There are no girls on the internet - Call for Women Artists

www.localhost.gallery

Localhost Gallery   /   Deadline: 05/31/17

The Rules of the Internet were developed by an anonymous group of men more than 10 years ago. The list includes rules which deny females their internet presence. According to the rules, a person claiming to be a female is likely a male seeking attention. Another rule requires women to prove their gender by sharing a photograph of their naked body. These de facto internet rules continue to reinforce the gender politics and the male-dominant structure that we face daily, and must fight to change.

For this exhibition, Localhost is inviting a group of female artists to work with esteemed juror, Melissa Spitz, to create a collaborative exhibition confronting The Rules of the Internet. Because Localhost is rebuilt for each exhibition, the space can be customized from the ground up. We are looking for artists who want to work collaboratively with a small team to realize a powerful exhibition from start to finish. We are looking for artists using any and all mediums, 2d and 3d.
