  •  1-3 examples of your previous work, written, photographic, audio and video documentation encouraged in links to websites
  • A current Curriculum Vitae

Email your application as a single pdf document in the following format:  surname_first name_Unbound.pdf to Dr. Natalie Smith: natalie.smith@otago.ac.nz

Proposals must be submitted by the deadline: 23 March 2018 (11:59 pm). Proposals submitted after this time will not be considered. Artists will be notified of acceptance by 9 April 2018.

The curators with support from Otago Polytechnic will provide gallery hire, opening costs, a catalogue publication, opening night invitation, and an exhibition programme.
