The Spring Session is oriented to the artist who has a body of work and wants to take it to
the next level. The 3 day group editing workshop is dedicated to guiding each participating
artist towards solidfying their body of work through discussions on sequencing, editing and
critiquing.The workshop will be led by a leading arts professional.

After the Editing Workshop, the presentations will be made over a series of 3 days and will
consist of a series of artist lectures, studio visits, publishers who will present their small
presses and also a round table discussion about on-demand publishing.

Finally, the portfolio critiques end the 10 day Session. Based on the idea of the classic portfolio
reviews, the critique structure is a chance for each individual artist to have a conversation
with a group of 4 to 5 arts professionals who have been carefully chosen based on their
expertise in the field.

Call for entries! Blissland Sound & Visual Projects, Berlin

Pre-Post Actions in YouPorn's categories of Sex
Have you got a Smartphone?

Blissland is an Art and New Media Project located in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, run by a collective of artists and musicians.
In the Land of Bliss every single atom is permeated with Art and every month we try to alter the composition by mixing atoms of Sound, Visual and Culture, in order to create a reality where it is possible to dream different dreams,see with different eyes, hear different music and think different thoughts.
Let the Bliss begin..

 

 Call for entries! Pre-Post Actions in YouPorn's categories of Sex
Deadline: January 31st , 2011

• Concept of the Exhibition
YouPorn marked a turning point in the glossy world of Porn: it gave the users the chance to reshape radically the conception of sex, choosing, tagging and creating the categories they prefer.
Categories that are many, free, creative and ever-increasing.
We invite you to recount Porn focusing on pre and post moments, when faces are lighted by surreal expressions, when getting (un)dressed, when imagining, remembering.
To explore the non-places of Porn picking one of YouPorn's categories: it's a great challenge, but telling about Porn using porn would be too easy.
• Media
Painting, Photography, Digital Art,Video.. there are no limits, but the artworks must respect the maximum dimensions of 50x50cm.

• More info and application form

Write to info@blissland.eu

 

Call for entries! Have you got a Smartphone?
Deadline: February, 26, 2011

• Concept of the Exhibition
A memory is a faded moment, a blurred silhouette.

The smartphone, instead, objectifies it with maniacal precision, catching every detail that eludes the glance, combining space, time and sound as only a machine could do.
Still, paradoxically, the accuracy of data and images does not bring a cold and detached vision, but opens to the stranger the doors of a new impression, of a new, faded, memory.
• Media
Necessary: having a Smartphone with integrated camera and audio recorder, plus
possibility to geotag the pictures. The modalities of the photos, including filters and
softwares are completely free, but the geotag must be active; the recording of the
place should be a minute long.

Standard Printing Formats: square (15X15cm), 13X18cm, 10x16cm.
Send us the picture, the recording and the geotag coordinates (date, address, latitude
and longitude).

Arroyo Arts Collective + 18th Street Arts Center - Yarn Bombing on the 18th

Yarn Bombing on the 18th, CA

Arroyo Arts Collective -  http://www.arroyoartscollective.org/ and 18th Street Arts Center - http://18thstreet.org/  is pleased to present Yarn Bombing on the 18th, a fiber art experience in and around the 18th Street Arts Center on June 18th, 2011.

Artists from the west and east side of Los Angeles and beyond will come together to transform the space by dressing everyday items in yarn and other fiber material. Enjoy a stroll and marvel in the handmade work attached to trees, posts, benches and other fixtures throughout the complex. The act of Yarn Bombing combines the art of street installation with needlework to create colorful, unexpected, and humorous messages in public spaces.

This is a two-fold exhibition, and includes a wall display inside in an artists studio at the 18th Street Art Center as well. Works may range from whimsical to functional or political; and all push the knit/crochet envelope. Recycled knit and fiber materials is encouraged.

The entry process includes attending the orientation/ site tour on Saturday, February 19th 2-5pm at 1653 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA, 90404. Each participant will claim their spot and propose a site specific project during the orientation. Space is available on a first come first serve basis. Attendees are highly encouraged to stay for the 18th Street Arts Center Art Night 6-10pm on February 19th to experience the complex during this special event as our own event will unfold during the next artnight on June 18th.

An ongoing stitch and bitch group will meet at the same location every 3rd Saturday of each month to work together and also to accept new applications

After the initial meeting, these monthly get-togethers are optional. Due to the site specific nature of the event, visiting the space in person at least once is essential, but exceptions can be made for highly enthusiastic parties (international applicants?) who are unable to come but would like to work out a way to participate.

