TEN BY TEN, Edition Two
Initiating a new program as an arena for social exchange in March 2007
Ten by Ten, the portfolio exhibition from LAXART and Uber.com, launched in February 2007 as a new venue for creators and consumers of contemporary art. This March sees the second edition of Ten by Ten and the extension of its core ideology into a cluster of new programs under the rubric of Uber Art.
Ten by Ten is a departure from conventional art discourse. Its a monthly dialogue wherein artists throw open the doors to their virtual portfolio of work and our writers take it in, producing commentaries that open poetic new perspectives and provide critical insight into the connotative and denotative layers of meaning found within. Its an opportunity for anyone to find exposure to new art that they can comment on directly, or add to the collection of videos, personal photography and visual links in their own Uber portfolio.
This March Ten by Ten contributor and Los Angeles-based art critic Shana Nys Dambrot joins Uber Art as a blogger and commentator. Well be debuting more programs over the course of the month and throughout 2007 that offer writers, artists, curators and spectators the chance to access art and be included in the process of creation, proliferation and consumption.
Ten by Ten is an open call, but there’s only one way to be considered: Join Uber.com, add LAXART as a friend and submit your portfolio for the exhibition.
The second edition of Ten by Ten includes reviews and reflection on a new class of emerging talent in the fields of drawing, sculpture, painting and video art.
