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.

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.
