Appel à participation 2022 : 35 Festival Les Instants Vidéo

Manifestation dédiée à l’art vidéo et la poésie électronique, sous toutes ses formes (projections, installations, performances…)

Octobre / Novembre 2022
Marseille (et ailleurs)
Date limite : 15 mai 2022
 

De tout, il resta trois choses :
La certitude que tout était en train de commencer, la certitude qu’il fallait continuer,
la certitude que cela serait interrompu avant que d’être terminé.
Faire de l’interruption, un nouveau chemin,
faire de la chute, un pas de danse,
faire de la peur, un escalier,
du rêve, un pont,
de la recherche, une rencontre. Fernanda Sabino

Le Festival Les Instants Vidéo est une manifestation dédiée à l’art vidéo et la poésie électronique, sous toutes ses formes (projections, installations, performances…). Il se tient à Marseille et dans la Région, ainsi qu’à l’international.

De nos questionnements pour 2022, surgissent ces trois points. Et nous voulions les partager avec vous

Les iconoclastes voulaient détruire les images pour en détruire leur signification. Pour des raisons morales, religieuses ou politiques, on détruit les images par peur que le sens qui s’y cache ne déclenche la fronde, la remise en question, le doute. Aujourd’hui, sous l’apparence du contraire, nous faisons la même chose mais au lieu de détruire les images même, nous les accablons de significations !
Nous vivons dans un monde de créateur.rice.s, d’influenceur.rice.s et de commentateur.rice.s. Le discours, le buzz, prend le pas sur l’oeuvre : ce qu’on en dit a tendance à avoir plus d’importance que l’œuvre elle même. La légende devient plus importante que l’image même.
La distinction entre les formes d’art propres aux classes populaires et d’autres formes d’art propres aux élites cultivées reste assez générale dans nos sociétés stratifiées. 
  Pour s’inscrire, c’est ici: https://filmfreeway.com/instantsvideo
Courant septembre, chacun.e des artistes sera informé.e de la sélection du festival.
Sachez que nous regarderons votre travail avec attention, étant conscient.e.s que la poésie électronique est fragile et délicate : un frémissement.
Nous attendons vos œuvres avec impatience

Manifestation internationale soutenue par le Ministère de la Culture (DRAC, PACA), le Conseil Régional (PACA), le Conseil Général des Bouches-du-Rhône, La Ville de Marseille.

Call for Papers: General Idea Symposium
4 June 2022
National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa

Three heads were better than one: AA Bronson, Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal. As
members of General Idea (1969″1994), this trio  » who thought of themselves more
like a rock band than as an artist collective  » have had a huge impact on the
international contemporary art world.

The conceptual apparatus of their flagship enterprise, The 1984 Miss General Idea
Pavillion, though destroyed, has left a large imprint on culture. General Idea were a
mirror of their times and a view on the future. They were cultural anthropologists, like
Claude Lvi-Strauss; semiologists, like Roland Barthes; media savants, like Marshall
McLuhan; and queer literary outsiders, like William Burroughs. They created a
complex system that functioned as myth. Fact and fiction always blended in their
work. So did irony and critique. They inhabited contemporary mass cultural and
media formats with witty sophistication: the beauty pageant, LIFE magazine,
television production. Their 1984 Miss General Idea Pageant was a parody of the
ritual elevation and demotion of art stars, figured within the dominatrix persona and
temporary reign of The Spirit of Miss General Idea. The Pavillion was an architecture
elevated through language, constructed purely as a performative fiction. They said it,
they did it. General Idea were social figures: artists with berets, businessmen with
plans. One moment they were architects designing and building the Pavillion, then
they were archaeologists sifting through its ruins. As cultural parasites they could
mutate with the times. Little did they know that eventually their viral methods would
be
mirrored in a real-world crisis: AIDS.

The forthcoming exhibition General Idea (3 June »20 November 2022) at the
National Gallery of Canada will cover the groups twenty-five years of collaboration.
It will include more than two hundred works, revealing the breadth of General Ideas
practice. The exhibition will be accompanied by a major publication  » the most
comprehensive source on the groups work to date.

In conjunction with the exhibition and the launch of the publication, the National
Gallery of Canada is organizing a symposium centred on General Ideas life and
work. We invite established and emerging scholars, art historians, curators, artists,
and architects to submit proposals for 20-30 minute presentations

Please send a 300-word abstract and CV to Philip Monk, Chair, and Adam Welch,
Associate Curator, National Gallery of Canada, at GIsymposium [arobas] gallery [point] ca. We
welcome abstracts and presentations in both English and French. Panelists will
receive a CAD 500 honorarium, round-trip
travel to Ottawa, two nights’
accommodation, and per diem.

The National Gallery of Canada is committed to collaborating with individuals who
reflect the diversity of Canadian society and welcomes proposals from all applicants.

Deadline for abstracts: 25 March 2022
Notification date: April 1, 2022
Deadline for complete papers from accepted participants: May 20, 2022

Call for Submissions: Curatorial Proposals for NAMARA Project Space

Call for Submissions:
Curatorial Proposals for NAMARA Project Space, Toronto
Located in the Dupont Arts Building, NAMARA Projects is a new venue for research,
deliberation, and presentation of curatorial work.

NAMARA works around the fluctuating borders of the traditional art world. The
explorations conducted in the Project Space inform both independent and
commissioned presentations. Through our work, we celebrate thoughtful work by
contemporary artists; challenge traditions, experimenting with untested methods;
and welcome new collaborators and audiences.

NAMARA operates at the intersection of art and business worlds, wavering into both
sides at different times, and always in an effort to see that the following occurs:

Art professionals receive fair pay for their work.
Art finds audiences by way of generative brand
partnerships; and engagement within
the traditional art community.
Brands enjoy the advantages of working with thoughtful art while maintaining best
practices and ethical standards.
Our projects include art professionals from under-represented and equity-seeking
groups.
There is no curation without art so the product of artistic labour is always the primary
focus.

We invite curators to respond to this open call for curatorial proposals. There is no
criteria nor deadline but we ask that your proposal is tailored to the space. Digital or
online components are also welcome. A maximum of four proposals per year will be
accepted.
