Deadline for submissions: February 14, 2009
All Media including video, installation, net art, performance, costume,

Queerness weaves the threads of our physical, social and moral existence
together into a multi-dimensional fabric of community and our selves.

As queer artists we continue to create complex identities and imagine new
modes of address through a myriad of queer tactics, textures and
sensibilities.

What are the threads that bind, mend and sometimes unravel this spectacular
fabric of queer art? How does this queerness operate? How does it present
itself? How do we fashion, perform, subvert or display queerness in our art
and lives?

We hope to explore these themes in art in all mediums that incorporate (in
the broadest sense of these ideas): sewing, knitting, weaving, braiding,
binding, knotting, textiles, quilting, patchwork, costuming, fashion and
fashion events, drag, second skins, performance art, woven texts, blogs,
digital networks and communities.

THREADS curatorial committee includes: Tirza Latimer, Rudy Lemcke, Matt
McKinley, Pamela Peniston, Allison Smith, and Tina Takemoto.
