Expressions of interest for
contemporary textile artists to exhibit in the UK.
Seeking artists whose work brings
an innovative and challenging approach to their textile based art practice and
whose work shows the best in contemporary fibre, thread, fabric and cloth from
New Zealand to take part in an exhibition at the Knitting and Stitching Show,
the definitive and best public textile show in the UK and Ireland, travelling
between London, Dublin and Harrogate during October and November. In addition
to international exposure, there is also potential for selling work, though
this is never guaranteed.
The project is coordinated and
curated by Alysn Midgelow-Marsden (textile artist) and Arts Council Nelson.
We need you to send:
A brief CV,
An artist statement,
Images of up to 10 works which
are representative of your work. Please make clear whether the works shown are
the actual works for selection or whether, if selected, you would be making new
work for the exhibition.
Include dimensions,
approximate weight and hanging method for each work.
There may be transport costs
involved, however we are currently seeking funding to assist with this and
therefore at this stage, expressions of serious interest for selection are
being called for without final commitment.
Send information by email to alysnmm@gmail.com. Maximum attachment size
10MB.
Deadline for information: 15th February 2015