We'd like to know who's coming, so please contact us at yarnbombing18(at)gmail(dot)com to confirm your attendance to the orientation.

 

 

 

Love video - Call for submission, short films, Paris

Love Video 2011
Deadline : 28 February , 2011

About 12 years ago we made our first call for entries in search for artists' videos and short films. It was the beginning of home videos and affordable video cameras. During exhibitions, these films were shown on a TV screen or in a screening. They were simple stories, filmed performances, still shots.
Now these films represent a body of 12 thematic programs and include about 100 films screened by the Brigade des Images in France and abroad.
To celebrate these several years of moving images, we are taking up once again our original theme: love video.

In the context of an uneasy political situation, love and cinema are becoming essential and, in spite of the proliferation of mass media and TV channels, last year in France witnessed the highest numbers of movie theatres attendance ever since the 1960s.

The films we are looking for in this new edition will treat the subjects of love and/or cinema, will feature intimate forms of narratives probably reminding us of home videos, will speak of love or its disappearance, and, why not, of politics...
Intimate is quite often political.

This program will be shown in France and abroad starting April 2011, you can visit the following site to find out about screening places:
http://www.brigadedesimages.com

Please send your films before the 28th of February 2011 to:
Brigade des Images
4, avenue Boutroux, 75013 Paris, France

Technical requirements: DVD-R or Quicktime, 10 minutes maximum length, with a self-addressed and prepaid envelope.

 

 

Fullframe Festival: Call for Tenders, Vienna

Experimental– und Avantguardfilmscreening
April 21th 2011, Gartenbaukino Vienna - Austria
Deadline : 19 February, 2011

fullframe 2011 - http://www.fullframefestival.net/

Interested artists can tender films or videos from the realm of visual arts and new media until February 19th 2011.

Requested are current tenders (not older than 2009) which gain quality by being presented on the 120m² screen at the Vienna Gartenbaukino, coming from the genre of experimental- and avantguard filmart.

Within this area we are aiming for a wide range concerning the application with the medium ‘film&video’.

The selection will be proceeded by the fullframe association and will cover worldwide productions and various formats and media, which have been produced from 2009 onwards, respectively in exceptional cases unseen elder works.

We have a special interest in artistic solutions, which are technically experimental or in some way ground-breaking.

http://fullframe.ull.at/ullCms/show/teilnahme

On the 21th of April 2011 fullframe presents a selection of current film and video art in a program with the duration of 100 minutes at the screen of the Vienna Gartenbaukino. 16mm, 35mm, video-projections and a live-act will be shown. The program consists of films and videos, which are of museum quality or are customarily displayed in galleries.
It shows that a presentation at a cinema not only enables a new concentrated view of the single films and a reciprocal action within the entire program but it also attracts a wider range of visitors.

So far works by Pipilotti Rist, Friedl Kubelka, Nikolaus Gansterer, Peter Weibel, Kerstin Cmelka, Gustav Deutsch, Julian Rosefeldt, Siegfried A. Fruhauf, Marie Losier und Thomas Draschan, only to name a few, have been displayed.

Tenders to:
Verein fullframe
Postfach 240
A-1020 Vienna
Austria

For tenders: Sample-DVD (for DVD-player) and filled out entry form.

The definite selection of participants will be made by the fullframe association at the middle of March and will be announced on the website.

Jour de Fête / video art open call - The Private Space Gallery, Barcelona

Deadline: 13 February, 2011

• Eligibility: (nationality / age ... of applicants): All artists are welcome to participate, regardless of their nationality, residence or age
• Paid by artist: no fees
• Paid by host: no fees

The Private Space Gallery opens a call for artists from all over the world, focused on video-art projects.

This concept invites the artists to explore the social and collective expression of the celebration from many possible points of view, the symbols of power related to social rituals, the construction of a collective identity, as well as the family environment and the concept of tradition and ceremony.

The selected works will take part in the video-art exhibition “Jour de fête”, which will take place at The Private Space Gallery (Barcelona) in May 2011, in the context of the International Video-art Festival Loop (www.loop-barcelona.com).

We therefore offer artists a platform to share their artists' books within a unique all-European competition for the first time.

Submissions are accepted as completed physical or digital objects as well as in the form of conceptual designs for projected works.
