Calls for festivals, art residencies and other events

I decided to share with you guys (in the hope that others also start sharing) some of the call for participations that I come across.

I do a lot of research to find the best festivals, the ones that enjoy art videos, are competitive and also don't charge entry fee. About the residencies, the best ones don't also charge the artist, or even give some kind of support.

So please, dear members of Video Artists, let's stick together and help each other find these opportunities!

Pour l’année 2008, le nouveau cadavre exquis vidéo devient arborescent. Il sera lancé le 12 mars en partenariat avec Vidéoformes avec
les règles suivantes :

1- Pour participer, chaque auteur doir se rendre à l’adresse Web : http://babiloff.free.fr/projets_08/cadexq-08.html afin de télécharger une trace
vidéo de 2 secondes d’un auteur précédent disponible sur le site pour se l’approprier, retravailler dessus aussi bien l’image que le son, et enchaîner
sur sa propre contribution dont la durée totale ne pourra dépasser les 30 secondes.
Les 2 secondes de vidéo sont éditées au format QuickTime DVPal, et peuvent être librement téléchargées via l’outil QuickTime Pro, fonctionnant
indifféremment sur Mac ou sur PC.

2- Chaque nouvelle vidéo contributive, une fois réalisée, doit être renvoyée au format DVPal SD (720x576) QuickTime. Le retour doit se faire via
téléchargement Internet signifié à l’adresse mail : babiloff.cadexq08@free.fr en spécifiant l’url de téléchargement ainsi que le nom d’auteur de la
contribution qui figurera au générique. Dès réception, les 2 dernières secondes seront détachées et mises à disposition sur le site, en remplacement
des 2 secondes de l’auteur précédemment.
Si plusieurs auteurs répondent simultanément à partir des mêmes 2 secondes de fin d’un l’auteur précédent, ils seront tous intégrés au projet en
cours, au même niveau, donnant naissance à de nouvelles arborescences du cadavre exquis. Les participants suivants auront donc plusieurs choix
de continuation du cadavre exquis.

3- Le premier auteur à renvoyer sa contribution à partir du 12 mars 2008, deviendra de fait la racine du cadavre exquis 2008.

4- Les contributions doivent être originales et en conformité avec le respect de la réglementation sur le droit d’auteur. Chaque participant accepte
en outre la cession non exclusive de ses droits pour toute diffusion, sur tout support et pour tout pays, organisé par Babiloff ou Vidéoformes, au titre
de la représentation du programme appelé « cadavre exquis vidéo 2008 ».

5- Le « cadavre exquis vidéo 2008 » est ouvert à toute personne physique ou morale de tout pays, acceptant l’ensemble des règles du ci-dessus
exposées.
6- Le projet « cadavre exquis vidéo 2008 » sera clos dans un an et le résultat projeté au cours de la prochaine édition de Vidéoformes avant d’être
publié en ligne sur le site Babiloff.
For 2008, the new exquisite corpse video has become arborescent. It will be launched on March 12th in a partnership with Vidéoformes with
the following rules:
1 – To participate, each author must go to the website: http://babiloff.free.fr/projets_08/cadexq-08.html in order to download a video trace of 2 seconds of a
preceding author available on the site to appropriate for him or herself, to rework the image as well as the sound, and link it with his or her own contribution
whose total length can not be more than 30 seconds.
The 2 seconds of video are published in the format QuickTime DVPal, and can be freely downloaded via QuickTime Pro software that works on both Mac
and PC.
2 – Each new video contribution, once finished, must be sent back in the DVPal SD (720x576) QuickTime format. The video must be sent via Internet download
at the following email address: babiloff.cadexq08@free.fr specifying the URL of the download as well as the name of the author of the contribution that will be
included in the credits. Once received, the last 2 seconds will be detached and put on the site, replacing the 2 seconds of the preceding author.
If several authors answer simultaneously, they will all be included in the current project, at the same level, branching out into new arborescences of the exqui-
site corpse. The next participants will thus have several choices to continue the exquisite corpse.
3 – The first author to send in his/her contribution starting March 12, 2008, will become the root of the exquisite corpse 2008.
4 – The contributions must be original and conform to the regulations concerning copyright. In addition, each participant must accept the non-exclusive
transfer of his/her rights for all broadcast, in any format and for all countries, organized by Babiloff or Vidéoformes, relative to the representation of the
program titled “Exquisite Corpse Video 08”.
5 – The “Exquisite Corpse Video 2008” is open to any natural person or legal entity from any country who accepts all of the aforementioned rules.
6 – The “Exquisite Corpse Video 2008” will end in one year and the result will be presented at the next edition of Vidéoformes before being published online
at the Babiloff website.

Hmmm... another interesting corpse. "Corpsing" will soon be a major fad, I think. This one should prove worthwhile, and I'm inclined to participate at some point.

Perhaps this is also good MO for our video-bank project.

BTW, anyone considering reading Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" (it's a HELL of a book) should know that most people have found it impossible to put down until they're done (should take about 3-5 hours), and then a good hour of weeping is required afterwards. So, plan your day accordingly.

MONITORING THE FUTURE

"We are looking for video art which, today, is already part of tomorrow's breeding ground," says Georg Elben, curator of the VIDEONALE 12. Quo vadis video art ? this is the question the VIDEONALE at the Bonn Kunstmuseum has addressed every two years since 1984. As of now all artists are invited to apply for the VIDEONALE 12 with a video work created in the past two years.

One of the oldest festivals for video art in the world, VIDEONALE 12 will present the latest trends in video art from 26 March to 26 April 2009. There is no set topic for submissions, but only single-channel works can be entered. VIDEONALE 12 will open with a four-day festival featuring a variety of events. The exhibition will run for four weeks, showcasing 40 to 50 video works chosen by an international jury. VIDEONALE has "always had the advantage, as a kind of film festival for video art, of being able to provide a realistic assessment of the current filmic state of development of this genre. That is what defines its function as an aesthetic gauge." (K.WEST) The works featured at VIDEONALE 12 will be shown in other international institutions following the exhibition at the Bonn Kunstmuseum; the works chosen for VIDEONALE 11 were, among others, shown in 2007 at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid and 2008 at the Bangalore Goethe Institut.

"Thinking outside the box" the Bonn Videonale is looking for new ways of presenting video art,"(Süddeutsche Zeitung) - VIDEONALE is particularly interested in developing new forms of presentation for video art beyond the black box. For the past years each VIDEONALE has commissioned a new team of architects and designers to create an innovative exhibition design, both technically and artistically, for presenting the exhibition in the context of a museum. "We are happy about the attention and broad recognition from the specialist audience we have received in the last years for our pioneering work in this field where, so far, only a small number of convincing approaches have been found," says Georg Elben.

The videos presented at VIDEONALE 12 will automatically be taking part in the competition for the Videonale award worth 5.000 Euro which will be awarded by a second international jury. Application deadline is 31 August 2008. All information and entry forms can be found at http://www.videonale.org
