Juror Jefferson Pinder

Acceptable Works: All media including video and new media. Work installed in the gallery must fit through standard double doors, 8H x 6W. All work must be ready for installation with proper hanging devices if needed and instructions where necessary.
Described by the juror, Jefferson Pinder, "Humor is one of the best tools to open dialogue about heavy issues...For this exhibition, artists are asked to use irony, sarcasm, and wit to shed light on issues of personal struggle in mainstream society. Artists are asked to create and share work that challenges historical, societal, and cultural norms that dictate expectations of who we are supposed to be. The selected work does not have to be funny as much as insightful."
