Open call for art submissions to Issue 6 of Haus-a-rest Zine and Social media platform

This issue the topic is ...

play

/pleɪ/

"To engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose."  But isn't the creation of art an enjoyable process? What if it's not? Is play always fun or does it have a darker side? Are you creating work in a playful way, having fun and a damned good belly laugh pushing materials and processes to the limit, juggling with processes and tickling the underside of serious concepts, turning them on their head and making us think? Or are you toying with it and utterly miserable as you play with the work? We are really excited to see how you play within your practice, your created use of play to make the work, the performative play in your creations and the simple enjoyment of expression (or not).

We are very excited to see your interpretation.

You will need to submit:

1) A good quality image of your work.

2) Three lines of text to explain your concept,  why you made the piece and any obstacles you had to overcome.

3) Your Instagram name so we can tag you.

4) Do you wish to join our mailing list Y/N?

Your work will not be accepted if you do not provide all of the four requested items. If accepted your work will be featured in the Zine, Instagram and FB for a least one month, and very likely for several.
