The London Biennale will be entirely artists-generated. It will be open to any artist anywhere in the world. There will be no limitation of age, sex (gender), nationality, religion or race.
An artist can participate in the Biennale by simply sending three copies of a photograph (about postcard size) of him / herself or of proxy person with an arrow (of any size and of any materials) inscribed with the words London Biennale 2000 and the person's name (the photograph to be taken in front of the Eros statue at Piccadilly Circus in London) - to me at my address in Bracknell: 11 Naseby, Hanworth, Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 7HD. There is no registration fee.
Every artist will be responsible for his / her participation in the London Biennale - finding the venue for showing the work, funding, transport and publicity etc. Every artist will be encouraged to document his / her participation in the London Biennale and the resulting documentation will (i hope) be published in book form and as a cd rom the year after the London Biennale.
The London Biennale will take place from May 1st to August 21st 2000, all over London. During that time, artists will gather every Monday evening from 6 pm to midnight, in front of the Eros statue at Piccadilly Circus in London, to inform the public of their exhibitions and events, by distributing arrows printed with relevant information (dates, times, bus routes and tube stops) to interested members of the public. The art loving public will be encouraged to bring flowers (real, dried, virtual, artificial, etc.) to give the artists those works have given them joy. We will gather all these flowers in one large bouquet and float the bouquet on the river Thames from Tower Bridge on the last day of the London Biennale.
