Open Call: ‘Interactions of colour: Small Works, big on colour’
Posted:
“In visual perception a colour is almost never seen as it really is – as it physically is……In order to use colour effectively it is necessary to recognize that colour deceives continually.”
—Josef Albers
The RGI Kelly Gallery are happy to announce the second Open Call for 2020. In reference to Josef Albers 1963 publication, Interaction of Colour, we are seeking submissions for the Winter members show which relate to ‘Interactions of Colour’. In relation to Albers publication, submissions can be interpreted in anyway desired. We are particularly interested in a variety of works and mediums (drawing, painting, sculpture, performance, mixed media).
If desired submissions can respond to the below quotes:
‘if colour is gonna open up a better dialogue with the work then I’ll use that’
– Jim Lambie speaking to the Independent, 2014.
‘Pure white: this is certainly a Western problem, and there’s no getting away from it.’
– Chromophobia by David Batchelor, p.13.
‘The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love colour the most.’
– The Stones of Venice, John Ruskin.
We are aiming to hold a physical exhibition at The Kelly Gallery, 118 Douglas Street in December 2020 (all dependent on Covid-19 restrictions). All selected works will also be put onto our social media platforms and online shop.
