[artinfo] post a message- Call for submissions for London exhibition.

[diana ali]

Deadline 24th March 2008


As a one night event an exhibition at Wimbledon, London will explore 
Victor Shklovskys' concept of 'defamiliarisation'
This concept allows us to step out of the norm to engage in art in a 
more refreshing way.

-
You will be emailed some words or images which you will then display 
in your city/ country.

These words are interpretations of the word 'defamiliaristaion' 
submitted by other artists.

You can alter/ interpret or re-do the words or simply print them out. 
e.g write them on a wall.

Then take a digital picture of its location and email it back to 
alidiana at gmail.com along with your name, location, explanation or 
description of the photo and contact details.

The photograph must be a representation or be characteristic of the 
city or country it is in.

The best photographs fulfilling the criteria will be displayed in the 
exhibition.

To receive your words please email alidiana at gmail.com
-

All photographs will be returned to the original artist who came up 
with the words so they are re-introduced to the 'defamiliarised' 
version.

This project was started in Sheffield and will hopefully go from 
local, national to international, sharing artists work around the 
globe exploring the debates of electronic communication.


Thank you for your time
