Open Call 2023: WHAT WE CAN DO

126 Artist-run Gallery & Studios, Galway & Artlink, Fort Dunree, Inishowen invite submissions from Artlink Member artists for a group exhibition entitled ‘ What We Can Do  ‘, curated by Lindsay Merlihan of the 126 Gallery Board of directors, taking place at Fort Dunree from 5th August – 3rd September 2023.

Eligibility: Open to all members of Artlink at any stage of their career. There is no application fee.

Outside the box, inside our dreams, we are vortexes of imagination in perpetual motion. 

What We Can Do is about ordinary humans doing extraordinary things. The essence of our humanness is held within the We Can… so what will we do with it? 

André Breton, Gaston Bachelard and Carl Jung paved the way for valuing an imaginal life by allowing the emergent images of the unconscious psyche to disrupt the psychological architecture of normality and challenge current systems. Through dreams, reverie, and the imagination, we meet the surreal, instinctual, creative interjections that break through the matrix of mechanical limitation and remind us of our humanity.

Artists are encouraged to submit work which disrupts, excites, and envisions. What happens when we do it together? What wants to come through?

Think: radical joy, collective effervescence (i.e. the global women’s march or pride parade), moments of awe, a trick up the sleeve, resilience of the wounded, happy tears, strangers that hug, a Tom Robbins book, moments of synchronicity, surrealism, serendipity, distortion of reality, visionary artworks…or don’t think at all!

Deadline for submitting work 18th July 

All visual art forms considered including but not limited to painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, artist books, film.  We are also able to consider outdoor work.

You may submit up to 3 works for consideration in your submission using the google form here.

By submitting your works for the members exhibition please note that you are responsible for insurance of your work while in transit and in the gallery.

Selected works should be delivered to the gallery on or before: 29th JulyWorks delivered by An Post (or courier) will be returned using An Post. Please ensure the work is securely packaged.
