PRIMARY – Extended & Improved
We have some great news about our PRIMARY phonography exhibition (find out all the details here) that we can now announce:
- The deadline for submissions has now been extended to Sunday 4th March. We have had some incredible submissions but want to set aside more time to make the exhibition something really special.
- The competition is now open to up to 10 submissions from each individual. With the ability to capture many photos on your phone over the next two months we we want you to not feel restricted to just three. The same rules apply about the photos conforming to compositions using the primary colours though. If you have already submitted feel free to send more photos over as and when you please.
- The exhibition will be hosted by Albert Road’s own Bonzo Studio who are also partnering up with us in the creation of the exhibition space. More news on this soon!
- Finally, we will be running a competition as part of the exhibition where the best three photos submitted will win some incredible prizes. We will be announcing the prizes available very soon but got to say, these will be the best prize haul we have ever offered.
- We will be putting together a poster for the exhibition that will be on sale on the opening night. The poster will feature some of the best submissions and all profits from the sales will go to a local charity (details to follow soon). Due to this we need to say that any photos submitted to PRIMARY will involve you giving us permission to use them for commercial purposes, if you do not want your photo used in this way simply let us know via email.
Well, that is it for now! We really hope to drum up as much coverage locally for PRIMARY in the next couple of months so if you could Facebook/Tweet/+1 about the exhibition we would really appreciate it. We would love this exhibition to be a real reflection of the whole population of Portsmouth with everyone taking part and feeling involved.
maybe its the job of PCM to educate people who ‘clearly know little’? That way we all learn.
Jay Raynor on February 18th, 2010Retracted. It was more about the intro really, using Banksy as a lead into the story.
To most people he’s the ONLY street artist out there, and we all know there’s a lot better work than Banksy out there, and the PCM are already educating with this article.
Awesome work.
Tristan on February 18th, 2010Even I know he aint the only street artist out there. Only last night I witnessed a youth daub a wall with an image of a male member. Not a detailed rendering but anatomically correct nontheless.
Jay Raynor on February 18th, 2010As one of the artists involved I can vouch for the fact that several of us were deeply disappointed by the lazy journalism of the article, particularly the association with ‘Banksy’. We have received nothing but positive responses from passers-by over the last 3 weekends while we have been working. I strongly recommend a wander along both Pitt Street and Hope Street to see what all the fuss is about. These guys are not your average graffers and taggers.
