Precious

Hove Museum & Art Gallery is seeking submissions for Precious, an exhibition showcasing work incorporating objects that have been used before.

The exhibition will open at Hove Museum & Art Gallery in January 2010 and we aim to tour nationwide up to 2012.

Rather than seeing recycling as a ‘worthy’ activity, the exhibition will be looking at objects where previously used material forms the core resource which the artists in the exhibition need in order to make.

We are looking for three categories of submissions:

- artists and makers whose existing work fits into the remit of the exhibition

- artists and makers who would like to develop new work using objects collected by Brighton & Hove City Council waste and recycling teams

- artists and makers who would like to develop ‘plinths’ for the exhibition using pre-used materials

For more information about the project, and an information pack, please email katie.hobbs@brighton-hove.gov.uk.

Deadline for submission of interest is 31 October 2008.
