ING Discerning Eye 2015 - exhibition, prizes together with selection


A persuasion of the exhibition past times ane of the selectors inwards 2014 (Mall Galleries)
The Discerning Eye annual exhibition is a exhibit of modest plant independently selected past times half dozen prominent figures from different areas of the fine art world: 2 artists, 2 collectors together with 2 critics. Work is selected from opened upwards submission together with from artists invited past times the private selectors.

Exhibition - Mall Galleries, 12-22 Nov 2015


An exhibition of the travel of selected together with invited artists volition live held at the Mall Galleries in London from Th twelfth until Dominicus 22rd Nov 2015.

It volition include to a greater extent than or less 600 plant across all iii galleries inwards the Mall Galleries. This is a large exhibition together with it gets a lot of visitors.

All selected artists volition live invited to a Private View on Th 12 Nov 2015.

The exhibition is odd due to the nature of the competition.
  • The focus is really much on modest plant - drawings, paintings, fine fine art prints together with sculpture
  • There are half dozen selectors, each of whom curates a modest exhibition of a collection of travel they like. 
  • This so creates a large exhibition made upwards of half dozen smaller exhibitions which reverberate the interests together with tastes of the private selectors.
You tin dismiss read my review of the 2014 exhibition inwards this post Video of the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition 2014 - together with also access my video of the exhibition!
You tin dismiss run into images from together with read my review of the exhibition inwards before years inwards my spider web log posts listed at the terminate of this post.

Selection


Artists frequently recollect of the ING Discerning Eye equally an fine art competition.  In the past, I began to enquiry this notion equally the issue of plant from the opened upwards entry reduced to a quite light-headed level.  For me an fine art contest tin dismiss alone live described equally such if AT LEAST 50% of the plant exhibited brand it via the opened upwards entry. I've been campaigning for some fourth dimension for the per centum of plant which come upwards from the opened upwards exhibition to live made much to a greater extent than explicit.

In 2014, the message finally got through because everything changed - or mayhap to a greater extent than people were maxim the same thing! Anyway the numbers became transparent together with the ration of opened upwards to invited improved enormously!

First the exhibition website makes it really clear that they are committed to taking at to the lowest degree 25% from the opened upwards submission.  That's less than the 50% that I'd similar to run into equally the commitment for this exhibition together with I'd similar to run into this benchmark increased inwards hereafter years to "at to the lowest degree 50%".
The alone restrictions are limitation of size (only modest plant are permitted) together with to direct at to the lowest degree 25% of their department from the opened upwards submission.
Second we forthwith receive got precise figures for the plant together with the exhibitors inwards lastly year's exhibition which rather surprisingly were non available at the fourth dimension of the exhibition (hence my comments inwards my review!):
  • EXHIBITION: 657 plant past times 317 artists inwards the 2014 exhibition
  • OPEN ENTRY: 431 plant (65%) were past times 265 artists (83%) came via from the opened upwards submission. (This represents a meaning an increment on the 40% from the opened upwards entry inwards the 2013 exhibition)
  • INVITED ARTISTS: 226 plant came from artists invited to exhibit past times the curators.
That means
  • the opened upwards entry is going to live dominated past times artists who volition receive got only ane travel accepted (the average 1.6 plant per artist) 
  • the 'artists past times invitation' group are much to a greater extent than probable to receive got multiple plant inwards the exhibition.
I'd advise that's got implications for the issue of plant artists submit equally component of their entry.  You tin dismiss submit upwards to 6 but it's unlikely that yous volition larn to a greater extent than than 2 accepted. I advise those wanting to submit 6 recollect really difficult almost how they hold back if hung equally a group.

The 2015 Panel of Selectors


The 2015 selectors are:
  • ARTISTS (I recollect this yr "designers" mightiness live a to a greater extent than accurate term equally both are commercial artists best known equally designer/owners of their respective pottery together with habiliment businesses - although Nicole Farhi stepped downwardly from her trouble concern a piece back.)
