One of the intriguing things about working on A:L:L is wondering which locations we will be able to secure: some places that you think will definitely say ‘yes’ say ‘no’, whereas by contrast we have managed to place works in spaces that I would never have thought possible. Sometimes the negotiations are long and tortuous, and some lovely people say ‘yes’ straightaway. So if you are thinking of applying, you are definitely encouraged to aim high for where you would like to locate your work. We can’t guarantee to work miracles (sadly!), and ultimately it is the responsibility of each…

Proposals already arriving for this year’s art:language:location and I know that several more are brewing. Very intriguing mix so far! If you have not yet done so, please check out the Callout page for full details or click here for a downloadable pdf. Three weeks to go till the deadline!
