Format Collective is (are? is? is.) looking for emerging and developing artists, curators and do-ers to art up our Peel Street gallery.

As of the beginning of last year we’ve been running a zine shop, basement performance space and upstairs gallery out of our permanent shopfront on Peel Street, just off of Hindley.

We’re looking to host between eight and ten exhibitions in the upstairs space, hopefully starting in May.

Send your proposal to contact@format.net.au with “2011 PROPOSAL” in the subject heading. Keep the idea to one A4 page, and be sure to include a contact number and a short bio and/or CV. Examples of work are preferred but not essential.

We’re interested in both group shows and solo exhibitions. The gallery space also includes two modified “change room” cubicles that are ideal for small scale, site-specific projects.

In general, think about audacity, beauty, discord, sex, poos, simplicity, futility, wolves, tiny horses, lols, tiger blood.

The closing date for submissions is FRIDAY 8 APRIL, so get cracking!
