It takes place at the Hundred Years Gallery in London, 13 Pearson Street, London E2 8JD. Here are are the details.
‘Bells from the Deep’ is a title borrowed from one of the great Werner Herzog’s documentaries which dives in the profound spirituality and superstition in Russia. For our Open Call we aim to ring the deep bells of the artists, searching for the spontaneity of drawing and the dedication of craft printing, as an intimate and direct expression of the artist’s inner force, whether this one comes from the so common overwhelming social struggles, life’s uncertainty and beauty, fears, or just simply their personal, spiritual or not, themes.
During the ‘Bells From The Deep’ exhibition the gallery basement will turn into a drawing room open to everyone who wants to use it as an improvised studio. We will also ask the audience to participate in a series of events organized with the artists and to vote for their favourites. The 8 most voted artists will be exhibited in a Hundred Years Gallery Group Show during 2016 organized and curated by the Director Montse Gallego.
