Warbling is an artist-run, independent platform that organises temporary exhibitions in London, UK. You can find more information about the project and the artist behind it here.

Each Warbling open call begins with a title. It is up to the individual submitting to decide if and how the title aligns with their ongoing practice. Artworks will be considered within the EXHIBITION'S CONTEXT as a whole and how they might be interpreted alongside the other participating artists' works. However, there is no specific theme for the exhibition; it will encompass a variety of threads and ideas based on the submissions received. To gain a better understanding of the project, click here to view the past exhibitions.

The title this time will be Seem Both Distant And So Close
