Undoings explores works on the threshold between the made and unmade.
Closing date: 17 May 2025
This national open-call exhibition invites UK-based makers, artists, and craftspeople to respond to the theme UNDOINGS. Organised by Sussexs Contemporary, their ambition is to present work by contemporary UK creatives that responds to the theme and, in doing so, identifies a shared aesthetic that characterizes the often overlooked artisanal workmanship of the crafts sector.
The selection panel will focus on ‘handmade' objects and structures made using traditional and more ad hoc craft techniques. The works the panel will look for should be created using simple, repetitive actions, such as simple repetitive mark-making, crochet, plaiting, weaving, and winding, as well as stringing, shredding, binding, and crumpling.
Drawing on a wide range of materials, colors, scales, and textures, the works can be as much bound together as they are poised to disintegrate.
All mediums are welcome and encouraged to submit.
Returning to BN9 STUDIO space in Newhaven, East Sussex.
Supported by Creative Newhaven, Towner Eastbourne, ROSA Magazine, West Dean College, and Lewes District Council.
