IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL ARTISTS TAKING PART 

 THEME

All artists need to ensure that the works they are displaying are related to the theme .

 THE EXHIBITION THEME

 

We believe that the body in any size or shape is in the beauty of the beholder,. Each image and art pieces when looked at by the viewer may reflect their own lifestyles, their own intimacy, isolations, rigidity, they will look at the nude form reliving and remembering how that roll is in their life, these art pieces will be very confrontational, These imageries may make them want to create a change by confronting the purpose and issues instead of ignoring it. I feel that these art works will open people’s eyes to the real world around themselves, it will build scope and confidence that they never thought existed, it will force them to acknowledge how they view themselves and make changes. As only the individual being can do that.

 

Our work will shed light on people’s feelings concerning sexualities as an aesthetic rather than a threat; this practical work is based on our views of our approach from our side. To do a art that has the power to affect both male and female its a sort of therapy that makes one remember a certain time in their life.. To sum up that feeling that could explain how they felt at that time while they are viewing these art pieces, does it empower them or threatens who they are.  Most artist works comes in the form of written poetries has self – expressions or paint of vivid dark or bright colours on a canvas, or a sculpture statuette form, to understand the nature of the world that they live in. Our practical art piece helps question the type of world we are a part of. And should shed some type of meaning on the central question the development of the art piece is about dis-empowering the minds of fixed sectors. The art pieces will have an aesthetic nature the art piece which will be done from our own angle and interpretations from different races from the public from females and male nudity. The reason for this type of art is that it will have a stronger representation to empower.

EXHIBITING/TAKING PART

As this is an international exhibition we understand that some of the artists who are based outside of the UK may have difficulties in regards to traveling to the UK to display their work, and may also find it costly to transport the original pieces of art from one country to another.

Alternatively we want to make sure that all artists are able to take part, so those who do reside outside of UK and that are not able to attend the exhibition can use one of the following ways to ensure their work can still be displayed

(Please note:  artists that are not able to attend, but still have thier work on display are still required to contribute to the costs of the Venue)

Section A

(Painting/Prints)

1) Artists who cannot attend can send us a print of their works that they wish to display and will be responsible for the costs to send the work as well as the costs to have their work returned to them, Artists who use this method will also be required to pay for the transportation of getting their work to the venue. If several artists use this method the costs can be split between them. We do not take any responsibility for the works while they’re in transportation. If artists do not have prints of their works and are not able to find a company that offers a printing service, they can request that we print the work for them onto canvas and the artist will be responsible for the cost of this.

2) Alternatively artists can send their original works, however we do not encourage this as the cost of sending original works is priceless. And we cannot take any responsibility for what happens to the works while they are in transportation.

Section B

(Sculptures / Other)

 

Artists who can attend the exhibition and use a different medium may wish to consider creating their works over here to save costs on transportation of their works to the UK, this especialy relates to large sculptures that are made out of a heavy substance.

Artists who cannot attend but still want to take part may need to use a different method, or have a clean picture taken of their Sculptures and use one of the options in section A.

 

PROMOTION & ADVERTISING 

It is very important for all artists to be involved in the promotion and advertising of the exhibition. This will become easier once we have a venue and set dates.

Promotion can be done in the following ways; there are also many helpful tools online that can give you information on how to promote exhibitions

1) Contacting local newspapers via email about the event and your work.

2) Placing the event online using several event listing websites & your social networking sites.

3) Informing your government body of the event.

4) Leaving information about the event in various places such as libraries, theatres, galleries.

Etc...

Artists that live outside of the UK may find it easier to advertise themselves as artists, rather than just advertising the event itself, to gain exposure.

E.g. asking your local papers to follow up on your personal journey as you take part in this event.
