Open Call for Artists

Metropolis Contemporary invites artists of any medium to take part in the Cheap and Low

exhibition.

Cheap and Low illuminates class struggle within art production. It aims to take a step against

canonical art, distance itself from the traditional oil tempera of the Masters, and position

Cheap and Low art in the epicentre of the contemporary art world.

Artists are not thematically tied to Cheap and Low, as long as there is an indication of

accessible and affordable use of products. We encourage artworks that attempt to

democratise art and whose use of materials responds directly to working-class art.

Metropolis Contemporary aims to promote emerging underrepresented artists and fight

The call is directed at artists that identify as queer and who work with any art medium (visual artists, filmmakers, writers, performers).

The Exhibition:

“Glitter in my wounds” takes its title from the homonym poem by queer author CAConrad. (Read it here)

The exhibition wants to be a celebration of queer artists and activists and to raise awareness of the discrimination and oppression that queer people still face in our society.
