Kristy Quarto "A Decision Period"

Artist: Kristy Quarto
Title: "A Decision Period"
Size: 8"x8"
Medium: Oil on Board

"The Last Supper Festival celebrates the gravity of vision and human beings. The purpose of the Last Supper Festival is to secure the flexibility within us as our surroundings rear us. The Last Supper Festival is a compassion/ an intelligent celebration/ cheering for all creation."
"These are experiments in superimposing/ illustrations of the separable halo that obscures the donner’s day. These are illustrations of Western psychiatric definitions/ tenders of a backwards ideology. They function as a part of The Last Supper Festival as re-enforcements of the great cycle that exchanges endless light with eccentricities to further understanding." -Kristy Quarto

Curation

Curation: Thematically, films and artwork may be of any genre and medium while loosely interpreting the title of the festival. Although dogmatic in its title, the festival does not pursue religious subject matter, but merely offers a Western metaphor for the celebration of change, and the gathering of ideas. Previous submissions drew from comedy, tragedy, drama, animation, artistic, video art, and documentary motifs, but are not limited to these categories. In short, the call for entries seeks to expose up-and-coming filmmakers, artists, and animators to a creative audience of peers. Thirteen films will be chosen, along with thirteen artworks. All art submissions will be shown "as is", i.e., paintings, photographs, and sculpture displays should be pre-framed and prepared by the artist. Dimensions for artworks should not be more than four feet wide and six feet high. Films must be 15 minutes and under, with a one minute minimum. The due date for artworks and films is September 1st. Films may be snail or e-mailed, but will be compiled on a single DVD for final projection. Please include a brief artist's statement, narrative of film/artwork, and a short description of how the film/artwork interprets the festival's theme. Artists please attach a jpeg image of the artwork, and a headshot in jpeg format. Directors, please attach a jpeg still from the film, along with a jpeg headshot. Please provide both DVD and Mini-DV format for films.
