CALL FOR ARTISTS

Submissions are invited for an exhibition of contemporary illustration scheduled to take place at the Milkwood Gallery in Cardiff, Wales, during the first two weeks of November 2010.

Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ book of Imaginary Beings artists are invited to submit work that depicts those creatures that have been conceived through time and space by the human imagination.

A monster is no more than a combination of parts of real beings, and the possibilities of permutation border on the infinite… and in this way it seems we could evolve an endless variety of monsters – combinations of fishes, birds, and reptiles, limited only by our own boredom or disgust.- Borges & Martinez, The Book of Imaginary Beings, 1957

The deadline for submissions is Tuesday 21 September 2010

Artists will be notified as to whether their submission is successful by Friday 1 October 2010.

Submissions should be emailed to exhibitions[a]eye-sore.co.uk no later than Tuesday 21 September 2010 and contain:

Up to 3 images of your work (which should be saved as .jpg or .pdf files and be no larger than 1mb).
A statement which identifies and contextualises your work (minimum 50 words).
A concise artist CV.
*Please note that there is no submission fee but those artists who are selected will be expected to pay a £10.00 administrative charge to assist with the operational costs of the gallery.

CALL FOR ENTRIES

The Caseroom Press is calling for entries for a future publication and Anthology of Typewriter Art. All work produced on, with or by typewriters is eligible for entry in the book. Info : info@the-case.co.uk / www.the-case.co.uk/Typewriter.html

PEEP! QUARTERLY A new publication of art and writing. Open submission. No poetry. The intention is to distribute it internationally, to create a community on paper. First issue due February 2008. Each issue will be black and white, colour cover, free inserts/gifts. The initial run is expected to be 200 copies and ideally we want to double that with each subsequent issue. We have no funding, this is all self-published. We do plan to sell the publication and any profit is going to be put back into the project and the PEEP! gallery. All mail art will be shown at PEEP! gallery in 2008:
