DRIVER? Passenger? Bystander?

April 2007

Cork-based artist collaboration SKART invited submissions of images and texts from all artists for POSTED 1. This will be an international interdisciplinary curated poster project to be presented in 12 venues across the world and online simultaneously. The selected images/texts will be reproduced as a set of A3 posters, to be displayed in each venue for 2 weeks in June and then destroyed. All submissions will be placed on our project website along with documentation from each venue. Selection will be made by SKART with Rene Zechlin (Curator of Exhibitions, Glucksman Gallery, Cork) and Trevor Joyce (Poet, Chair of SoundEye).
