Open Call
 
   
 
 

Deadline: 3rd March, 2003.

Open Call is over. Thanks a lot for your interest.

 

 

     
  Orientation:  
  Open Call for video art produced since 1990. Video works less than 20 minutes long made for a single-channel screening. We are looking for the widest possible selection of videos made since 1990. Our selection process will take into account the imagination, originality and creative focus of the pieces rather than their budget or technique. Works produced on film will be allowed if they are presented in video format. You may send as many works as you like, as several videos of the same artists may be included.  
  Exhibition rights:  
  There is a screening fee for the selected works to be paid to the artists of 25 euros plus an extra 3 euros per minute of duration of the work.
Each selected artist will receive a free copy of the book that will be published for 25hrs.
 
  Format:  
  We accept the following formats for selection: VHS, DVD or MiniDV (PAL or NTSC). We regret that we cannot return tapes submitted.
TheVideoArtFoundation will contact the artists whose works have been chosen to arrange the details of their participation. At that moment a projection quality PAL tape will be necessary and a written summary of the piece. This version will then be transferred to the screening tape by the organising committee. Then we will return the master tape to the artists.
 
  Language:  
  In case that the video contains words or dialogue in a language other than English or Spanish, an English translation of the dialogue must be included with the tape.  
  Notification of acceptance: April, 2003  
 

25hrs will show a wide variety of attitudes and approaches to the problems of contemporary society. We hope to include works of about 300 artists in order to offer a wide overview of video art of the last decade. We will be publishing a catalogue that we hope will prove to be a useful instrument both for artists and curators.
