Supersonic Electronic Invitational 2014

Spoke Art is pleased to present the Third Annual Supersonic Invitational, a group show dedicated to highlighting emerging as well as founded artists in the New Contemporary art movement as chosen by curator and creator of Supersonic Electronic, Zach Tutor.

These 41 artists have been chosen for their diverse ways of expressing similar reflections of life in the second decade of the 21st century. Each of the artists has existed in a world with instant access to unlimited aesthetic inspiration resulting in a very multifaceted generation of artists whose work displays and contains an extraordinary amount of influences. This access to allforms of art and media has shaped their creative output greatly and has pushed art forward to an exciting new era that is only just beginning to be recognizable.

When: Opening Reception Thursday, January 9th 6pm – 10pm (artists in attendance)
***Online sale on Friday, January 10th around 3pm PST HERE.

Blisters: The Sound Sessions (Artist Call For Submissions)

print club london blisters

Following the success of the Blisters Blackout exhibition last year and the Secret Blisters and Blisters On My Fingers of previous years, London-based screenprinting studio, Print Club London opens its doors on the 12th, 13th and 14th of September 2014 for its fifth annual screenprinted exhibition. They are now open for submissions for artwork! So artists, get your pen ready:

Blisters: THE SOUND SESSIONS – The Brief

1.Submit a poster in your own style inspired by your favourite band/song/musician/tour/gig.

2.The catch is, you cannot use the name of the band, song or musician! Use of other text is allowed, of course, but this should stand alone as an image/scene or typography

SCREENPRINTING

Our studios are open for successful submissions to print their own work, but if you aren’t printing this yourself do be aware that the more colours you choose the more expensive it is to produce.

There will be 40 exhibiting artists, each with a 40 edition and signed screenprints selling for £40 a pop!

The idea is that whether you are just out of college, up and coming or a well-known artist, everyone is on the same level platform and the prints speak for themselves.

Our aim is to take affordable art prints to a wider demographic, encouraging buyers to invest in original artwork

Artists who have taken part in our Blisters shows before include: Ben Eine, Jamie Reid, Mr Bingo, Stevie Gee, Pure Evil, Peter Stitson, Luke Insect, Anthony Burrill, Cept, Serge Seidlitz, Jon Burgerman, Kate Moross, Ryan Todd, James Joyce, Luke Whittaker, Atelier Mille Deux, Clifford Richards, Run Don’t Walk, Heiko, Gary Taxali, Mike Perry, RYCA and many, many more!

Submissions must be sent as a low-res .jpeg file to postershow@printclublondon.com and the official deadline is 1st March 2014. This can be discussed if you need more time.
