Submissions are now open for Recession Art’s Spring 2012 group show, Everything is Index, Nothing is History.  We are accepting submissions of artwork in all media at recessionartshows.com/submit.

Everything is Index is an exhibition about writing and interpreting history, specifically constrasting histories written through language with histories inscribed on the physical world. An “index” may be a footprint, a scar, a photograph – a document pointing to a moment in time. Everything is Index is an exhibition about how we experience the world as an accumulation of physical traces.  Of special interest are works that engage in alternative modes of writing, framing, and interpreting history, and works that question how we determine truth and veracity.  Artists are encouraged to address topics such as archive, information systems, story telling, the natural sciences, and photography.

The deadline for submissions is March 2nd,  Artists will be notified of acceptance by April 6th. Visit recessionartshows.com/submit to read the complete show description, terms and conditions, and to access the application.
