about the show.
This open-call group exhibition invites artists who’ve faced rejection from other open calls. Its core principle is radical inclusivity - every submission will be accepted until the space is full. The title references the early-2000s anti-piracy ad, Piracy - It’s a Crime, which compared downloading movies to stealing cars.
This exhibition critiques systemic barriers in the art world and opens a space for everyone. It’s an attempt to allow as many artists as space permits to show their work, fully utilising ‘meanwhile space’ whilst defining radical inclusivity in its installation.
