21 May - 09 Jul 2011
Carrying a prize of GB £10,000 and open to artists working in all media, of any age and with no geographical limits, Mostyn 2011, the Mostyn Open exhibition, returns in 2011 following the reopening of the Mostyn gallery with major new exhibition spaces. Started in 1989, the Mostyn Open grew quickly to become a major exhibition in the UK art calendar, before developing into an international event from around 2000. With Mostyn’s award-winning new building now open, the Open is back on a biennial basis, in a much greater exhibition area and with a bigger prize than previously, and with a worldwide submission welcomed.
This year’s selectors are the renowned artist Richard Wentworth, international curator Karen Mackinnon and Mostyn’s Head of Exhibition Anders Pleass. The selectors choose the works for the exhibition from the images submitted only, without seeing the artists’ names or CVs, so selection is based entirely on their judgement of the works. Over 500 artists have been shown in the sixteen Mostyn Open exhibitions to date. With all artists looked at on an equal basis, without reference to name or track record, it is an opportunity for emerging artists to be considered alongside established ones, and many artists have exhibited in the Mostyn Open early one in their careers, for example Ryan Gander, Rosalind Nashashibi, David Blandy, Elizabeth Price and Camilla Løw.
The closing date for submissions is 7 March 2011 and the exhibition will take place from 21 May to 9 July 2011. Please either download the application form or, if you prefer, email open@mostyn.org and they will send one or answer any queries. In either case please read the conditions of entry carefully before submitting your entry.
