Hello Frameworkers Here are guidelines for our second open call exhibition…submission deadline 3 September.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/268918226/Animate-OPEN-Parts-Labour-Guidelines <http://www.scribd.com/doc/268918226/Animate-OPEN-Parts-Labour-Guidelines> The Animate OPEN is for complete works by UK and international artists, animators and filmmakers, produced since January 2014. We invite submissions of experimental single channel animation work that relates to the theme Parts & Labour. The theme emphasises the craft – analogue and digital – of contemporary creative animation practice and is intended to convey a sense of animation as something that is made and crafted – whether physically or digitally - and the cultural importance of the artist and maker. The Animate OPEN will present work in a gallery (our partner, QUAD, in Derby, UK), online and in cinemas – spaces for contemporary visual arts and cultural film. Animators today are engaged in extraordinarily diverse activities, across and between the arts and the creative media industries; animation is a site for innovation, risk taking and the development of new artistic techniques and approaches. We are looking for works that explore, question, celebrate, subvert or confound our expectations. We want to represent a range of creative practice - bringing together different forms, approaches and perspectives, which nevertheless connect through their exploration of the concept of animation as craft. You can opt out of the online exhibition option and ask us to consider your work for gallery and/or cinema only – please check the box on the form. We will select up to 20 works for gallery exhibition at QUAD in Derby (from 28 November 2015 – 24 January 2016), for online exhibition and for a cinema programme as part of Move It, a season of British and international animation, touring the UK in 2016. A publication will include information about the selected works and the artists who made them, alongside commissioned writings that reflect and develop current debates in contemporary animation practice. At QUAD there will be a programme of related talks and public and professional workshops.
