SU4IP welcomes artists and their creations to feature in "Order!" - Artist Book by SU4IP. All works in any medium related to this theme will be considered.

"Order!" is the fourth iteration of a submission-style publication produced by SU4IP. Welcoming all submissions responding/related to regulation, structures, hierarchies, systems, control, categories, location, layout, etc.

A brutalist sculpture championing concrete pillars at regulated intervals towers above the viewer. A crisp screen print depicts a complex hierarchy of shapes and forms that invigorate a blank space.

A compact and precise tapestry of rich and dense colours adhering to a system of vertical strands invites the audience to appreciate the technical mastery.

These are just a few examples of how "Order!" could be associated with your work or practice. All mediums and formats are welcome, subject to the viability of being printed in a book. SU4IP invites you to push the boundaries of what order could mean, and how it can be portrayed in art practice.
