The Core Gallery and “Bold Tendencies” at South London

Some time ago I came across, whilst browsing, The Core gallery, situated in Deptford, South London, It struck me as a well organized, and well run outfit, recently I made contact with this gallery regarding a submission proposal, and as with all good galleries their program is fully booked way into the future, however unlike most galleries they took the time to respond to my mail, I received a nice note from Artist Rosalind Davis informing me that they were booked out, but she went on to tell me of an open submission that they are running, and attached all the relevant documents, what a refreshing change! and what a show of professionalism on their part. Thank you Rosalind.

The open submission reads like this “Grand and spectacular, Ephemeral or concealed, art qualified and created by daily life, which is based upon the Statement of Intent by Mark Titchner” all good stuff, I shall give it a shot.

Judges will include such notables as Graham Crowley, Matt Roberts, and Kate Jones, Google

them if you don’t already know them, you’ll be surprised, any way to enter cost’s just ten quid, and is only by snail mail, so get a move on.

More info at   [email protected] or have a look at their website.

While you are around and about in South London you can go and visit “Bold Tendencies” which set in a disused multi storied car park in Peckham, (what a fantastic use for this type of building)!
A long, and impressive list of artists are showing their wares, including Rachel Adams, James Balmforth, Nicolas Byrne,and Juliana Cequeira, to name at least some.

Franks Café and the Camparí bar will make a second appearance serving up their delights using the very best summer produce. This will be Bold Tendencies No 4, and is sponsored this year by The Cass Foundation, (well done again, and keep it up, we need you!!)

This program was pioneered by The Hannah Barry Gallery in 2007.

I have checked out the show, which is now running, and its well worth a visit, I plan to go before it ends in September.
