Sun, 19 Oct 2008 15:34:20 +0200

On Wednesday 15th October Art Not Oil made it's first visit to the National Theatre to highlight Shell's sponsorship of the autumn production of Oedipus.

Shell is sponsoring the National Theatre's new production of 'Oedipus', and, unsurprisingly, Art Not Oil is preparing a response on various fronts. We're asking people if they're up for making an artwork of some kind as a response This could be an image, song, film or poem to appear on our website, or to be printed on a postcard or something similar. We're open to ideas. (Unfortunately, we aren't able to pay for your work, but we have no wish to possess it!) If this is of interest, we'd love to see it as soon as possible, as 'Oedipus' runs until January 2009 only.
