The scattered-site exhibition-event, In Between Zones – A London Art Guerrilla Tour, initiated by Nicole Zihua Zhang, is a research-driven, collaborative art project that unfolds through bold, experimental actions across London. This initiative invites you to amplify and embrace our embodied and differentiated perceptions of “zone” within the fluid, liminal state of the in-between—between zones, between homes, between visibility and the unseen.
Segment I: Call for artists
The project will be implemented at any time and in any location in London.
As the first phase of the project, we are seeking to inspire artist-led proposals in response to the theme “In Between Zones.” This may take the form of an intimate, inner expression of spirituality; a spatial intervention; a micro-scale act of social critique; or a collective gesture of radical care, disruption, or repair. We welcome all artistic practices and intervention strategies— whether situated indoors or in public space, whether unfolding in central London or at its edges, whether emerging in broad daylight or deep into the night.
Segment II: Call for observers
This is a long-term open call.
We cordially invite you to join the In Between Zones author group or our art research group.
Submission Instructions
Submissions from a wide range of medium are encouraged (painting, sculpture, installation, photography, moving image, printmaking, live performance, live music, mixed media, poems, illustrations, etc.)
Your artworks will all be reviewed and accepted according to our exhibition theme. Artists from any background are welcome to submit their works for consideration.
Your name and contact details will be presented at the exhibition venue and in the exhibition handouts, posters and social media.
Each artist can submit an unlimited number of works. If you want to submit multiple works, please include all the work information in the same application form.
Please note that the organiser will not participate in the sale of any artworks, nor will any commission be drawn. If your work is selected, we would like to ask you for the price of the work in order to help you get in touch with potential collectors.
Fees
We aim to provide an ongoing and sustainable platform for artists. There will be no application fee, and we encourage submitted proposals to choose venues that are free of charge. If the chosen site requires a rental fee and the artist wishes to proceed, the cost must be covered by the artist. As the curatorial team, we will support artists in related negotiations and coordination efforts.
