San Jose ICA Seeks Rejection
Artist Nomi Talisman in collaboration with Dee Hibbert-Jones
It’s Not Us, It’s You is an exhibition that explores the inevitability of rejection in our lives – a timely topic in today’s woeful economic climate. The show opens at the ICA on April 3rd. Through a tragic and sometimes heartbreaking lens, the artists in this exhibition respond to the reality of rejection with subversion, self-reflection, humor and brutal honesty.
As part of It’s Not Us, It’s You, guest curator and artist Ray Beldner is compiling a book of artist rejection letters. Artists are invited to send their rejection letters via email to info@sjica.org with “FOR REJECTION SHOW” in the subject by March 28. The ICA promises that no entries will be rejected for this project.

A long time ago I got a rejection notice from a small literary magazine signed by Raymond Carver himself. I’ve saved it all these years cause it represents the high water mark of my career as a short story writer.
