Open Call
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Deadline for entry: 19th of July 2019
WARBLING GROUP EXHIBITION
Warbling invites international submissions of contemporary art for a curated group pop-up exhibition to be held in East Dulwich, London from the 22nd of August to the 2nd of September 2019.
The exhibition will be titled ‘Of course, I haven’t forgotten!’, it’s completely up to each artist submitting to come to their own conclusions on how the title might relate or sit nicely alongside their practice. It’s interesting to read different ideas and interpretations of our titles in the submissions form, however it is not obligatory to do so and often if a work stands out, it can be related in some way to the other works being considered within the exhibition as a whole.
A year after the first exhibition, Warbling will be returning to East Dulwich, this time however to a new space. 155a Artist Space is a versatile ex artist studio which holds regular local art fairs and workshops for the East Dulwich community. The gallery has many homelike features over two floors which will lend itself well to a relaxed and intimate group show.
Selected work will also be promoted online via the @warblingcollective Instagram account and website in addition to being showcased within Warbling’s carefully curated exhibition.
ABOUT WARBLING
Warbling is a London-based curatorial project which started in June 2017 as an instagram account curated by Robyn Graham featuring a selection of artworks which fit within a quieter aesthetic. With the help of fellow artists Vanessa Mosquera Cabanas and Onur Safak, Warbling formed an ever interchangeable and expanding group which is not tied by geography or level but by those who share a common subtle style or similarly gentle qualities within their work.
We're London-based artists who are seeking to bring together, curate and exhibit like-minded and light-hearted creatives, creating a community of people who maybe might just by chance be following each others instagrams already.
At the moment Warbling is entirely self funded, thus we require a submission fee of £20 to submit up to 5 artworks, all proceeds are directly used for Warbling organising costs for this and future projects in order promote and bring artists, their artworks, and ideas together.
Everyone who makes a submission regardless of whether their work is selected for this particular show, will receive an invitation to the private view and be greeted warmly with a cold beer.
Submission fee is £20 (non-refundable)
Entry deadline is 19th of July 2019
