About
Submit original works about scale, largeness, and vastness in any traditional or non-traditional genre and media.
Overview
Manifest, a Cincinnati-based non-profit arts organization and gallery, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works about scale, largeness, and vastness, both formal and conceptual. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media.
Theme
What is the smallest you've ever felt? Given that we perceive everything through the senses of our own bodies, it takes a lot to pull us out of ourselves, to decenter our particular perceptions from the middle of the universe. The views of earth from space and the scattering of galaxies in deep-field images may be the most significant illustrations of our smallness in the face of everything that exists. Scaling down then to our comprehension of largeness and smallness, we understand that our reaction to scale is caused by our perception of it. Physical scale inspires feelings of both protection and megalophobia. Perceptual scale permits us to take a long view of things, while also challenging our egos. Things of great scale humble us. They also inspire awe.
Awards
