Accepting submissions now! We invite Australian and international video artists to apply for Inaugural International Limestone Coast Video Art Festival, to be held Sept 29, - October 21 2018, in the Riddoch Art Gallery/Main Corner, Mount Gambier, South Australia. We encourage innovative works created by video artists. Our 2018 program will include an exhibition, conference, screenings, workshops, VJ performances. No ENTRY FEE Deadline for submission is March 30, 2018. Proposals may refer to one or more new, or already debuted, works. Works must be original. Subject, contents and themes of the proposals must relate to the theme of the Festival: The Lived Body. Submitted works can be up to 12 minutes long and must be produced in the period 2014 – 2018. Organised by the Riddoch Gallery, the Inaugural International Limestone Coast Video Art Festival celebrates the creation of Video Art and places special emphasis on innovative and ground-breaking Video Art internationally, as well as on the work of South Australian artists, and artists throughout Australia. The Inaugural International Limestone Coast Video Art Festival significantly raises the scope of programming at the Riddoch Art Gallery/Main Corner by presenting experimental and innovative exhibitions, conferences and workshops that challenge established ways of thinking. The theme for the 2018 Festival is "The Lived Body". It focuses on art projects that reveal the human relationship to both technology and nature, and attempts to provide a metaphorical response via the medium of Video Art. The "corporeality" (lived body) is not experienced in a vacuum but in inter-relationship with society, as the lived relationship we maintain with others exists in the interpersonal space we share with them. We therefore expect to receive projects exploring both the bodily aspects as well as socially important issues. Marshal McLuhan elegantly summed it up: Each new technology is a reprogramming of sensory life. Our program will stimulate, reveal, and surprise!
