 Public Pages 
 
 
 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
 
  
 
 Public Pages is an exhibition of Text Art and Visual Poetry bringing together
 contributions from poets, artists and makers of works which explore the visual
 and cultural impact of the sign and the slogan in public space. Designed as a
 complement to the academic conference Poetry and Public Language, this
 exhibition will show works which engage with the placement and displacement of
 text on the page, that articulate the two-dimensional surface, that integrate
 visual and textual elements in a composition and consider the page as a public
 space, addressing a public and entering into public debate.
 
  
 
 Public Pages is curated by Mark Leahy
 
  
 
 DATES: 26 March -8 April, 2007
 
 Opening reception Friday 30 March
 
  
 
 The exhibition invites responses from poets, artists, writers, makers, to the
 possibilities of the restrictions of a one-page work. The works will be
 published in digital form on the exhibition website, and a selection will be
 printed as larger scale works (up to A0 size) to be shown in the gallery spaces
 of the Portland Square Building at Plymouth University.
 
  
 
 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
 
  
 
 Submissions are requested for an exhibition of one page visual textual works
 that will be shown in conjunction with the conference Poetry and Public
 Language, at Portland Square Building, Plymouth University and online at
 www.peninsulaarts.org.uk
 
  
 
 Works are welcomed that engage with the placement and displacement of text on
 the page, that articulate the two-dimensional surface, that integrate visual and
 textual elements in a composition, and consider this page a public space, as
 addressing a public, or entering into public debate. 
 
  
 
 Submissions should be sent in the form of PDF documents of one page (or in files
 which may be converted to this format). Works will be published on the
 exhibition website. A selection will be printed in poster form for exhibition in
