One Church Street Gallery invites submissions of small-scale textile works for exhibition of no larger than 20x20x20cm. The selectors are seeking a breadth of approach in the construction or application of cloth and thread.

These can cross the boundaries of art practice, and may incorporate any element of textile material, technique or process.

Sculptural, experimental, 2D and 4D works are envisaged in this exciting exhibition of miniature pieces. The gallery is very interested in that delicate space which artists navigate between fine craft and fine art.

Media: Any media may be used except hazardous materials.

Finished works may be in 2, 3 or 4D; freestanding, hanging or wall-mounted, but should be unframed and unglazed. Final dimensions should not exceed 20cm x 20cm x 20cm.

The exhibition of selected works, resulting from this submission, will be shown in the gallery from October 12th - November 9th 2013. The artist may or may not elect to offer their work for sale through the gallery. In addition the judges will select four artists who will be invited to have their own joint exhibition in the gallery in 2014.

Artists may submit images of up to 2 works for a non-refundable fee of £15.

Jury: Polly Binns, Linda Brassington, Lyndsey Keeling

Global Matrix III

Deadline: September 9, 2011 (RECEIVE) or (EMAIL)

Global Matrix III

Purdue University Galleries
Yue-Kong Pao Hall of Visual and Performing Arts
West Lafayette, IN


A contemporary review of fine art printmaking in all media from around the world presented as a traveling exhibition by the Purdue University Galleries (West Lafayette, Indiana USA)

From its humble origins as simple relief rubbings or patterns stamped onto paper and cloth, the art of the print has spread to all corners of the globe, growing and developing conceptually as a result of the contributions of an ever-growing circle of international artists. By drawing and manipulating an image matrix, they have utilized the essence of the multiple to explore the varied possibilities of image, color and repetition. The proliferation of multiple images around the world has led to a shared culture of appreciation. Styles and techniques identified with particular printmaking enclaves in various parts of the world can readily be seen now in the works of artists with different languages and different cultures, separated by thousands of miles.

Entry Procedure

There will be no entry fee.
Entrants may submit up to five (5) original works completed in the past three years (2009 - 2011). Selections will be made from digital images in the form of jpeg files (maximum file dimension of eight inches in image size -- maximum resolution of 300 dpi) - no slides and no PowerPoint shows.

Work will be selected for the exhibition by: Kathryn Reeves, Professor of Art & Design at Purdue University; Kimberly Vito, Associate Professor of Art & Art History at Wright State University; Sean Caulfield, Associate Professor of Art & Design at the University of Alberta; and Craig Martin, Director of the Purdue University Galleries. The team has previously collaborated on the first and second installments of “Global Matrix” in 2002 and 2007.
