Crown Shyness - London, Sept 10/Oct 8, 2021

Sometimes trees can be a little too respectful of one another’s boundaries, sometimes they just stop growing when they get too close. This phenomenon is called Crown Shyness — when the tops of individual trees avoid touching in the forest canopy, creating separation lines and boundaries in the sky. Researchers found that during calm conditions the branches interlocked, ‘like loosely fitting pieces of a jigsaw puzzle’. When the wind gusts the branches, they can often touch and become intertwined.

Prompt

ICON | OPEN CALL

What makes an icon? How do we make ourselves and our work known? 

 

While most of the time artists are  focusing just on the actual work we should not forget how important is the artist itself. 

 

If we take Pablo Picasso as an example one can realise how much he was working on his own image and how this impacted his famous legacy. 

The purpose of this exhibition is to connect artists with a wider audience and to lay the path for what can be a successful career. 

 

And to match the theme of this exhibition we have prepared a big surprise...!!!

 

We got full copyrights to use Pablo Picasso on the cover of the catalog for the upcoming exhibition- “ICON”

Licence number 260,208,761.
