HIY2009 - Hang It Yourself
HIY 2009
Everyone will have a chance to show their work during the PhotoAccess 25th Anniversary celebrations, when the HUW DAVIES GALLERY will be the venue for the ultimate open access exhibition. A photomedia take on street art, HIY (Hang it Yourself) 2009 will show in the HUW DAVIES GALLERY from 1 to 20 September 2009.
There are a few rules for HIY 2009:
• the exhibition will begin on 1 September; images will be ‘hung’ by their creators over the three days 1 to 3 September, in time for the opening on Saturday 5 September. We will be open until 6.30pm on Tuesday 1 September to give members after hours time to hang their work
• white space can be claimed without curatorial, taste or other interference
• the images must be unframed and fixed with acid free mounting tabs (to be provided by PhotoAccess)
• up to five images can be ‘hung’ by each person; there is no restriction on subject matter but images should not be wider than 420 mm (overall paper size)
• creators are encouraged to participate in a mass artists talk on the last day of the exhibition, Sunday 20 September at 2.30pm, and should be available to take their work down on that day
• an entry fee of $10 per image will help us with the cost of the show and the opening and closing events
• only PhotoAccess members can participate; a concessional $20 membership fee is available to people wishing to participate but the entry form & membership application must be completed and submitted on line with payment by Monday 31 August
