Autumn Equinox 24 provocation

Autumn Equinox. The Noose

The Autumn Equinox marks the first day of Autumn.

It’s also known as the pagan festival of Mabon – celebrated when day and night are in principle, of equal duration.
It’s possibly a moment to recognise a sense of balance and to recognise the change of season which is marked by shorter day length, a changing landscape and the approach of winter.

Expressions of interest
This provocation invites your creative response to the seasonal change.
In common with previous challenges, it uses walking, distance and time as a common thread.
Closing date for your expression of interest is Friday 13th September.
On receipt, further details will be sent to you.

Media
Using what ever media you feel is appropriate – painting, photography, video, printmaking, music, sound works, the written or spoken word.

Fees
There are no grants or bursaries to help fund the project.
There are no prizes or awards.
But entry is free.
There are no artist’s fees for those artists who are selected.

Selection
There will be a maximum of works by 12 selected artists.
Their work will be assembled as a video approximately 24 minutes.

If you’d like to participate, please send your email contact details.
My email address is: kel@artworks.eu.com.

Please get back to me if you have questions

I look forward to hearing from you!
