Open was launched across the UK in January 2013. A call for artists working in any media, it offered an open invitation to share with Artangel and BBC Radio 4 proposals for ground-breaking projects in different sites across the UK.
Open was conceived as an ongoing opportunity and Artangel is now open again to proposals from visual artists, filmmakers, writers, composers, theatre makers, choreographers and producers as well as artists working in the digital space.

Screening & Artist Talk
Whitechapel Gallery, Thursday 16th May, 6pm
Zilkha Auditorium (£4, £3 Concession, £2 Whitechapel Members)
Manick Govinda & David Blandy in conversation at the Whitechapel, 16th May, 2013
David Blandy’s new video work Biter is an Artsadmin Jerwood Commission. It premiered at the Whitechapel Gallery’s Zilka Auditorium. A hip-hop fan since the early 90’s, the work examines how much hip-hop has entered the artist’s unconscious mind. Shot on location at The Freud Museum, Biter will ask questions about identity – how much of the artist’s self is hip-hop? The screening was followed by a talk. Ticket holders were invited to the Arts Café Bar at Toynbee Studios for a vinyl DJ set by Blandy of the tunes referenced in the video.
Biter will also be screened at the launch night of a three-day festival marking the centenary of the publication of Sigmund Freud’s Totem and Taboo at the Freud Museum London, 5-7 July 2013. There will also be a short performance by Blandy.

BACKGROUND
Wednesday 20th Feb - Saturday 23rd Mar 2013
In David Blandy's latest film a pair of figures walk and converse through a series of animated landscapes. The 16-bit representations are of Blandy and his father, John, discussing their respective art practises, wandering past snow covered temples, rainforest and ruined cities, images at once recognisable as the virtual territory of David's practise.
For this exhibition David has commissioned his father to produce a series of pastel landscapes, based on appropriated images. This employment of virtual scenes produced by a third, un-credited maker, is distinctly at odds with John's practice and ethos, however John Blandy has approached this source material meticulously, adapting his normal working methods to produce a series of densely worked images.
