OPEN CALL: Cork Street London

CARRY BACK
some curry
FOR ME

Do you know that one of the most popular foods in London is curry? Mmmhmm. Not bangers-n-mash or blood pudding or spotted dick. Those are just the stereotypes. And although fish ‘n’ chips are still the traditional national food, make room for curry in every variety. You can see for yourself at the opening for this next Call. Take a look…

Updates to the jury list are found here.

Louis Singh says, “St Ives in the 1970s was a somewhat lazier place than today. Late morning deals were customarily made with cigarette in one hand and glass of sherry in the other. Back then my father had the Wills Lane gallery which ensured my mind was constantly flooded with images of the St Ives School as soon as my eyes had opened.

“When I was ten my parents opened the Beaux Arts gallery in Bath which continued to nurture these Cornish roots. These days with a sister gallery in London, minus the sherry, not much has changed. I busy myself by keeping the gallery from growing old by steering some youth and raw contemporary talent, towards its doors.”
