Call for art: Museum of Everything at the Tate


I am going to be one of the judges the afternoon of Friday May 14 for Museum of Everything's second show.
Open submission outsider art required!

0n May 14th, 15th and 16th 2010, The Museum of Everything will present Exhibition #2 at Tate Modern as part of No Soul for Sale.

For Exhibition #2, The Museum of Everything will showcase 1000 works on paper and canvases by newly discovered artists from across the British Isles. Artists of all descriptions are invited to submit their work, provided they are non-traditional, non-professional and non-exhibited. Elderly artists and artists with disabilities are especially welcome, as are nominated friends, relations, representatives and descendants of artists. Owners of discovered and anonymous artwork are also invited.

Artwork should be brought in person to the Tate Modern during the show. It will be assessed by our Board of Trustees and if successful, will be displayed in the Turbine Hall and published in a book of the exhibition.

For interviews, information or images, please email mje@musevery.com or visit the website for more information www.musevery.com.

Baldessari

I always knew I was a Keinholz girl. Weird crazy dirty installation that give you the shivers. I always knew I loved Ed Ruscha, in the same way that anyone obsessed with old movies until the age of 18 would be.
However, after a visit to the Tate Modern yesterday, I realise I love yet another big name mid century LA artist - John Baldessari. There was lots of incredibly varied pieces in this well curated show (a delayed camera that projected viewers onto a wall under a big plastic brain, lots of polaroid conceptual works, some late paintings). But what really did it for me was the compositions he made from old film stills (like Marclay without the sound). A show worth travelling for (great catalogue 'Pure Beauty' too).
