  Public Pages

  CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS


  Public Pages is an exhibition of Text Art and Visual Poetry bringing together
  contributions from poets, artists and makers of works which explore 
the visual
  and cultural impact of the sign and the slogan in public space. Designed as a
  complement to the academic conference Poetry and Public Language, this
  exhibition will show works which engage with the placement and 
displacement of
  text on the page, that articulate the two-dimensional surface, that integrate
  visual and textual elements in a composition and consider the page 
as a public
  space, addressing a public and entering into public debate.

  Public Pages is curated by Mark Leahy


  DATES: 26 March -8 April, 2007

  Opening reception Friday 30 March


  The exhibition invites responses from poets, artists, writers, makers, to the
  possibilities of the restrictions of a one-page work. The works will be
  published in digital form on the exhibition website, and a selection will be
  printed as larger scale works (up to A0 size) to be shown in the 
gallery spaces
  of the Portland Square Building at Plymouth University.


  CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

  Submissions are requested for an exhibition of one page visual textual works
  that will be shown in conjunction with the conference Poetry and Public
  Language, at Portland Square Building, Plymouth University and online at

  Works are welcomed that engage with the placement and displacement of text on
  the page, that articulate the two-dimensional surface, that 
integrate visual and
  textual elements in a composition, and consider this page a public space, as
  addressing a public, or entering into public debate.


  Submissions should be sent in the form of PDF documents of one page
