The End of Things: Call for Entry

The Center for the Study of the End of Things, a research institute affiliated with the University of Virginia, is holding its Inaugural Symposium on Feb. 5, 2010. The location is a vacant 10,000 ft furniture store in Charlotte, VA, located at 1017 West Main St. Charlottesville, VA. Soon afterward, the building will be demolished.

Our curatorial goal is to assemble a coherent body of work that revolves around themes of obsolescence, weathering, and decay, as well as meditations on growth, rebirth, and the utility of discarded materials.

Drawings, paintings, architectural models, maps, diagrams, photographs, audio or video recordings, writing, sculpture, or other work that relates to the theme will be considered for inclusion.

Submission Deadline: 01/25/10
No application fee for students.
