Call For Artists
Deadline for submissions: 16 June 2021

FUBAR Collective presents: The Absurd.
 
                        
We are a collective of three artists known as FUBAR (F*cked Up Beyond All Recognition) who create & exhibit alternative conceptual art.
We are inviting UK-based artists to respond to the theme of ‘The Absurd’, to participate in a group show at The Crypt Gallery, London.

The theme is open to interpretation & selection will focus on conceptual and alternative arts of all mediums.
 
Absurd  .  Absurdism  .  Absurdity

We aim to create a varied, visually stimulating and engaging event that ignites discussion, and unites artist and audience. 
 
The exhibition will take place The Crypt Gallery, London. The Crypt of St Pancras Parish Church in Euston, London was designed and used for coffin burials from 1822 to 1854. In 2002 the Crypt became a gallery space and is now a popular venue hosting a year-round programme of art exhibitions, providing an intensely atmospheric backdrop. 
 
You can take a 3D tour of the gallery here: Crypt Gallery Tour

To respect the space as a burial site & an active place of worship artwork must not be deemed to be pornographic, abusive or relating to the occult.   

Please be aware that the crypt is not heated, therefore paper-based artworks could be affected by the damp environment.


Accessibility: Regrettably, there is no wheelchair access into The Crypt Gallery.  There are steep uneven stone steps with handrail, leading down into the gallery. The floor of the gallery is uneven stone & can become slippery in wet weather.
