The Bakehouse Art Complex announces a Call to Artists for ¡SIN!
All media welcome
¡SIN! is a national juried exhibition of original work inspired by a traditional concept of human
transgressions. Lust, envy, gluttony, sloth, greed, wrath and pride have had an enormous impact on the
moral compass of the modern world. With many different interpretations and understandings, each
individual sin has been explored and exposed numerous times.
The Bakehouse Art Complex located in the Wynwood Arts Disctrict, Miami FL is announcing a Call to
Artists for ¡SIN! to be on view during the world renowned art fair Art Basel Miami 2010. In its 2,600
square foot gallery, the artists, chosen by a reputable panel of curators, will display their works that are
directly related to one of the deadly sins. Each of the seven sins is explored, from their origins and
nature, their opposing virtue, and their corresponding punishment through a variety of media and styles
from across the country.
Applicants will have the opportunity to present their work to a highly distinguished panel of jurors
consisting of Museum and respected Art Professionals from Miami. Each juror has chosen a specific sin,
which they will individually curate. Jury panel is listed below.
