BLINDSIDE Festival - Calling Artists from Across the World

BLINDSIDE is calling for ‘postcards’ from contemporary visual artists to present their work for inclusion in RETURN TO SENDER — an exhibition in our inaugural festival in August 2012 themed around the open concept of travel, transitions and place.

Is there somewhere you would rather be? The inaugural BLINDSIDE Festival everywhere but here will be a multi-platform event where artists and the audience can connect, discuss, and imagine alternate destinations together. The postcard works will be exhibited as a salon-style group exhibition, presented in conjunction with a forum on international artist residencies.

If you are an artist who is interested in notions of travel and destination, would like to show Melbourne your end of the world, or is just hoping to make the postal service smile, we are accepting submissions via post in the following formats:

Drawing

Painting

Sculpture

Textiles

Photography

Prints

Basically anything we can stick on the wall or sit on a plinth

Artwork can be any size, as long as it can be sent through the post and fits through a standard letterbox (no larger than 130mm x 240mm, no thicker than 5mm, maximum weight 250g). Get creative! Please label your work with your name and include with your submission a separate typed document with your name, medium, year the work was made and from where you are sending it. Also include your email address and contact details.

Works should be sent to:

BLINDSIDE 
Level 7, Room 14, Nicholas Building 
37 Swanston Street, Melbourne, Australia, 3000

All works must be received (not postmarked) by 3 August 2012.

Presentation of work 
This is an open-call. All works received will be presented in BLINDSIDE Festival’s Exhibition RETURN TO SENDER.

Return of work 
If you would like your work returned via post, please include the appropriate return package, sufficiently stamped and self-addressed. BLINDSIDE takes no responsibilities of work damaged or lost in transit.

Interesting, but...this was posted on IUOMA 1 August 2012, and  postcards to be received in Melbourne by 3 August, and, sorry, but that just ain't possible.
