colour chart project

Thank you for your interest in CPP Hounslow’s touring exhibition programme, in partnership with Hounslow Library Service. We are currently inviting submissions from individual artists or collectives to propose a project for creating a colour chart inspired by the London Borough of Hounslow. This could be a cultural chart, a geographical one, or based on a specific theme such as food or plants. Whatever form the final work takes, it should reflect Hounslow’s diverse communities. 

The project should be researched ‘on the ground’ in Hounslow in consultation with the Hounslow Exhibitions Group and local communities. This could take the form of surveys, interviews, field work, workshops or any other format the artist might find useful.

Responses to this theme can be made in any 2-D print media. Work can be either hand or digital origination, with the final outcome being digitised and printed for display. Work should also be adaptable to be shown on other forms of signage such as digital display boards, banners, posters, or postcards.

This brief has been devised in consultation with the CPP Hounslow Visual Arts Programme Exhibitions Group, which includes library staff and members of the Hounslow Community. The Group is supported by a Visual Arts Producer.

The exhibition selected from the responses to this brief will tour six of Hounslow’s Libraries for up to two years. The selected artist will need to be prepared to work with the Library Service, Hounslow Exhibitions Group and CPP Hounslow staff in developing and delivering the exhibition.
