The Puzzle Project UK is calling for entries

Puzzle Project invites UK based and international visual artists to respond to the theme: ‘Exceeding boundaries’

We are still calling for entries for the Puzzle Project UK. This initiative started in Japan and the aim is to make it grow and travel around different cities across the globe.

In this project participants will create art on the surface of a plain puzzle piece. The artworks will be curated all together to build up one puzzle. Only 58 pieces will be commissioned through the London office in 2008: 29 by invitation and 29 by submission. The rest will come from the Japan Office and 10 more will be created in a workshop that will take place in London.

The theme of the project is ‘Exceeding boundaries’ and any media/technique is accepted. Artists from Japan, the UK and other countries will blur geographic, linguistic, religious, cultural and even aesthetic boundaries by sharing the same space and time through their artworks. Consequently the pieces will show a series of connections and disconnections among each other but never without stop belonging to one single puzzle piece; just like it happens in urban centres, where among strangers and friends we built our own city and life stories. This process is full of relations and non-relations as well as order and chaos.

If you are interested in participating please download the ‘Entry Form’ from here and follow the instructions

Closing date for entries: 31st August
