u MAP: Z3
An open call photocopy show where all works
responding to the title are shown, launched as part of Spike Island Open 2017.
May Day May Day All Works Will Be Shown is
an Open Call Out Photocopy Show of work from around a hundred national and
international artists, writers, performers, creative and noncreatives. In these
perilous times the exhibition title focuses on the ideals of democracy and
solidarity; as the title proclaims, all the submissions are shown without the
hierarchy of a selection process. The ubiquitous photocopier is the champion of
countless zines, home publications, pamphlets and the world of mass
reproduction. This exhibition celebrates the birth of the xerographic printer
in the last century and its continuing role as a voice in the digital age.
The exhibition runs from 29th April to 14th
May, forming a main part of the Spike Island Open Weekend 2017 programme.
Preview: Friday 29th April 6pm till 9pm.
