Jennifer Lauren Gallery - Call Out
Terence Wilde, All That Jazz
JENNIFER LAUREN GALLERY - CALL OUT
The Jennifer Lauren Gallery was set up in 2017 to champion and exhibit self-taught and overlooked artists who create works outside the mainstream art world and art history. It aims to showcase undiscovered talents, evolving artists, as well as internationally recognised artists commonly seen as outsider artists, whose authentic, raw and honest work speaks for itself.
During this uncertain time the Jennifer Lauren Gallery is seeking submissions from national and international artists that self-define as disabled and/or Deaf.
The Gallery will be hosting an online exhibition on its website, with a downloadable zine of the works too. The exhibition will support and showcase the work of 25 artists selected through a call-out with the help of artist and adult survivor with mental health issues Terence Wilde, whom Jennifer already supports and Lisa Slominski of Slominski Projects. The Gallery hopes that this exhibition will expose these artist’s works to wider audiences, to bring a sense of achievement during this difficult and isolating time and who knows, may result in new opportunities for the artists, and studios that support them.
The call-out: Artists who self-define as disabled and/or Deaf can submit a photograph of one work (or send one digital piece of work) via email with its title, size (wxh in cm) and medium. (BSL version at the bottom of the page.) Please also submit your name and a short description about the work of up to 30 words should you wish to. (A BSL video can be submitted in replacement of this text, which will be interpreted into text). The photograph/digital file needs to be 5mb or less in size. Studios can submit work on behalf of artists if they have the artist’s permission.
