Dear friends of EDO,

I would like to firstly introduce myself; I am the Visual Arts director of EDO and co-organiser of our first exhibition called "YES, Bipolar!"

I would like to thank you all for your interest in this great initiative called EDO founded in the loving memory of George Malliaris. I hope through my collaboration with EDO to be able to contribute to the creative side of dealing with Bipolarity. Studies have uncovered the occurrence between extreme creativity and bipolarity; centuries of literature and innumerable studies have supported strong cases relating creativity--particularly in the arts, music and literature--to bipolar disorder.

So it is not strange that EDO has chosen to engage with the arts as part of its practice, and I feel privileged to be running the EDO Visual Arts department.

"YES, Bipolar!" is our first exhibition and it's planned to take place in March 2010 at the main EDO headquarters in Athens, Greece. Through this exhibition we will be exploring the bits of bipolarity through visual art. The call is for submissions from all artists (bipolar and non) who wish to explore bipolarity and create artwork based on this beautiful but painful condition. We are open to almost all mediums of work; painting, sculpture, small scale installations, video, photography, net.art, etc.

Artists will need to email me 1-3 images of the work or plans of the work you wish to exhibit together with a brief description and a CV, my email is eileen.botsford@bipolar.gr . The deadline is December 30th 2009. We will inform successful applicants by January 30th 2010.

More information and the call for submissions can be found at
http://yes.bipolar.gr

Please inform any friends or other artists you may know, and do your best to spread the news of this call in any way you can. Also we have just started to accept donations to cover part of the running costs of the exhibition.

I look forward to receiving your proposals. Enjoy a little video-clip that portrays the many phases of bipolarity! http://is.gd/3y9To

I wish you all a good day!

All the best,

Eileen Botsford

ps. You can make a voluntary donation directly to EDO's Bank account (account: 5026043575594, IBAN: GR38 0172 0260 0050 2604 3575 594, Piraeus Bank, Elliniki Dipoliki Organosi), via paypal (edo@bipolar.gr) or by visiting our offices (Asimaki Fotila 3, Pedion Areos, Athens - Mon + Wed 5:30pm - 8:30pm by telephone appointment only 210-8815970)
