Nature NOW! Opportunity for artists

Nature NOW! is an exhibition of work from a range of artists and designers.

Our aim is to make a wide ranging discussion on the state of ‘framed nature’ in our current western, urban landscape– How can the city be put to use, in terms of production, cultivation, independence and survival. What are the implications to our society and culture based on attempts to return the city to fields.

“We walk through our streets and cities and do not howl with shame at such deserts ofnature now 150x150 Nature NOW! Opportunity for artists ugliness! Let us be quite clear: these grey, hollow, spiritless mock-ups, in which we live and work, will be shameful evidence for posterity of the spiritual descent into hell of our generation”

We are looking for works (architecture, installation, furniture, machines, guides, explorations, experiments, writing, film etc) that set to discuss our relationships with the natural in a western urban landscape.

Please send PDFs/URLs/Images & a brief text.

Deadline: 20th August 2011
Exhibition times: 17th Sepember – 25th September

The Door Prize – For Painting

Untitled

The Door Prize is an art competition exclusively for painters, providing a unique and affordable opportunity for both students and practicing artists to exhibit their work in a major exhibition in the UK.

The voluntarily run project, directed by Antria Pelekanou (co-director of ‘Persona Art Festival’ and chief curator of ‘A Moving Exhibition’) will run from 3-17 March 2012 at the Nails Gallery in Bristol city centre. The initiative of this project is to enhance the experience of Bristol’s residents and visitors,  building on Bristol’s reputation as a cultural and creative city. 

With leading institutions such as Spike Island and Arnolfini boosting Bristol’s art scene, we aim to invite artists from all over the globe to visit Bristol, showcase their artwork, and further enhance the vibrant scene the city has to offer.  There are many free annual cultural events held in Bristol such as the Bristol Balloon Festival, BrisFest and Open Studios at Jamaica Street Artists to name a few.  We believe that The Door Prize will be a great addition to the calendar, providing the public with an exciting opportunity to getUntitled4 300x234 The Door Prize For Painting involved with the arts.  All visitors to The Door Prize group exhibition will be encouraged to vote for their favourite painting on the opening, guaranteeing an engaging and entertaining experience.

The works will be selected by a combination of the judging panel and the public vote.  The winner of The Door Prize will receive an award specially commissioned from London based artist Desiree Ickerodt, and a Solo exhibition.  Along with the prestige of being the winner of the first Door Prize, the winner will also be given a rare opportunity to become actively involved in the judging process of The Door Prize 2013.  In addition to the winner, there will be two runners up who will both receive a free designed publication including a selected part of their portfolio. 

In a celebration of painting as one of the most recognised and respected art forms, the competition opens the Door to the public and there can only be one winner.
