LiveBox Gallery has an open call for two curatorial projects: “Best Friends” and “Bits and Pieces”. “Best Friends” explores the age-old practice of domestication creating animals that serve us and satisfy our companionship needs. Videos should incorporate animals; the connection can be loose and abstract. ‘Bits and Pieces” celebrates collage as a process and creative platform for contemporary video.
Projects will screen in Chicago early 2009. Entry Deadline: December 1st. Please identity the curatorial project you’re submitting to. You can submit as many videos as you like.
Format: CD with resume, statement, short synopsis of the work, and jpg images. Video should be NTSC DVD, if your piece is in PAL, please send mini DV tape. Label DVD and case with title, running time and contact info. Note materials will not be returned. For more information contact cf@liveboxgallery.com
