For over a century, artists have been incorporating movement into art – to explore the possibilities of movement, to introduce the notion of time, and to bring a different kind of life and energy to art.
The Cultural Center of Cape Cod, a non-profit arts organization located in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to the "Kinetic" exhibition.

Cannibals of Love, curated by Ejecta Projects
On display April 1 – May 20, 2023
Cannibals of Love takes as its inspiration the romantic comedy genre in film and television – the “Rom Com” – to “cast” an exhibition that explores themes of love and humor.
This is an open-call. Visual artists are invited to submit works of art that are inspired by, critique, or reflect notions of heartache, summer flings, awkward love triangles, unlikely couples, one-night stands, unrequited loves, the “meet cute,” or other tropes of Rom Coms. More specifically, submitted works will explore romance and/or humor in relation to cinematically-scaled stories of pathos and eros.
Although the prompt might at first appear to engage with light-hearted frivolities, the curators seek a nuanced survey of contemporary artistic responses to love and power, as well as a diverse examination of relationships and romance. With the mention of cannibals in its title, the exhibition also welcomes investigations about the intersections of desire, appetites, and other perceived taboos and “improper” behaviors largely absent from or suppressed by Hollywood and Hallmark. Moreover, the curators invite critical approaches to the conventional heteronormativity, pervasive whiteness, and gender politics of the film genre.
Ultimately, the artists in the exhibition, selected for their range of perspectives, identities and works across visual media, will provide viewers with new and inclusive insights into the shared human impulses to love and laugh.
Other visual or experiential “cues” that the curators imagine could be pertinent include: period drama, summer blockbuster, forbidden love, unlikely pairings, doubts at the altar, attention-grabbing movie trailers, sequels, and celebrity, among others.
Open to all visual media, including film/video and text.
