Warbling is an artist-run, independent platform that focuses predominantly on organising inclusive pop-up brick-and-mortar exhibitions in London, UK. More information about the project and the artist behind it can be found here.
Each Warbling exhibition open call begins with a title, it is completely up to each artist submitting to consider if and how the title might relate or sit nicely alongside their ongoing practice, your submitted artworks will be taken into consideration within the context of the exhibition as a whole and how they might be read alongside the other participating artists. However, there is no theme per se, the exhibition will have many different threads and ideas running throughout, formed by the submissions received. The title this time will be The Very Hours Pass Unnoticed.
