EMERGENCY5 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

 

aspex is seeking artists for EMERGENCY⁵ -  the biennial open submission programme now in its fifth year which specifically aims to promote the work of emerging artists to a wider audience.  So if you're at an early stage in your career as an artist or perhaps in the final year of your studies then why not consider entering?  There's no theme, you can be working in any medium and you have until Monday 1 August to apply.  The lucky winner will be offered a solo exhibition at aspex with a £1000 fee plus a £1000 production budget.  

This year's selection panel is made up of: Ivan Morison, artist; Julia Alvarez, Director, Bearspace; Margot Heller, Director, South London Gallery and Joanne Bushnell, Director, aspex.  They will select up to 12 artists for a group show in September and then from this shortlist they will choose the overall winner.  Previous winners have been Karin Kihlberg & Reuben Henry, 2010; Cathy Ward & Eric Wright, 2008; Tim Machin, 2006; and Susan Collis, 2004.

So what are you waiting for?  Download all the information you need at www.aspex.org.uk and good luck!
