Tate Britain’s current exhibition is The Vorticists: Manifesto For A Modern World. We haven’t had a chance to see it yet but we’re definitely going to check it out before it closes on 4th September. The exhibition ‘celebrates the full electrifying force and vitality of this short-lived but pivotal modernist movement that was based in London but international in make-up and ambition’. Adopting the spirit of Blast – the art movement’s short-lived journal launched by Wyndham Lewis – Tate and Creative Review have teamed up to invite submissions on the themes of ‘Blast’ and ‘Bless’. The entries are currently available to view on the Blast/Bless Tumblr site and will be projected at Tate Britain during the upcoming Creative Review ‘Tweetup’ (apologies for the use of such a cringe-inducing word) on the 21st July.

We were asked by CR to get involved and were more than happy to oblige. Never ones to shy away from a bit of controversial subject matter, our contribution can be seen below.

There are some great submissions on the site already, including work from our friends Johanna Basford, Laura Barnard and Greig Anderson from Effektive. You can check out more on the Tumblr site or, if you’re following the excellent Creative Review Twitter feed, come along on the 21st and see them displayed in all their glory – we’ll be there.

Thanks to Neil at CR for asking us to get involved and thanks to you lot for reading.

Over and out.
