Description
 
’The Garden of Loss and Triumph’
 
Before it finds its way into personal possession, linen’s value emerges from being laborious to manufacture, a process, which makes its natural fibres forever strong and absorbent. Following this birth, it’s ongoing presence is linked to the home: reminiscent of a mother’s linen cupboard, a grandmother’s linen chest, time and time again, lining the family’s beds, bathrooms, tables and windows. 
 
Passed down through generations, the durable material traverses and embodies the memory of familial experience and emotion. Grief, trauma, loss, but also resilience, regrowth and triumph are profoundly personal, whilst communal in the universality of human experience.

Entry requirements 

There is no entry fee. This project is open to current Art Aviso Artist subscribers with a complete Artist profile and a valid subscription.
 
To Enter:

Art Aviso Artists based in Australia, NZ, and Europe are encouraged to apply, however once the supply of linen and cotton panels are exhausted participation requests will close – get in quick.
 
Linen Artworks can be offered for sale during the physical exhibition and we will be accepting pre-sale enquiries as part of the virtual exhibition.

Art Aviso Artist subscribers will be provided with an A4-sized piece of linen/cotton fabric reclaimed from vintage tablecloths and remnants. The linen should be used as the foundation for an artwork that is an expression of the challenges, loss and grief we currently face in our everyday lives and also the triumphs, large and small that we create and experience along the way. The artwork should be completed in such a way that it can be joined to another piece of fabric for installation and potentially hung from a height. Completed artworks will be joined together to create an installation artwork – A communal expression of the current state of the world in which we live.
 
Art Aviso, will work with Amsterdam based Curator Roza Schenk to bring this exhibition to Amsterdam.
 
*All entered artworks will be exhibited in either Melbourne or Amsterdam and a selection will be exhibited in both. Images of completed artworks will also be exhibited online in a virtual exhibition.
 
All mediums are encouraged.
 
Art Aviso will accept requests for inclusion until the supply of linen pieces is exhausted. Requests for inclusion and postage of linen to the Artists will be rolled out in Phases.
 
*Blending the Physical gallery space with the online and outside realms.
 
The linen based artworks will each be given a unique digital identifier which can act as a key/link to another artwork, which could include: soundscape, film, video art, performance, poetry, spoken word, outdoor installation, etc. that exists in the online space or a space outside of the gallery. The Artists also have the option to link to their Art Aviso profile.
