Construction Gallery - Call for
Artists
POST
Artists will be running a pop-up gallery in Tooting
from 12 January to 24 March 2012. The gallery is in a
recently vacated shop-fronted building. The space
consists of seven small project spaces, a shop, a cafe
with free wifi and a main space dedicated to
large-scale sculpture and installation works.
POST are inviting expressions of interest from artists
living or working within a 5 mile radius of Tooting
Broadway. All media welcome, however the spaces
particularly suit sound, performance, film/video,
sculpture, installation and site-responsive practices.
Please e-mail marketpostart [at] gmail [dot] com with a
link to your website, up to three images of current
work, a CV and an artists statement.
Shortlisted artists will be
invited to view the space and discuss proposed works
with the curators. We will be arranging a first viewing
of the space in the week before Christmas so please get
in touch asap.
The project is thanks to Tooting Arts Network and
Tooting Town Centre Management and is funded by the
Outer London Fund.
