Teen Council’s 14th Biennial Exhibition
About
Contemporary Arts Museum Houston’s Teen Council is pleased to organize a group exhibition featuring work by Houston-area teens. This is the 14th iteration of the biennial exhibition and also honors Teen Council’s 25th anniversary year.
Teen Council is seeking works from Houston-area teens on the subject of consumption and its effects on our selves, teens, publics, and the planet. Of particular interest includes consumption as practices and impulses of physical, material, and digital intake/absorption/expansion; as reflective of one’s identity; and responsive to the greater schemes of technology, consumerism, capitalism, exploitation, waste, war, the body, the self, digital-physical landscape, and climate emergency.
Drawing from an open call for submissions, Teen Council will select work that effectively responds to these questions:
- What is the line between product and person?
- What are you consuming? Is it consuming you?
- When does consumption cross the line between want and need?
The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, December 3, 2024 at 11:59PM (Central Standard Time). Submissions are accepted through our Submittable link. All media will be considered, including, but not limited to, 2D, 3D, sound, performance, archival, conceptual, video and new media work. Artists with work accepted will receive final notification by January 2025
