Exhibition In November

Our chums over at The Ministry Of Progress recently sent us the info for an upcoming exhibition they're taking part in at the Unit 11 space in Hackney on November 4th. Here's the press release and information:

November: the nights rapidly draw in and the shops announce Christmas; beginning with fireworks and ending with advent calendars.

To deviate from these well-trodden proceedings, Unit 11 is playing host to “November”, a short, sharp exhibition that will showcase new art from London-based practitioners. Through a combination of open submissions and a presentation of work from members of The Ministry of Progress, this event aims to present a strong body of ideas spanning multiple art platforms, but with no overriding agenda.

There will also be free beer available on the night.

Originally opened in 2009, Unit 11 is a project space situated in the heart of East London and functions as a blank canvas for flash shows and one- off projects. It has recently shown new works by Cara Fielding and Todd Atticus. December will see the hanging of a new cycle of paintings by
Brighton-based artist Aimee Parrott.

Unit 11 is a five minute walk from Hackney Central Overground station and is situated along or near to the following bus routes: 30, 38, 277, 48, 55, 253, 254, 106.

There's also an open call for submissions, so go send your work in people!

Interested artists should apply with a proposal of one piece of work which they would like to include. There are no stipulations on medium but the work has to have been made in 2010. Applicants should send images of the piece (or a written description if the work is not object-based) along with a short artist statement. The deadline for applications is Thursday October 28th at midday and all artists must be available during the day of November 4th to deliver and hang the work. Successful artists will be notified by October 31st. Unit 11 will take no commission from any sale.
