The COAL Art & Environment prize was launched in 2010 by the French association COAL - the coalition for art and sustainable development.

Via an Open Call, the prize rewards 10,000 Euros to an artistic project about the environment and we are proud to announce that two WOOLOO.ORG artists made it to the final short-list this year.

Congratulations to Andrea Polli and her project Particle Falls (in collaboration with Chuck Varga), as well as to Erik Sjodin with his project Super Meal.

We look forward to following your work!

WOOLOO IN THE 6TH MOMENTUM BIENNIAL

We just returned from the opening weekend of the Momentum Biennial, held in Moss, Norway. Wooloo was presenting our work "Two Years' Untouched Garden" - a proposal to leave the garden outside one of the main exhibition venues fallow for two years, from this biennial until the opening of the next in 2013.

However, the very thought of this experiment has caused intense debate and protests in local Norwegian media, which has now resulted in a political decision to ban our work.

The grass outside the historical villa at Gallery F15 will continue to be cut each Friday.

365 DAYS OF PRINT

365 Days Of Print is an ongoing Open Call with the goal of remixing the newspaper and engage in dialogue with diverse artistic mediums.

Over the course of 2011, 100+ artists will use the newspaper as fodder to illustrate, sew, draw, paint, sculpt and photograph. Sam Hickson, Holly Pitre, Peter Jacobs and Osvaldo Cibils are among the WOOLOO.ORG artists selected for participation so far.

We look forward to following the development of the project!

WOOLOO IN DAKAR

Wooloo just returned from Dakar, Senegal where we took part of the exhibition "Faites comme chez vous" at the newly opened Raw Material Company.

The exhibition explores issues of hospitality at an individual, institutional and national level, and touches touch upon themes of human migration, colonial heritage and international conflict.
