ASTHMA UK INAUGURAL ART EXHIBITION AND AWARD 2007: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
ASTHMA UK
INAUGURAL ART EXHIBITION AND AWARD 2007: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Asthma UK is
creating an exciting new visual art exhibition and award for 2007, supported by
Gavin Turk and Damien Hirst. The exhibition, entitled Deep Inspiration, will be
held at the Jerwood Space, London SE1, in January-February 2007, and an award
will be made to the value of £6,000.
The award is being made in memory of Polly Campbell who died suddenly of asthma
in 2003, a few weeks short of her tenth birthday.
Artwork will be included that, in the opinion of the selectors, demonstrates not
just originality and excellence, but also shows a fundamental understanding of
asthma: the condition; its everyday triggers; the daily life of people with
asthma and their families; or its treatment. The award, to be announced during
the exhibition, will be made to artists whose work contains an original insight
and conveys a powerful message for change about the condition.
Asthma is a serious, widespread but controllable condition. It affects 5.2
million individuals in Britain, many of them young people. Asthma UK is the
only charity dedicated to improving the health and well-being of these people.
