Call to Artists London: Art Crawl Campaign: The first stroke of a new movement.

Exhibitions in London’s most excellent bars and pubs. 

For release in:  Late July / Early August

Comuniart has organised 3 trails of exhibitions in over 20 pubs and bars across Camden, Islington and the East End in

order to celebrate emerging artists and make their work more accessible across the community.  From the 18^th of

August till the 18^th of September. To embark upon the Camden trail, start at the the Lockside Lounge and pick up a

free map, in Islington start at the Kings Head Theatre Pub,in the East End, start at the Queen of Hoxton.  

Comuniart is not just an organisation; it is a movement: Our aim is to change the way people regard their local art

scene by making art more accessible: encouraging the public to take a more creative approach to life by incorporating

the work and skills of artists into their homes, businesses and personal lives. Whether its commissioning a portrait,

turning a past adventure into a personalised illustrated book, or having a mural painted on the wall, these are just some

of the infinite ways in which art can be used to enrich life. 

We believe this movement should begin in Britain’s great unifying institution: the pub. What better place to expose fresh,

affordable work to wider audiences while simultaneously communicating our message that enjoying art need not be

limited to spectating and purchasing but can be something that can be integrated into daily life in practical and exciting ways.

“Consumerism and mass culture have imposed a homogeny across society that can only be dissolved by the creative

efforts of its members.” – Justin Agius, Director.

Notes to editor:

Each pub will have its own opening show: some of these will involve live music, live art etc. These will make good

photo opportunities. Interviews are also welcome.

For more information please contact Justin Agius.

Synthetic Biology is an emerging area of research, which applies engineering principles to biology. It promises new drugs and materials for medical applications, new routes to make biofuels and chemicals and enable the building of novel genomes and cells. It could have profound implications for the way we perceive and use living things.

Synthesis will be an intensive exchange laboratory for artists, designers, synthetic biologists, engineers, and others from relevant disciplines, collaboratively exploring synthetic biology's ideas and techniques and its social and cultural implications. The exchange laboratory will be devised and led by scientists including Prof John Ward (UCL) in collaboration with artist/designers Oron Catts (SymbioticA UWA/Royal College of Art) and Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg (Synthetic Aesthetics). The exchange process is intended to explore and challenge the notions of synthetic biology, the level of control and manipulation of living systems, the application of engineering logic, and the social and cultural dimensions of synthetic biology; with the hope to inspire proposals for future projects from all participants.

Evening seminars and events during the week will broaden the exchange with the public.

Synthesis is organised by The Arts Catalyst with UCL and Synthetic Aesthetics. It is funded by a Wellcome Trust Arts Award, with support from The Arts Catalyst (Arts Council England funded), the SynBion network (funded by BBSRC and EPSRC), SymbioticA (The University of Western Australia) and Synthetic Aesthetics (funded by EPSRC and the National Science Foundation).

Further labs are intended in Edinburgh, Stanford, US, and Perth, Australia.
