‘NEW ONLY : ONLY NEW’ - Curated by Chloë Dowsett

I would like to explore the organic world of process based work. Work that consecutively changes through chance, impulse, making and interaction.
To retract from the progression of artificial autonomy by celebrating what cannot be searched or generated.

The exhibition invites artwork that is brand new. Drawing, printing, dancing, collaboration, performance, words or and media that hold no influence to this saturation of artificial outlooks.
This exhibit is heavily influenced by the Fluxus movement and what it stands for, the present.

APPLICANTS:
- Any medium
- Artists or not
- Challenging ideologies
- Experimental
