CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS OF MEDIA ART
Deadline: June 7, 2010 by 5pm
Since its inception since 2001, InterAccess has organized an annual emerging artists exhibition to showcase new media work by post-secondary students and recent graduates. Curated and organized by a selected emerging curator, this initiative offers young artists and curators professional experience and exposure. Past exhibitions have been reviewed by The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star and The National post. Former participating artists and curators have gone on to work and exhibit in such institutions as the Doris McCarthy Gallery at the University of Toronto, Xpace Gallery, The Banff Centre, Western Front, Trinity Square Video, Plug In Institute for Contemporary Art, Space Media Arts in London UK, FACT, Liverpool, and Transmediale in Berlin.
NATURE AND SCOPE OF CALL AND QUALIFICATIONS: InterAccess seeks submissions of new media and electronic works from emerging artists. Artists must be post-secondary students or recent graduates to qualify, and all works submitted must be exhibition ready, and produced in the last two years. No works in progress will be accepted. InterAccess welcomes new media works in the form of: sculpture, installation, video, audio, performance and interactive art. Web-based projects are also welcome. Based on the works selected, the emerging curator will develop an exhibition related to all the submissions received.
Each selected artist will receive CARFAC standard artist fees for participating. The exhibition runs from Friday July 23 until Saturday August 28, 2010.
While we welcome proposals from outside of Ontario, please note that InterAccess cannot provide artist travel fees or cover the shipping of artwork. Participating artists will be responsible for timely transportation of their artwork to the gallery a week before the opening on Friday July 23, 2010. Although the artist is chiefly responsible for installing his/her work, InterAccess will provide technical assistance and basic audio/video equipment.
