’t name names and keep it anonymous.
WHY: I am creating an artwork that will be in a work of art in the
exhibition NO FIXED ADDRESS….part of suitcase art galleries, a DDJV
Art Project (collaboration of Hamilton Artists Jessica Vellenga and
Douglas Drake).
ABOUT: MY list of emotional baggage along with yours will be used to
decorate the suitcase. I need the list or issues to be completely
anonymous, that way no one gets hurt and you get to vent guilt free.
Basically this suitcase is literally a way to get rid of your ‘excess
baggage’ metaphorically and allow others to empathize with general
issues that may affect them too, allowing the viewer some sense of
consolation that they are not alone with their problems.
