Call for Submissions
The Hollow Earth Gallery is an annex space to Also As Well Too Artist Book Library in Winnipeg. This closet area can be used as wall space or an immersive environment. Artists are invited to make a submission that works with the parameters and quirks of the space. Spill-out potential includes windows that may be utilized for indoor or outdoor viewing. A full description and a link to photos of the space can be found below.
The work should relate in some way to the concept of artist books, multiples, or text. Local artists are welcome to set up the space as they see fit. Artists sending their work from outside of Winnipeg should include detailed installation instructions for the Artist Book Librarian.
