100sqft Uk Launch

Back to Square One: 100sqft Art Exhibition returns to show in London following New Orleans Show.


100sqft London – Cholmeley Boys Club, Dalston
Launches Saturday 27th November 7pm -2am with Bar & Entertainments run by 'Our Friends Eclectic'
Exhibition open: November 28 – Dec 2, 2pm - 8pm


The first international 100sqft art exhibition which launched in New Orleans on October 23rd 2010, returns to show in London from the 27th November.

The exhibition, curated by Leytonstone artist Carne Griffiths, brings together an eclectic range of work from 100 British and American artists.

100sqft is an exhibition which aims to distinguish itself from other art exhibitions by being completely non discriminatory, there are no submission restrictions except that this size of the work must be 1sqft and entries are encouraged from artists with no formal training.

Artwork is displayed in a 10'x10' grid formation and each artists chooses where they want to place their work in the grid on the 100sqft website. Joining the exhibition is as easy as sending in a 1000 pixel square image of the work via email, then delivering the original in time for the gallery launch. This simple but innovative process brings together a diverse range of work – be it digital prints, mixed media collages, oil-paintings or low-relief sculptures – with each square commanding its own visual presence, and the 10-foot high grid an impactful whole.

The 100sqft Exhibition formed part of Arts After Dark in New Orleans, an evening event celebrating the rebirth and creative vitality of New Orleans including the work of thirteen exciting artists from the UK and USA and music .From the UK; Dan Baldwin, Carne Griffiths, Colin Hampden-White, Rob Reed and Shruti Thaker. From the USA; Dave Greber, Viorel Hodre, Steve Martin, George McClements, Valorie Polmer, Aaron Reichert, Thomas Williams and Luba Zygarewicz.

With new artists signing up in New Orleans during a 2 week visit including gallery owner Steve Martin, Garffiti Artist Rex Dingler of Nola Risin and the Notorious Grey Ghost - responsible for overpainting the work of Banksy in New Orleans the grid now returns to London with an eclectic range of work from 100 artists.
