CIRCUS OF DESIRE -- OPEN CALL --

"People are looking for an experience that goes by many names: the zone of the athlete, the inner bliss of a religious person. For some, it's a Calgon moment, when you slip into a warm bath and go 'Ahhhh.' I call it the State of O, for optimal state of mind.”
Melinda Davis, founder and CEO of the Next Group


"Consumer products, which enable this differentiation on a mass scale, are what make a mass society possible. To argue against a consumer society is to argue against a mass society. And to argue against a mass society is to dispute the legitimacy of the modern world as such."
Peter Goldman


"Current society is obsessed with being authentic."

Boy George


We are looking for artworks, videos, performances, music, texts that deal with desire.
We are interested in the exploration of our own desires in relation to the fantasies of consumer culture.
Works that reveal, embaress, criticise. The exhibition is going to be shown at the Hillhead Street Project space,
1-2 34 Hillheadstreet, Glasgow on the 27th of March.

Please submit your work before the 8th of March to hillheadstreet@googlemail.com,
