HOTEL DRAWINGS - UK
Mail-Art Opportunity - Hotel Drawings
Are you an artist, curator or creative practitioner who travels—either for your work, or for pleasure? Or do you make work about travel, transience, stationary or the ephemeral?
Inspired loosely by the nomadic German artist Martin Kippenberger’s ‘Hotel Drawings’, 20-21 Visual arts Centre in Scunthorpe UK is seeking artwork on (real or imaginary/imagined) mono-graphed hotel note paper, or small works on paper, that use Kippenberger's drawings and the artist's transient lifestyle as inspiration or point of departure.
The work can be as detailed or ephemeral as you choose; notes, doodles, sketches - they can relate to a place you have stayed, your reason for being there, your practice, or quite frankly whatever you choose.
We anticipate works being unframed and on paper, sized A4 or smaller. A maximum of three works can be submitted per artist.
We aim to include everything that is submitted, however anything deemed offensive, unsuitable for our visitors, or straying too far from the brief may not be included.
This is a mail-art style project and there is no fee available for appearing in this exhibition - however we will aim to return all artworks to the artists after the close of the exhibition if a return address is provided.
Exhibition dates: 13 January to 24 March 2018. Full documentation will be posted online.
Deadline 9 January 2018.
All work should be mailed to Dominic Mason, 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, Church Square, Scunthorpe, United Kingdom DN15 6TB to arrive before 9 January 2018—and include any relevant information (artist name, return address, title etc).

Long Live the Arts - UK
The ART has changed its styles, significance, and meaning
so many times throughout the history, but it has always been a constant part of
humanity and the lives of people. Everybody enjoys the ART - commons and
royals, children and adults, blue collars and white collars - the art should
not know any borders, limits or restrictions. The ART is capable to fit into
any shape and form, to fulfil any expectation, to adapt to be understandable
to all and to be enigmatic and mysterious. The ART has a duty to enhance the
reality, to see the beauty, to recognise diversity, to provoke our
thoughts, to call for a rebellion, to punch and shake us.
Please give your view of the art and send us your MAIL ART.
Theme: Long Live The Art!
Technique: Any
Format: please choose A6 (10cm X 15cm), A5 (15cm X 21cm) or A4 (21cm X 29cm), if possible.
No entry fee, no returns, all mail art will be exhibited. Racist, violent and pornographic artworks will not be exhibited.

Post–truth - UK
Introduction:
The
Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year is a word or expression chosen to reflect the
passing year in language.
Post-truth has been nominated as the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year
2016 and is an adjective defined as ‘relating to or denoting circumstances in
which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals
to emotion and personal belief’.
Other words which were shortlisted
were,
‘adulting noun, informal
The practice of behaving in a way characteristic
of a responsible adult, especially the accomplishment of mundane but necessary
tasks.’,
‘alt-right noun
An ideological grouping associated
with extreme conservative or reactionary viewpoints, characterized by a
rejection of mainstream politics and by the use of online media to disseminate
deliberately controversial content.’,
‘Brexiteer noun, informal
A person who is in favour of the
United Kingdom withdrawing from the European Union.’,
‘coulrophobia noun Extreme or
irrational fear of clowns’,
‘glass cliff noun
Used with reference to a situation
in which a woman or member of a minority group ascends to a leadership position
in challenging circumstances where the risk of failure is high.’
‘woke adjective, US informal
[originally
in African-American usage] Alert to injustice in society, especially racism.’
Project
Brief:
It is
clear that this selection of words represent a certain mood within society both
within Europe and America, and is a representation of the increased sense of
unease in the world.
The
question for this Mail-Art project is what does the word ‘Post-truth’
represent?
