CITIZEN
Painting, Print & Drawing exhibition
tactileBOSCH Gallery & Studios, Cardiff
1st – 23rd May 2010
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Submission deadline: 25th March
Painting, Printmaking and Drawing has developed dramatically over the last century as artists continually redefine and reinterpret the three mediums, exercising new approaches to form and subject matter that in turn breeds fresh stylistic interpretation. This continued
evolution has meant that these three age-old mediums are as relevant as ever, with there now existing almost as many aesthetic styles and conceptual approaches as there are practitioners.
CITIZEN is the 2010 instalment of tactileBOSCH Gallery & Studios annual painting, print and drawing showcase. The exhibition will consist of new work by both local and international artists and be a testament to the continued strength, vitality, relevance and diversification within the three mediums.
The judging panel, which will consist of the galleries four board members, will be looking for submissions from artists of all levels and will select work that shows an innovative and imaginative approach to each practice. Both artists who deal with their chosen medium in a traditional style and those who exploit and augment traditional notions into three-dimensional and performance works are welcome to submit work.
Since opening its doors in June 2000 in a converted 200-year-old former laundry, tactileBOSCH Gallery & Studios has developed into one of the main players in the Welsh Arts scene with an impressive back catalogue and experimental approach.
Spread over three buildings the galleries vision is to bring a selection of established international artists to the Welsh capitol as well as provide a platform for emerging local talent to showcase their practice. As an alternate gallery space, tactileBOSCH is adaptable, almost chameleonic in its nature. The vast, naturally lit space transforms to adopt the character of each show and puts no parameters on the placement of the work, giving the artists the opportunity to exhibit and experiment in a way that is not always possible within a more traditional gallery or theatre structure. This ability to transform itself has resulted in a living, breathing environment, capable of producing an innovatory dialogue between artist, curator, gallery and audience.
