12-Pages Online Project Space: Call for Submissions - Issue 7

TBC Artists' Collective has now announced an open call for submissions to its June 12-Pages Projects. Applicants are asked to make a new artwork in response to the theme of 'RADICALS'.

The Regency era spawned a group of revolutionary artists, writers and thinkers including Thomas Paine, Mary Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, William Blake and Lord Byron - who became known as the Radicals. It was a period in British history where opinions were voiced and artistic expression was at a level never witnessed before.

For this brief you are asked to consider modern day 'radicals' spanning the last 20 years. Work created can be a homage, reference, quote, or interpretation.

Submissions should incorporate elements of drawing processes within finished outcomes, with an emphasis on your chosen radical.
The notion of 'radical' can be as rigid or as loose as you feel comfortable with.

12-Pages: Hybrid

Open publication - Free publishing - More literature

The new issue of 12-Pages, TBC Artists' Collective's online journal is now live on the TBC blog - www.12-pages.com. Edited by Beverley Bennett, the project challenged TBC members and their invited open submissions to contribute to the theme Hybrid.

Beethoven / 5:17 / Chopin

I decided to based my research on music. Namely classical music, Beethoven's Egmont, Op. 84: Overture in F Minor and Chopin's Nocturne No.1 in B-Flat minor, Op. 9, No. 1.
By layering the two sets of music to play seamlessly together, I later documented its output via an equalizer. There, the visual compositions were made.
I'm hoping to develop further on this series. Perhaps to produce hand rendered drawings as opposed to digital.
