open call exhibition opportunity for nz women artists at te uru

OPEN CALL EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITY FOR NZ WOMEN ARTISTS at TE URU

In 1993, the Association of Women Artists initiated a celebratory exhibition of postcards to mark the 100-year anniversary of the winning of emancipation by New Zealand women. The exhibition was held in 1996 at what was then called Lopdell House Gallery (now Te Uru). A small number of boxed sets of the postcards were made available to collectors.

Now, in 2018, in the 125th anniversary year of that achievement, Te Uru and representatives of the association are organising a presentation of the original postcards - and inviting a new generation of women artists to create postcards to show alongside the original set. We invite you to participate in this exhibition.

If you wish to be part of this event, please reply to James Anderson at Te Uru (james@teuru.org.nz) with your current postal address. You will then be sent two pre-printed postcards on archival paper for you to create an image in any manner that still permits postage - woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, photographs, xerox, laser prints, letter press, wire mesh, collage, embossing etc.
The exhibition will take place from 8 September to 28 October 2018. Postcards will need to be received by Te Uru by 31 August 2018.

The aims of the project from 1993-96 remain unchanged: To strengthen the voice of women's common concerns, to acknowledge the universality of their gender, and to generate images from the present that will touch future generations.

By acknowledging the common concerns of women, this project honours past endeavours and supports future generations.

All postcards from the 1996 and 2018 exhibition will be archived as a boxed set at the National Archives in Wellington as part of the formal winding up of the Association.

Please share this email with any women artists who you think may like to contribute to this project.

We look forward to hearing from you.
With best regards,
Iona Matheson, Te Uru
