James is a member of the steering committee for the Hostel for Homeless Art (HoHA). HoHA is an artist-run web site established to curate works of visual art and literature which could not otherwise find an audience. To apply for free accommodation in HoHA artists need only demonstrate that the work is unpublishable by any other means – for example by providing multiple rejection letters from galleries or publishers. Applications for accommodation in HoHA will be accepted in early 2012. Expressions of interest in committee membership are also welcomed in early 2012. Committee members will be appointed for a term of one year. Committee members may not show work in HoHA before, during or after their appointment. HoHA opens its doors on 10/11/12. You can follow developments on the HoHA web site.
