As part of LOOK Photo Biennial 2019, Chapter 02: TRANSLATE / TRANSITION, Open Eye Gallery are looking for photographic work that relates to ideas of multi-nationality and exchange. With conversation at the core of LOOK Photo Biennial, each edition of LOOK will be produced with an exchange country; this year, that country is China.

As well as opportunities to exhibit, we would be open to hearing proposals about hosting related events, such as talks or workshops. The selected artists will be showing as part of group exhibitions at various non-traditional gallery venues across Liverpool and Birkenhead as part of one large satellite programme.

Successful artists will be responsible for the production and installation of their work in conversation with the Open Eye Gallery team.  All artists selected for exhibition will be featured in the LOOK Photo Biennial 2019 programme brochure and promoted via social media. If you have a project that relates to these themes we would love to hear from you. The deadline for submissions is 30 June.

Chapter 2 of LOOK Photo Biennial 2019 runs from 17 October — 21 December.
