OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:

A new Newcastle-based art exhibition opportunity coming for 2017, looking for submissions around queering minimalism.

We are looking for work exploring ideas of queerness/gender variation through minimalist/abstract aesthetics, reclaiming that language from the machismo and brash heterosexuality with which it has been historically associated.  

Email up to 5 photographs of existing work, or a short written proposal, alongside a short piece of text explaining the pieces and how they relate to the exhibition theme, to [email protected]

Deadline: February 28th 2017.

NB: Work in any medium is welcome, including performance, audio/video and text, alongside traditional media.

Submissions from artists anywhere in the world are welcome and encouraged, but be advised that work will have to be delivered to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (UK) if the artist is not local.

‘You’re Reading Into It’ brings together bodies of work by seven emerging LGBTQ+ artists, curated by artist Oliver Doe. The work focuses on queer readings of Minimalist art and portrayals of LGBTQ+ experience through a minimal abstract lens. Seeking to challenge the machismo often associated with Minimalist art and reclaim a queerness in that visual language, ‘You’re Reading Into It’ highlights the importance of queer and radical feminist issues in the development of contemporary art.

Just five days to go! You’re Reading Into It is my first major curatorial project, supported by Arts Council England, Albert Kennedy Trust and Northern Pride. We have some amazing artists in this show, and it’ll be a fantastic spectacle!

Posters for You’re Reading It are on order!
