S12 Gallery open call for graduates for Young & Loving exhibition

Norway’s S12 Gallery is inviting artists who have graduated within the last five years to apply for the ‘Young & Loving!’ exhibition.

The show has been held annually since the gallery opened in 2007, up to 2019, but had to be suspended in the last few years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Relaunching in 2023, the exhibition will present the work of artists who have graduated in the last five years, of any age, from all over the world.

‘Young & Loving!’ is a tongue-in-cheek translation of ‘ung og lovende/young and promising’, where the gallery’s definition of being young and promising is anyone who has graduated from a university programme within the last five years and who shows their love for the material by exploring the many ways of working with glass. The show aims to shed new light on how people perceive the medium of glass. This exploratory approach to glass as an artistic expression is an important feature of the exhibition concept.

Artists working with glass alone, or in combination with other materials, can apply.

Proposals must be submitted by 15 February 2023.

The show will take place between May and August 2023.

S12 Gallery is at Botelabo 2, 5003 Bergen, Norway.
