Art that is cool AND square…
Square Art – Golden square posts’ long running art comp returns for the fifteenth time on the 26th of November 2009 with art world endorsements from White Cube artist, Harland Miller, and the legendary Slade School of Fine Art–UCL.
Square Art is the extra-curricular showcase for talented and artistic commercial industry insiders. To coincide with Golden Square’s 10th anniversary, this year’s theme is ‘Ten’. Submissions are encouraged across all media – paintings, videos and sculptures; and the show is open to anyone employed in advertising. Previous entrants include advertising heavyweights like CHI founder, Charles Inge; and last year’s judging was by WCRS president Robin Wight and Sunday Times art critic Waldemar Januszczak.
This year’s Square Art sees the show’s advertising roots stretch even further into the art world. Celebrated artist and writer, Harland Miller, and head of undergraduate painting at Slade School of Fine Art–UCL, Andrew Stahl, will act as the show’s curators. They will be joined by an advertising luminary whose name will be announced soon. Finally, the 2009 show will hang adland’s artistry side-by-side with Slade’s finest in a move to expose the fine art school’s fresh talent to the commercials industry whilst providing young inspiration to advertising artists.
Ewan MacLeod, Golden Square’s executive producer, said: “Each year the show gets stronger and stronger. But this is the first time that we’ve had such tangible connections with the art establishment. It’s exciting to see Square Art grow into a fully paid-up member of the art world and give the commercials industry the artistic recognition it deserves.”
Submissions are free and open to anyone who works in the commercials industry. Deadline for entries is 1st November 2009. For more submissions information email Karen Scott on karens@goldensq.com or go to http://www.goldensq.com/squareArt
