Call for London based Artists

We are currently selecting artists for a group show exhibition which will be held in June 2007 in a (non-profit) contemporary art gallery located in Toulouse in south of France : the GHP gallery. This exhibition will take place in partnership with the "Marathon des Mots", a national event located in Toulouse and dedicated to reading and literature (I invite you to visit their website for more informations : www.lemarathondesmots.com). For this edition, London will be honoured with many events and guests in all the city and we thought to participate of this by bringing our own exhibition and invite some london based artists to present their work within our walls, among with some other french artists already selected. The title of the exhibition is eMOTion (MOT equal word en french) and we would like our artists to express themselves in regard. Artworks like paintings, video and installations will be more welcomed as understood as they respect this perspective aimed towards words, text and language in a more literary perspective.

If you are interested in showing us some of your work you think might be interesting, we would be glad to examine it and, if complies with our line, to show it in our gallery during the exhibition. At this point I have to indicate to you we are virtually a (close to) non-budget young gallery and that we wouldn't have the ability to compensate you other than by showing and promoting your work and sell it if you authorize, either as any book or "merchandising" you would have to put in our library corner shop. I insist on this point because it has to be cleared first as it is a no-way condition for some. We will do our best in promoting the exhibition and, besides the Marathon itself (which will organize public readings by actors in the gallery), we are establishing partnerships with some media like radios and art magazines as well as with some local organizations (performances…) in order to make the gallery the theater of several public events.

Please contact us if you are interested. Just remember our schedule is tight and we won't accept any work later than by the end of february. Thanks.
