Fellow twitter artists.

It's my pleasure to introduce a new and exiting art project: A real life Twitter art exhibit. The first exhibit was announced October 21, 2010, and was organized to help the Moss public library raise funds for children's books. 260 twitter artists from 24 countries participated and my kitchen was flooded with art! (see pic 1), and the event got national and local recognition in Norwegian media (TV, radio, newspapers). To read the blog post from the 1st Twitter-art-exhibit and read participating Twitter artists comments below, please visit (over 33.000 views) http://davidsandumart.posterous.com/call-for-artists-twitter-art-exhibit-in-moss

To see detailed pictures of individual cards, see: http://davidsandumart.posterous.com/100-close-up-photos-from-the-twitter-art-exhi

Through the funds raised, we were able to buy 221 new children's books (see pic 2).

Now we are doing it again for another local charity: The Women's Crisis Center in Moss, where abused women and children can get help. The center also provides a 24 hour phone-service, counseling, food and shelter etc. It but has lost a lot of funding the past year and the staff has been cut from 19 to 11. This is a very important cause, not only for the women in a crisis situation but also for their children. See their website visit at: http://www.moss.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?MId1=5277&AId=2515

The main idea/vision from an artistic point, is for artists to contribute postcard sized, hand painted original artwork (representing a tweet), that will be sold to raise money for the charity (and cost effective for the artists and easy to hang). The Moss public library will offer their facilities and will be open to the public (see pics 7-10). F15 - a government art organization/gallery, will provide the wall and spotlights (see pic 3). The previous exhibit wall was slightly larger (pics 4-6), but that wall was destroyed after the last exhibit, so this new wall has been offered us. The benefit of this new wall is that it will provide better lighting.

Specifics:
 
How do I sign up? Please send an e-mail to d_sandum@hotmail.com with the heading "Twitter art exhibit registration." But ultimately you sign up when your work arrives. The artwork will then be listed on this blog as having arrived, and then handed to the person in charge of printing the labels with your information that will be placed next to the card on the wall. Follow this blog to see if your card has arrived (below). Please sign up to follow this blog for updates and RT's.

How many cards will be accepted? According to my calculations there is room for about 160 cards on this wall, maybe more. The goal of the first exhibit was 140 (symbolic of 140 characters), but we ended up with 260 cards from 24 countries. If we get the same response as last time, I will probably alter the exhibit after 1 month, as the exhibit duration will be 2 months. Please understand that the wall will be a piece of art itself, and that I will need to evaluate which cards will look good next to each other. I hope no one will be offended by the placing of the cards. To see pics from the first exhibit, see: http://davidsandumart.posterous.com/100-close-up-photos-from-the-twitter-art-exhi

*Note: I cannot guarantee the cards that arrive late will be included.

From all the world! It is my vision to get twitter artists from as many countries as possible. Last time we had artists from 24 countries, but there were were few Asian and African artists, so I'd love to get more of them aboard! One of the most amazing aspects of the exhibit for the audience, is to walk around and see where there artists come from.

Size: As the wall itself is a piece of art, it is important that the cards are close to each other in size. This is also important for fitting the most amount of cards. The maximum size allowed is 16 x 12 cm (6.3 x 4.7 inches). Smaller versions are fine (and actually appreciated), as long as they are "postcard size."
  
Materials for card: The artwork should resemble a postcard and not be too thick (canvas, plates, wood etc). Thick or good quality watercolor paper is preferred, thin cardboard ok. But not sketch paper or print paper. Each card must not be any kind of replication (computer print), but original, and hand signed.
