The potential manifestations of artwork are wide ranging, and could include performance, sound, installation, movement/dance, social events, sculptural, public intervention, video, spoken and written work, light works, photography and 2D. They are asking for new work, not an existing body. Artists working in any media are able to apply and they encourage applications from artists at any stage of their career.
