A bit of background
The first MOMA Venue - which is a museum gallery that takes the form of a book sculpture - is currently being built by founding artist, David Rose, in collaboration with fellow art students at TAFE NSW. This Venue is called MOMA I. There will be two exhibitions in this mobile gallery: "358" and "People in Places". We're looking for expressions of interest from artists who would like to exhibit in the former.

The Exhibition
The "358 Bus Route Exhibition" will feature work from artists who live on the bus route that runs between Macksville and Bellingen in NSW, Australia. We want the show to reflect the people who live here, the environment and the relationship of the two. We want to celebrate diversity and connection, country and culture.

About your contributions

 * 1) They will need to be donated and become a permanent part of the Museum of Moving Art's 358 Collection. When the book-sculpture is finished, it will be sent out into the world to go on it's own journey (being cared for by Honorary Curators along the way).
 * 2) 2D works can be on paper, fabric or any other flat material that can be either (1) stuck on to a page, (2) be placed in a pocket on a page, or (3) can be an actual full page itself.
 * 3) The pages are 485mm tall and 395 wide and have been sized to allow works A3 and smaller to be stuck on them. They will have 7 evenly spaced holes down the left side (which will form the spine of the book) and be bound in by thread like the single page method shown in the YouTube video below.
 * 4) You can make a whole page if you like, just be aware that holes will need to be made along the left side of the page and stitching as shown in the video below.
 * 5) 3D works necessarily need to be quite small....[more info soon]
 * 6) Digital works are a possibility and could be included on a USB stick housed in the 3D box section at the back of the book-sculpture.

How the Book will be Bound
The book will be bound in the single page technique shown on Sea Lemon's YouTube Video, except ours will have seven evenly spaced holes instead of 2 groups of three as shown in her example.

Style, Media & Themes
All styles and media are welcome, but copies/prints are not acceptable - only originals. If your piece somehow relates (or reflects), the country, people and culture around the 358 bus route, then it most likely will be acceptable. We are certainly working to be inclusive and reaching out to all sections of the communities in the area.
