On March 20th twohundredfiftysixcolors and TAGTEAM are organizing an event at the MCA Chicago celebrating the animated GIF, and we’re inviting you to participate.
The event, titled Downcast Eyes, will be a user-generated ad-hoc exhibition inside the museum presenting hundreds of GIFs in all their flickering glory.
There are a few procedural criteria for the exhibition (see below), but in general there are no restrictions on what you can present. Simply show up at the MCA with your laptop fully charged and your screen curated with original or found animated GIFs.
We are specifically asking you to contribute your artistic voice to help anchor the exhibition which will then evolve into an open call to the public.
We’ve invited a wide range of artists to participate, calling on the diverse talent that exist in Chicago to represent the larger, but no less dynamic, energy that exists online.
With this in mind, pass this invitation along to others who would make a valuable contribution.
More info about the event can be found on the MCA’s website. Please RSVP if you can participate and/or if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you and your charged up laptops at the MCA in March.
