Yö Kekri vol.3 Open Call - SURREALISM / ART EXHIBITION
The Surrealist art movement began approximately 100 years ago with the publication of the first Surrealist manifesto (15.10.1924). The Artists’ Association Yö celebrates the centennial legacy and continuity of this art movement in the form of the Yö Kekri vol.3 multidisciplinary festival from October 15, 2024, to November 3, 2024. The festival highlights the ideas that influenced the Surrealist movement and, above all, their relevance and impact on contemporary art.
We are currently seeking visual artworks from members of the Artists’ Association Yö for a Surrealist art exhibition, which will be held at the Yö Galleria from October 17 to November 3, 2024. The theme of the artworks is free artistic interpretation of Surrealism. The technique and execution of the artworks are free, including audiovisual works. We particularly welcome artwork series consisting of multiple pieces and installations that expand into space.
Artists participating in the exhibition will receive an exhibition fee in the form of a €100 compensation.
Please send your informal artwork proposals to the association coordinator of The Artists’ Association Yö at producer@yory.fi. Include images or sketches of the proposed artwork/artwork series, along with information about the artwork's technique, dimensions, length (audiovisual works), year of creation, and price (in addition to the price, specify whether value-added tax is charged on sales).
Also, include a brief description of your own relationship with Surrealism in your proposal.
Only artworks from member artists who have paid the membership fee for the year 2024 will be accepted.
The deadline for submissions is July 31, 2024.
