  • Channel 4 - Big 4 Design Competition

    Channel 4’s BIG 4, a 50-foot high metal ‘4’ outside the Channel 4 Head Office, has become something of a London landmark since it was erected in 2007 for the Channel’s 25th anniversary.

    Since its construction it has been customised by the Photographer Nick Knight, Turner prize winner Mark Titchner, the Ghanaian sculptor El Anatsui, and most recently by Stephanie Imbeau, an Art Graduate, whose Shelter design constructed with used umbrellas was the winner of a competition run last year for Art Students and recent Graduates.

    This year Channel 4 are launching what will become an annual competition, for current Art & Design Students and Graduates from the last two years (in this case 2008 and 2009), to come up with a fun and playful design to inspire and entertain passers-by, visitors and Channel 4 staff for the next year.

    The panel of judges will initially decide on three finalists whose designs will then be put through a feasibility study, before the final winner is chosen. In addition to creative representatives from Channel 4, the judges will include Alex Proud: Founder of the Proud Galleries, Maurice Blik: Sculptor and Fellow of the RSA and Ruth Mackenzie OBE: Cultural Olympiad Director.

    The competition is aimed at all types of Artists and Designers, full details of which can be found by clicking on the following link:

  • SURVIVAL Art Review, Wrocław-Poland

    8th Edition SURVIVAL Art Review, organised by the ART TRANSPARENT Foundation.  The competition for artistic realisations to be presented during the eighth edition of SURVIVAL Art Review is now open.

    INTRODUCTION

    SURVIVAL 8 will take place in the Strzegomski Bunker, located at the intersection of Strzegomska, Braniborska and Legnicka. The bunker, built in 1942 as one of several air-raid shelters for civilians, is nowadays unavailable to citizens, provoking questions about the relevance of similar buildings in the city development. Holding the Review in such a unique place, which used to be a substitute of a safe refuge in the wartime, prompts artistic references to a whole reservoir of notions connected with the subject of degradation, falling into oblivion, but also transformation, rebuilding and giving hope.

    The key phrase of the eighth edition of SURVIVAL is the sub-heading 'Architecture as a scene of crime', understood both in its historic sense and from the perspective of all urban and social transformations, the evolution of the city, its tissue and inhabitants.

    The subject matter of the works entered for the competition should correspond with the key phrase above or refer to notions such as crisis, absence, emptiness.

    SURVIVAL 8 will be an opportunity to exhibit works in an experimental way. After selecting a project, in cooperation between the artist and the curator, a conception of presenting the work will be developed. The organisers reserve the right to present chosen projects only in the form of competition entries, drafts and documentation. In special cases, a full-size production and presentation of a work shall be considered.

    RULES AND REGULATIONS:

    1. Qualification for the Review is two-stage: in stage 1, the applications are evaluated formally; in stage 2, they are assessed on their merits.

    4. The projects displayed during the Review shall be prepared according to a timetable set by the Organiser.

    5. The projects entered for the competition shall not have been presented before.

    6. The Organiser guarantees partial reimbursement for the costs of making the artistic realisation for the Review, up to a pre-arranged amount, agreed upon by both sides and included in the agreement.

    7. Each author may send maximum three individual projects.

    8. The Organiser provides assistance with the assembly by previous arrangement.

    9. The Organiser provides security on the premises of the Review but does not guarantee full protection and does not insure the works realised during the event.
