Cube 625

2008 24HR Art members exhibition

The 2008 24HR Art members exhibition is named after a box, the Cube 625 (height 625mm length 625mm width 625mm). There is no set theme for this year’s show, simply that we want to challenge member’s to come up with innovative concepts on how to utilise the box. Paint it, animate it, sculpt it, slice it, destroy it, wear it, or jump on it. Works can be 2D, 3D or multi media works, no holes barred, however works cannot be any larger than a flattened Cube 625 box. To be part of the Cube 625 annual member’s exhibition please call into 24HR Art to collect your box.

Gallery opening hours to collect boxes: Wed - Fri 10am - 4pm, Saturday 10am - 2pm. The Member's Show will open on 24 October. Completed Works will need to be in by 13 October.
