Call for artists.

ART BELOW - TURNING AD SPACE INTO ART SPACE.
In an attempt to reclaim public space from the ever-reaching fingers of ad-land, ArtBelow has made it possible for artists to exhibit their works in space used normally for advertising.

It doesn’t matter if you’re an artist, art buyer, or passer by. ArtBelow is bringing art to the masses in London – and it’s underground.

And that is their motto.

I exhibited in Feb/March and Art Below are seeking more artists to submit their work for consideration for the April/May show.

Here's the details:

For two weeks in April/May the works of 25 specially selected artists will be on display in major underground stations across the capital.
'The underground is a place where many Londoners will spend part of their everyday life - we want to give the individual the opportunity to contribute to that environment' : Ben Moore

As well as giving artists access to advertising space in the underground, ArtBelow also runs an on line art gallery for all the artists who exhibit on the tube. At ArtBelow it is either possible to buy original art work or high quality poster prints of the work.

If you would like to know more about how to see your art work, words and images on a 1 metre x 1.5 metre poster in a major tube station then visit the artbelow website and fill in the on line application form.

The next campaign is due to begin in late April / early May.

London calling - help wanted

Big day for me today. (UPDATED with latest project details)

Its the day a huge poster made from one of my works will be going up in the London Undergound as part of an ongoing art initiative from Art Below.

This poster is 1 metre x 1.5 metres and various sizes are available to buy from the Art Below website as well.

I am hoping to get down to London to see it next week, as I want to collect as many photos as I can of the poster in situ. Why?
Well, I have this idea for a national project in mind - I don't want to give away too many details just yet - but I need as many photos as people are willing to send of themselves in front of the poster. You can email me them (suecook@picturedreams.co.uk) or message them to me by mobile (email to ask for my number)...I don't mind which.

Promise to reveal more later but it would be really cool to get as many different people young or old in front of this poster. And everyone who sends me a photo will get credit in the piece when its completed.

Please help me if you can....

You'll find my poster at Vauxhall Tube station Platform 2 Southbound.

EDITED TO ADD: The poster is up until March 12th so please send me your snapshots as soon as you can!

Thanks. x
