Drawing Exhibition- Open submission

We invite you to submit artwork for the second RPN initiated exhibition following on from the ‘Reflective Stories’ project that took place Nov - Dec 2008 at the Holden Gallery MMU.  This second exhibition will take place in the autumn term 2009 (venue TBC) and we are inviting submissions from all ages and disciplines. We expect the exhibition to bring together examples of work from school-children, students from FE and HE, research students and professional practitioners in art, design, media and other related subject areas.  Following the exhibition copies of the work will then be held as part of our archive of visual resources (similar to the sketchbook archive that resulted from the ‘Reflective Stories’ exhibition). 

Submission Details Create a drawing that responds to one of the following:   How can/does the artists practice respond, mirror or compare to the formal structure of an essay?  Essay Structure

OR  Choose a short piece of text and create a visual response to this text. This may be a preferable option for schools who are submitting a number of works. Please supply an example of the text alongside the submitted work.

Although the final submitted pieces of work can be in any medium the work submitted should be defined as a drawing - we are however open to varying definitions of what constitutes a drawing. You can submit up to 4 pieces of work (any size) per individual. Schools and colleges should submit up to 4 pieces per student. Photographic copies of the work will be displayed in the exhibition - to ensure continuity please only send actual work rather than copies. Please include with your submission
