503 - SB1 - THE 27 CLUB (01.03.2018)

The 27 Club is a celebration of the music created by those who died at the age of 27, including greats such as Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse.

The Brief:

Create artwork for one of the musicians in the 27 club (list attached). This brief is open and is a chance to be as creative as you like, experimenting with different mediums. Our only restriction is that the size has to be 27 x 27 cm. Think about the focus for the piece, could it be about a musician as a whole or focus in on a specific phase of their life? For example it could be Jimi Hendrix before Woodstock or Brian Jones’s response to Sgt. Pepper. You could even focus in on a specific song like ‘Light My Fire’ by The Doors for Jim Morrison. Find some hidden gems, but please ensure your entry is respectful as the subject could be viewed as sensitive in nature.

Submissions:

All work submitted will be presented to a panel of judges, with the shortlisted pieces being displayed in the exhibition and used within a small publication.

Deliverables:

27 x 27cm artwork.
A short rationale for the piece.
