Applicants will be required to try and make me laugh. This could be in the form of a simple joke, a surreal observation or a sketch, but to name a few. The only stipulation is that it must be language based \u2013 anything image based will not be considered. All successful applicants will be notified within one month of the exhibition opening, where they will receive an instruction. \n\nWith each new boomerang that arrives to the exhibition space, a gallery assistant will be required to carefully unpackage the boomerang and place it on top of its box, where they will remain static until the end of the show. Each boomerang will be titled using the sender\u2019s initial \u2018amusement\u2019.\n\nUltimately, I think this show would be a reaction to the very strange, often fraught nature of the \u2018Open Call\u2019. Additionally, I believe it could challenge the conventions of the \u2018Group Show\u2019 and the notions of how sculpture can be considered.","space":"A large open space, preferably with high ceilings and natural light. I cannot give specific dimensions, as I am uncertain how many people are likely to participate in the project. \n\nNB The video below is an example of a previous performance work of mine. As the project I am proposing with is unrealised, I could not provide any imagery to accompany the text!","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/olivermartyn","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Oliver","surname":"Martyn","email":"oliveredwardmartyn@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"519256976","address":"56 Bayham Road","city":"Sevenoaks","nacionality":"British","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1995-12-04T00:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1995-12-04T00:00:00.000Z","telephone":"07518339906","web":"www.olivermartyn.com"}
