Open Call 2024: I’ve Been Wrong Before
Waterfall Arts 2024 Open Call for Art Submissions: I’ve Been Wrong Before, a fall exhibition curated by Annika Earley.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
“I’ve Been Wrong Before” celebrates work about revisiting or revising an idea either through form or content. The creative process is a process in constant flux: ideas return or are reiterated, forms morph in new and surprising ways, and processes can be cyclical. Have you returned to a subject after a long absence? Did you unexpectedly change your mind after learning something new? Does your process include revisions, erasures, or occlusions?
This open call seeks artwork that explores changing one’s mind, asks the audience to reconsider preconceived notions, or centers on revising/revisiting a previous idea or belief. The work should clearly address themes of revision, reiteration, or reconsideration in either concept or form.

Annika Earley is an artist based in Belfast, Maine. She makes intimate works on paper about her alter-ego/fairy godmother/personal demon named Batshit. Her work considers the demands and joys of motherhood, sensuality and sexuality, gender, and pre-teen nostalgia. She often uses German fairy and folk tales and Spice Girls lyrics as reference points in her work.

She has been a resident at the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation in Rockland, ME, Hewnoaks Artist Colony in Lovell, ME, Monson Arts in Monson, ME, Pace House Residency in Stonington, ME, and the Walkaway House in North Adams, MA. She has been supported by the St. Botolph Foundation in Boston, MA, the New York Foundation for the Arts, The Albert K, Murray Fund, and SPACE Gallery’s American Rescue Plan Grant. Earley’s work is in the collections of the University of Southern Maine and the College of the Atlantic and has been most recently exhibited at Field Projects in New York, NY.
