Part of FutureEverything 2010
Exhibition opportunity – call for work…
Deadline for submissions: 4 April 2010

Blank Media Collective is seeking work for an innovative and exciting exhibition in conjunction with easaHQ, Manchester and FutureEverything 2010. Unbuilt will be a platform to highlight the work of non-practicing architects.

Almost a decade ago, undergraduates commenced architecture degrees amid a booming economic climate. Now, as students graduate into a recession and as architecture has taken the biggest hit of any professional group, Blank Media Collective want to curate a show of exciting work by emerging architecture talent at easaHQ, Manchester. We will have an opening party promoting and celebrating your creativity and it will be your opportunity to get your work out there in an interesting and exciting format… however the twist is that we only want to see the work of those graduates who have not yet gained relevant employment.

We will be holding an optional drop-in session on Monday 29 March, 3-7pm at easaHQ. The curators for this exhibition will be available to answer any questions, talk about your work and document any pieces that you may wish to submit.
