Shape Arts’ annual open exhibition will be hosted by its patron, *Yinka
Shonibare MBE*, at his *Guest Projects *space in Hackney, London, from 4
February 2016 and we'd love for you to attend the opening night from 6pm on
4 February.
The Shape Open 2016 theme ‘My Life’ encouraged both disabled and
non-disabled artists to creatively express life through the lens of
disability. Using an exciting range of mediums such as blood, machinery and
modified everyday objects to express their ideas, the artists drew on
memory, nostalgia and processes of internal reflection to explore the
complexity of this year’s theme.
Now in its fourth year, Shape Open is an annual call-out with a
disability-focused theme. Exhibiting artists are selected by a panel of
arts industry judges, with the artist who produces the most exceptional
work winning a £1000 cash prize. The prize will be presented by Yinka in
person at the close of the exhibition.
Previous Shape Open artists have gone on to exhibit at Southbank Centre,
The Victoria and Albert museum and more.
Yinka will be giving a talk on becoming an artist on Wednesday 10 February
at 7pm. Tickets available at http://tinyurl.com/qe8m2bz
