We want to invite artists based in London, and others around the world if interested, to participate in the Puzzle Project UK. This initiative started in Japan and the aim is to make it grow and travel around different cities across the globe. In this project participants will create art on the surface of a plain puzzle piece. Any media/technique is accepted. Subsequently the artworks will be curated all together to build up one puzzle. Only 56 pieces will be commissioned through the London office in 2008: 28 by invitation and 28 by submission. The rest will come from the Japan Office and 10 more will be created in a workshop that will take place in London.
As a result, around 130 jigsaw puzzle pieces will come together into one single puzzle during the exhibition at The Wall in The Gallery at Willesden Green in London. Artists from Japan, the UK and other countries will blur geographic, linguistic, religious, cultural and even aesthetic boundaries by sharing the same space and time through their artworks.Consequently the pieces will show a series of connections and disconnections among each other but never without stop belonging to one single puzzle piece; just like it happens in urban centres, where among strangers and friends we built our own city and life stories. This process is full of relations and non-relations as well as order and chaos.
The project will also explore and experiment with the duality between the visual and the text. Artists will articulate a word they associate to the project or their work but they would not reveal which element motivated their choice (the title and the word do not have to be the same). These words will help to outline a narrative among the pieces and reactions to the project.How can you participate?- An entry fee of £ 14 applies (plus posting charges if you want the plain puzzle piece to be delivered and/or returned to your address).- Artists can choose to sell or not to sell their artworks: Puzzle Project UK does not charge a commission fee for the sale of artworks.- If you want to participate and know in detail the terms of the project please request the entry form by e-mailing to:puzzle.project@yahoo.co.uk*Please write ‘Entry Form request’ in the subject.We invite you to come back to this site every now and then to find updates
