CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: "Open City" Video Pool (Winnipeg)


Paul Couillard maintains this FADO elist with lot of amazing intermedia performance calls:

Artists are invited to submit works for an art exhibition during the 2nd annual Open Source Cultural Exchange called OpenCity, taking place August 17 - 20, 2005 in Winnipeg's Exchange District. We are looking for art in any media which responds to the idea of a Cultural (and Technological) Commons, Free Software, Open Source and the creation of shared-culture alternatives to corporate-controlled culture.

OpenCity believes that creativity always builds on the past, and that unrestricted, unbalanced copyright law wielded by powerful media conglomerates can stifle an artist's transformative re-use of material. If you are making artwork which explores these ideas, submit 10-20 slides, a CD or DVD, video, audiotape or URL, plus a curriculum vitae and a brief artist's statement. OpenCity invites submissions of: New
Media, Experimental Electronics, Video, Performance, Installation, Audio Art, Painting, Sculpture, Digital Art etc. The jury will consist of professional artists and OpenCity programmers.

Artist fees will be paid. Deadline for submissions: June 10, 2005

Send submissions to:
OpenCity Exhibition
c/o Video Pool Inc.
300-100 Arthur Street
Winnipeg, Manitoba
Canada R3B 1H3

Please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like your material returned. Only artists selected for the OpenCity Exhibition will be notified. For more information on OpenCity please see http://www.freeculture.ca
