This expansive show will include paintings, assemblages, sculptures, and drawings created in response to two collections of short poems by the Italian writer Eugenio Montale: Mediterraneo and Ossi di Seppia.

Relative Positions

Astrology themed community art showcase organized and curated by Miriam Julianna in Washington D.C. 

This year's theme is “Postcards”. You are asked to submit two postcards- one to your future self and one to your past self. Please think about your relationship to your sun sign as you make your work. I will display all work based on our birth dates (ignoring birth years). Your work will be displayed anonymously and not be marked as for sale. Instead the postcards will be mailed to other participants according to our relative positions to each other. 

It is open to all artists, made possible by word of mouth, the internet, and the postal system. Follow the curator on IG at @Miriam.Julianna and this project at @Relative_Positions
