This Open Call will culminate in an exhibition curated by emerging Curator Mary Doyle Burke and renowned Irish artist Eamon Colman, which will run from Thursday, June 20th, until Tuesday, July 9th. We invite emerging and professional artists from all over Ireland to respond to the above title of this upcoming Exhibition, which is open to their interpretations of the title.

All forms of work can be entered, 2D painting, prints etc and 3D work of any form.
As an artist, do you use lines to define and might that often contain fields of colour that capture a moment of stillness in an area or the land?
What is land to you and how do you abstract it, firstly in the mind, in your thoughts and then on the canvas etc? Or do you introduce lines that are less complete, more active, only partially delineating forms, allowing colours to move and expand into each other, to perhaps create paintings that suggest fluidity and motion of the land, like time is passing before the viewer’s eyes?
Perhaps you will respond to this by exploring the mystery of border lines in the land that still remain and if they manifest artificially necessitated by the unbreakable connection of a certain group of people to a certain piece of land. Does your art explore these lines in the land that are symbolic power of authority and how these lines are or are not shifting currently?
Entry is open today until Wednesday 12th June 5 pm.
The entry fee is €20 for up to max. 3 artworks.
Works will be selected by Mary and Eamon and will be notified by email by midday Sunday, June 15th.
All selected works must be delivered to the gallery by Tuesday 17th June.
At show end, all works must be collected on Tuesday evening 9th July between 5 pm to 7 pm.
