Jury Results

To all Contributors to “Lifeforms!” –

Last Monday night, the “Lifeforms!” jury convened and selected the work for the live show. The task was a very difficult one given the high quality of the entries. If it were their choice, nearly every one of the 102 entries would have been included! But space constraints at the Hodge Gallery at the Pittsburgh Glass Center make it necessary to make difficult choices and our jury rose to the challenge.

The original premise for the live show was to exhibit the top 40 models submitted. But the choices at that cut-off point were so difficult to make that the jury agreed to expand the selection to 50.
The list of selected entries is below. If you are on the list, a contract and set of instructions for shipping your work will be sent to you next week. If you are not on the list, please take some comfort in the knowledge that your work will be displayed in the permanent online “Lifeforms!” exhibit along with every other entry.

The awards will be selected from the work at the live show the afternoon of Friday, July 5 by our four jurors, and announced at the opening that evening. You are all invited to attend.
In the coming weeks, the “Lifeforms!” web site will change into the online show. Instead of the galleries that are there now, thumbnail galleries will be set up that will show the entire entry of each participating artist including all submitted photographs, their statements and scientific reference images. These new galleries will be the permanent online show.
For everyone of you who made a model and submitted it to “Lifeforms!”, we thank you sincerely.
