I don’t want no scrub
OPEN CALL for artists who experiment with live performance
DEADLINE for submissions: Tuesday 22nd February
Disclaimer: this event was supposed to happen in early ish january and the title was referencing all the leftover December bath wash water scrub flannel sets we get given over the festive period. The tubs that sort of collate and become this beast of their own. We had to postpone with covid, it is now march.
On Friday 18th March from 6-9pm we are hosting a live performance event at hARTslane in front of a small audience. We are looking for artists to work with us. This will be an evening showcasing artists who experiment with live performance. This is a DIY pilot event and so will be the first in what were hoping will be an ongoing programme with a different open call every two months.
Confirmed and performing artists at this event on Friday 18th March include:
Rachel Lonsdale, Kyran Gilbert, Michal Adamczewski, Sarah Nahas, Max Melvin, Lewis Baxter and Kara Hondong
We have four slots going to perform. Each artist is given 10-20 minutes. There’s no pressure for finalised or complete work, a lot of us will be working with snippets and works in progress. We will have a camera to record footage to give to artists afterwards.
What to expect: performance/live drawing/sound/sketch/spoken word/parody
We have: a mic/speakers/projector/tables
If you are an artist experimenting with something live and wanna bring it to hARTslane gallery to test send an email to Rachel at hartslanegallery@gmail.com with your name, title of the piece, and a description of what you’d would like to perform. You can also send accompanying images and links and clips of the performance. Five artists will be looking over the submissions.
This is an open call and there are only four slots this time however these events are going to be an ongoing series at the gallery, so your work could be included at the next event if not this one!
