Call for entries! 13b is an exciting new project and gallery space looking for photography submissions for their 2nd exhibition ‘There's no place like home’. This is a great opportunity to expand your network and get greater exposure by exhibiting your work in front of an international audience.

About 13b

13b is a new, artist run project space and gallery founded by LJ Winter at her home in the medieval town of Kamnik, Slovenia.

Born out of a desire to create a space for artists to show their work and try out ideas outside of the traditional white cube, the gallery explores questions of what art is, how it is made and who makes it.

By de-centralising the exhibition space and bringing art into the fabric of everyday life, 13b blurs the boundaries between art and reality, encouraging spontaneous interactions and forging connections between artists, audiences and the public sphere, both nationally and internationally.

13b is located in the centre of the historical town of Kamnik, a 20 minute drive from the capital Ljubljana, and a 10 minute walk  from established galleries and museums such as Medobčinski Muzej Kamnik (MMK), Zaprice, Miha Maleš and Galerija Pogled.

Focus:

• Collaboration
• Everyday creativity
• DIY ethos in art
• Art in unusual spaces
• Art as intervention
• Reclaimed work, labour and time
• Building alternatives to capitalism and the institutional art world

The exhibition 'There's no place like home' will run for 6 weeks from Sept 12- Oct 10 and will coincide with the 'Days of National Costumes and Clothing Heritage', the largest ethnnographical festival in Slovenia which attracts more than 30,000 visitors each year.

With this in mind, we invite artists to submit photographs connected to the theme of 'home'.

This can be interpreted very broadly, for example, in my own practice, I often explore themes of identity owing to my dual nationality as both an English and Slovenian citizen and never quite feeling at home in either place.

Artists are welcome to submit images connected to themes of home/belonging, culture/community/eccentricity, the local/the global, nationality/individualism, traditions/the modern, displacement/memory etc. Images can be abstract or figurative and everything in between!

All works will be documented and images of the PV, final installation and any press will be forwarded to each artist.

You do not need to be a professional artist to participate, as we believe that art is for everyone and exhibiting your work is a great way of developing your practice and helping you towards the next stages of your learning or career goals.

Artists who are selected will have their work displayed in a 6 week-long exhibition in our gallery, with their work also appearing online on our social media pages with a link to their websites.

The gallery will print all images so no need to post anything
