OPEN CALL (London only)

NOW OR NEVERLAND

This second annual On The Fly Art Fair is an open invitation for artists to conceive,
make, and display works of art within the span of 24 hours. To ensure
the spontaneous and challenging nature of the project, each artist is
presented with a mystery set of compulsory gallery-issued materials
to produce the final piece. The resulting exhibition will present an
integration of media and diversity of artists from contrasting levels
of skill and profession. This year's fair is inspired by a rococo sense
of artificiality, indulgence, fantasy, and game-playing.

{The Rococo style of art emerged in France in the early 18th century as a continuation
of the Baroque style, but in contrast to the heavier themes and darker
colors of the Baroque, the Rococo was characterized by an opulence,
grace, playfulness, and lightness. Rococo motifs focused on the carefree
aristocratic life and on lighthearted romance rather than heroic battles
or religious figures; they also revolve heavily around nature and exterior
settings.}
