Our latest artist call ‘Extinction’ explores decay, disregard and environmental consequences.
Murze is seeking artists that’s work focuses on the political, social and morality of consumer culture and its environmental impacts.
Embracing new mediums and explorative techniques demonstrating the use of found disregarded materials or focusing on the documentary of decay and disregard of consumer items.
Artwork entered to this open call should demonstrate an understanding of our environmental impact and address consumer culture, and the destruction of planned obsolescence. Either through photography in the form of documentation i.e. exploring the process of consumption, the disregard of valuable materials. Or experimenting with the use of organic, found and reclaimed material, creating artwork that seeks to address consumer culture and climate change.
Artists may send in a portfolio of up to six images for consideration. Selected artists will be featured in issue nine and across our social media.
