Cley Contemporary Art Exhibition presented by North Norfolk Exhibition Project : Cley 20 Nowhere

Call to Artists
Cley 20 nowhere
Thursday 2 July – Sunday 2 August 2020
Curator: Amanda Geitne
r
​Submission deadline 2 December 2019


nowhere
not in or to anyplace, not anywhere – nowhere is now here
For both natives and newcomers, it is possible to feel defined not by where you are now, but by where you have been, by your other places. Nowhere is not this or any place – or perhaps we live in the middle of it. Close by, under the bridge in Wiveton or along Nowhere Lane, you might be ‘going nowhere’. 

Cley 20 nowhere embraces work that signals our psychological spaces, exhibited here temporarily, but ultimately belonging everywhere and nowhere – work that brings our attention firmly back to the now here.

Artists with a connection to Norfolk are invited to make new work for the exhibition. We encourage proposals from across all disciplines, offering artists the chance to challenge, develop and expand their practice. nowhere is curated across three venues, providing contexts for a wide range of ideas, approaches and installations, from the intimate and small-scale to the monumental. 

Cley Church offers the space for large-scale 2D and 3D, sound and performance works and opportunities to hang work in the volume of the space, exploiting the natural light from the windows. Work proposed must be installed so as to cause no hindrance to the running of a living church. Building on previous exhibitions, we are keen to show work in the church yard. This work must survive the month outdoors in all weathers and provide no risk to the fabric of the church or visitors moving through the site.

The Norfolk Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre attracts thousands of visitors to explore this exceptional landscape. Artists are encouraged to consider this and the wildlife (including migratory birds) that people come to observe
​
Work for magnificent Cley beach must meet the challenges of this exposed landscape. Artists proposing work for the beach should have a working knowledge of health and safety requirements and recent experience of showing work outdoors. Work installed on the beach will need to be discussed and agreed with NWT re possible H&S and wild life issues (no mirrors, reflective surfaces or ‘flapping’ materials).
Proposals should consist of an artist’s statement of up to 400 words and up to 3 images of existing work. Please provide a close-up detail image if you think it would help to communicate material or surface qualities. 
Cley Contemporary is an annual open submission contemporary art exhibition in and around the village of Cley-next-the-Sea in North Norfolk

The exhibition will be open daily 10am-5.30pm from Thursday 2 July to Sunday 2 August 2020, showing work over artists including paintings, sculptures, textiles, ceramics and installations in five locations: St Margaret's Church, the beach and Norfolk Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre on the coast road.

Cley Contemporary is a unique opportunity for Norfolk-based artists to make and exhibit site-specific work and for visitors to see new, and original work set in the fabulous landscape of the North Norfolk marshes and coastline.

Ebb and Flow by architect group Studio Hark for Cley 18 photgraph by Matthew Cooper
​A photo of Studio Hark’s Cley 18 project Ebb & Flow has been published in the Eastern Daily Press. The photo, by award-winning photographer Matt Cooper, shows the two timber pavilions set against a dramatic sky and was printed as part of the newspaper’s ‘iwitness24’ feature. 

The project is a first for the team of young architecture students; Rachel Braude, Jack Cripps, Guiseppe Ferrigno and Henri Lacoste; who used local materials for the construction. They sourced timber from local wood merchant, Thaxters of Holt; reeds from Wiveton based reed-cutter Tony Hoare; and filled gabions with shingle from Cley beach.

Ebb & Flow focuses on the notion of perspective and viewpoint, while also considering sensory experience; human interaction; and the connection between distance and clarity. The form of the pavilions amplifies both view and sound, whereby the orientation of the two shell like structures to both land and sea creates two distinctly contrasted environments.

The project has been very well received by visitors to the art festival, locals, beach goers and dog walkers alike. We hope you too will enjoy Ebb & Flow and the other works on show at Cley 18!
