Fluxlisters may like to consider this one. I guess the exhibition with be physically centred in Manchester England but that electronic and faxed and described works will be accepted.
I'll get a fax number and check the physical location. Off licence is liquor store, and one of Adele's previous productions was Opening Night (name?) which consisted mostly of the sponsors' spirits in piles and clusters around the space with various colouring and mixers. Many of the opening nighters scarcely noticed the lack of other art objects as they tucked into the art liquor. adele myers wrote: > hi > > please can you circulate this to all the artists that > you know or have on your database > > thanks adele > ___________________________________ > > PRICELESS > > A call for submissions > > You are invited to donate artwork for this exhibition. > You can submit ANYTHING (a piece of your work whatever > it may be ? a performance, a sound piece, a photograph > etc, something of value, something of no value) to > PRICELESS. > > Is the art world becoming increasingly commercialised > to a degree where the art and the artist are left > behind in a whirl of agents, style gurus and corporate > whores?
