Come to the ICA tomorrow

Thank you very much for all your proposals. This opportunity is now closed, all artists included in By Appointment will receive a confirmation email today.

CBNC's aim is to bring together unknown artists so that we might raise, discuss and act upon many of the issues concerning the artist and the institute.

Galleries and art schools have come to represent a form of authority that 'governs' contemporary art; this is something we fundamentally disagree with but we do believe the institute can play an important role in our endeavours as artists. So we would like to facilitate activities that encourage dialogues between unknown artists and institutions, rupturing the structure of the system and the roles all we play within this system; as artists, employees, students and outsiders.

We would like to invite you all down to the ICA tomorrow 12-7pm to get the ball rolling; for you to meet us and each other, to discuss your interest in response to this project and to make suggestions in the formation of this new network.

By Appointment

What would you do if invited to exhibit at the ICA?

By Appointment is a project by CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR which offers unknown artists the opportunity to propose a one day exhibition at the Institute for Contemporary Art.

The proposals will be exhibited at the ICA on the 9th May 2010 between 12 and 7pm as part of the first of the ICA’s Live Weekends, curated by David Gryn.

Unknown artists wishing to participate in this project should email their 150 word proposal for a one day exhibition at the ICA to:

closebutnocigar@bigstring.com

All artists will be fully credited and are encouraged to join us at the ICA on 9th May 2010 to view the work, meet other contributing artists and to engage in an ongoing dialogue about the future of the artist and the institute.
