FORMAT EXPOSURE OPEN CALL

FORMAT EXPOSURE OPEN CALL
Deadline: 1 October 2014
Application fee: £15

“I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be.”

- Isaac Asimov

Photography was once considered the most accurate way to record truth. The photograph acted as a solid piece of evidence; indisputable proof of something, someone or somewhere. Since its discovery, photography has been employed as a silent witness to ideas, capturing events and representing a trace of the world.  

Today, every two minutes, we take as many photos as the entirety of humanity took during the 1800s. On a daily basis, we use photography to evidence our lives; routines, friends, meals, encounters. Millions of seemingly insignificant moments are recorded and shared online, creating inconclusive portraits of individuals, places and events.

We can no longer consider a photograph an evidential document in every case. It can equally misrepresent reality as much as it reveals truths; questioning the historic phrase “the camera never lies”.

We are interested in the evidence of your ideas, your lives and the lives of others, today and throughout history. We are inviting submissions which explore the boundaries of photography and its connection to our festival theme, EVIDENCE, in original and genuine ways.

We are looking for submissions from across the medium of photography and beyond for the next edition of FORMAT International Photography Festival, taking place from 13th March – 12th April 2015, in Derby, UK. Submissions are welcome from artists/photographers, curators, collectives, archives, independent publishers and performers.

There are opportunities to show different kinds of works: wall based, installation, public space, screen based, interactive, digital, participatory, workshop and event based. Tell us more in the application form! All we ask is that you connect with the theme and photography/still image.

We are open to broad interpretations of the theme.

Think openly about the definition of the theme and you are welcome to take it in any direction you think relates.

Challenge us!

FORMAT has invited a panel of international experts from the field of photography to assist in the short-listing and selection of EXPOSURE artists.

The Jury for FORMAT15 consists of:

W.M. Hunt – Photography Consultant & Collector, New York, USA
Brian Griffin – Photographer & FORMAT Patron, UK

Aaron Schuman – Photographer, Curator, Writer, Lecturer and Editor of SEESAW Magazine, UK

Joanne Junga Yang – Director of Y&G Art, Seoul Photo Festival, Korea
Enrico Bossan – Head of Photography at Fabrica, Editor of Colors Magazine, Italy
Louise Clements – Artistic Director of FORMAT/QUAD, UK

This year the EXPOSURE open call will be hosted by IdeasTap. All submissions must be made via IdeasTap.com. Please ensure you follow the instructions outlined carefully otherwise your submission may not be valid. Download our step by step guide to the submission process. Submissions costs £15*.

Open Call: Boda-Boda Lounge Project

Open Call: Boda-Boda Lounge Project
Deadline for submissions 15 September 2014


 

Download the application here.

The Boda-Boda Lounge Project is a cross-continental video festival that will feature at over 15 spaces throughout Africa. Boda-Boda Lounge Project is currently accepting video art submissions from artists based in Africa and of African descent. Relevant submissions will be put forward for intercontinental screening and exhibition programming.

The term ‘Boda-Boda’ is an adaptation of the word border and alludes to a cross border movement, suggesting physical mobility across lines that represent the divide of land and space universally. Teamed with ‘lounge’, the project seeks to engage questions of mobility and domesticities, and how these two notions are now being engaged in our personal spaces.

Altogether, Boda-Boda Lounge project takes cognizance of the physical aspect of mobility, it attempts to engage with people’s private space and imagine the ways through which Africans on the continent, mostly middle-class, do have access to a space in which we are allowed to cross physical and imaginary lines/ borders through the use of the TV set normally located in the lounge room of the house; thus, providing context to the thinking as well as exhibition making within the context of the Boda-Boda Lounge video exhibition.

Private space in many contexts represents an environment in which human beings reflect about their individual experiences comparatively to their interactions within public spaces - private space hence establishes room for intimate dialogues, activities and the opportunity to lounge and reconnect with their senses. Boda-Boda Lounge will attempt to reflect how people engage with their personal or private space looking at the influence of audio-visual sets in their lives in and out of private space.

The Boda-Boda Lounge Project is a collaborative project between VANSA (South Africa), Picha (Congo DRC) and VAN Lagos (Nigeria). It intends to enable wide access for African artists to be part of the festival and to enable a wide range of African arts organizations to take part. It is an engagement with low cost, widely accessible exchange processes on the African Continent.

Requirements:

Who can submit? Any artist working with digital and multimedia art as a medium on or from the continent.
 
Which works will be selected? Works must have been produced in the past five (5) years.

How many works can you submit? Maximum of 3 works per submission.

Each work must be accompanied by a new application form.

Selection Criteria

The works will travel through the many venues during selection period, where each hosting hub nominated jury will do a final selection for their exhibition.

The project will take place on the same date for 3 days at the following venues:

Zero Point Gallery
32º East | Ugandan Arts Trust
Medina Galerie Mediatheque
E.studio Luanda
Centre Soleil d'Afrique
Njelele Art Station
Voices in Colour
VAN Lagos
