2×2 Part 2 Residency / Exhibition Open Call- Now Accepting Submissions
126 is thrilled to invite applications from established artists within its membership for the second phase of 2×2, a project that teams talented graduates with established or mid-career artists to develop a dual exhibition through collaborative residency. The project will be augmented by a project publication bringing fresh voices to bear on the concerns at the heart of the project.
Part I sees paint graduate Shane Berkery collaborate with photographer Ruby Wallis. Their collaborative residency takes place in April with a dual exhibition in August at 126.
Part II features talented textile graduate Katie Moore. The collaborative residency will take place in July 2016 for an exhibition in October 2016 at 126.
