Juror's Insights on Standing Out in a Juried Art Exhibition
A juror for Site: Brooklyn's exhibition "Landscape: Natural and Urban" shares observations from reviewing hundreds of artworks. The juror emphasizes that not every piece can be selected, so they rely on instinct, quality, and thematic fit. The essay highlights works by Will Rothfuss (The Texas Church Project diorama), Shelley Socolofsky (digital hand-woven pieces merging ancestral textile tech with computational systems), Filippo Brancoli Pantera (photograph blurring sea and sky), Robert Crifasi (Moon Streak series tracing the moon), Sophia Lapres (oil on aluminum), and Cindy Cowley (colored pencil desert scene). The juror also reflects on astronauts on a moon mission during the jurying process, drawing parallels between landscape art and cosmic perspectives. Practical tips for artists are behind a paywall.
