SIXTY is a curated two-part exhibition in London and Athens predicated on notions of arbitrary political constraints. Sixty works of art will be selected by different decision-making bodies or individuals, including a public vote, and subject to a variety of processes and criteria — physical, financial and political — testing the ability of both artist and curator to navigate within structures offering both real and illusory choices and opportunities.
Artists are invited to submit artworks in any medium by posting through the gallery's letterbox. The internal dimensions of our letterbox are 6cm by 24.5cm. All artworks received in this way will be displayed in the gallery from 13 to 22 May alongside pieces from our collection of editions and small works. The gallery's directors will select 60 works from our collection and a further 60 works submitted via the open call will be selected by a public vote at the private view. From each of the two bodies of 60 works, 30 will be chosen by a team of curators and together these final 60 works will travel to Greece for the Platform Projects section of Art Athina Art Fair, where they will be on show for 4 days. A price cap of €240 per work has been set to reflect the continued austerity measure imposed on Greek citizens, who can only withdraw a maximum of €60 per day.
