RAINBOW MERCHANT
Curated by Patrick Michalopoulos
Deadline: Tuesday 10th March 2015
Application fee: £15
RAINBOW MERCHANT invites artists to submit work that considers ideas of self-organisation, utopia and the real versus the imagined; contemporary art as a space for optimised thinking and envisioning. In a conceptual transaction the real and the imagined are tested through ideas of the body, language and models for living. Fictional creatures perform political interventions; inhabiting old and new worlds they are projected and inscribed onto visions of the contemporary. RAINBOW MERCHANT encompasses the self as we know it as well as the phantom of our future selves in a world of decipherment, reflection and possibility.
