Unrealised Potential

Unrealised Potential is an art project as exhibition which will allow gallery-goers the opportunity to become producers themselves by purchasing the right to realise a leading artist’s dream project.

The show also includes a number of invited contributions from over seventy other artists, including Richard Wilson, Tom Morton, Cecilia Wee, David Shrigley, Simon Patterson, and many more.

Also of interest is the rather appealing open call for logos.

EDIT: On trundling down to the opening, we were pleasantly surprised to find their site (which we designed for them) on full display on the first floor of the exhibition. The exhibition is well worth a visit (not just for that reason!)

Sam & Lynn of Unrealised Projects (new site was recently completed with the assistance of A to M) are currently in São Paulo, Brazil researching Lei Cidade Limpa, or The Clean City Law, that saw the complete removal of advertising from the city of São Paulo in January 2007.

On a daily basis, they will be uploading snippets of research, found objects, images, meanderings, discussions, and video clips so please have a look at www.unrealisedprojects.org from July 6th – July 10th for ongoing real-time updates!
