VIDEO ART MIDEN // CALL FOR ENTRIES 2019-20

Video Art Miden - call for entries [video art]

Deadline: November 30, 2019

Video Art Miden invites all video artists and video creators to participate in the next events & collaborations of Miden.

The call is open to every creator (individuals, groups or organizations) of any nationality and background.

There is no entry fee.

There are no thematic or morphological restrictions, but for our next edition we are particularly interested in video art, video-performance, video-dance, experimental music videos, animation, always with an artistic approach.

In addition, we address a special call for the following thematic tributes:

-a tribute to Ophelia

-a special call under the theme “Safe Mode”, which will be curated and exhibited in collaboration with TILT platform. “Safe Mode”, known to every computer user as a tech term, should be also used anthropologically and metaphorically, to describe and explore processes and phenomena of modern life, based on politics, human behavior and psychology. TILT is a creative platform of artists, researchers and theorists. The TILT platform creates and presents art projects and exhibitions, explores and intervenes in the public space and on the Internet. More info on the concept of Safe Mode can be found here

-a special call under the theme “Frontpage”, which will be curated and exhibited in collaboration with curator Eva Maragaki (AxionArt) and the European Communication Institute (ECI). The exhibition is scheduled to take place in Athens in spring of 2020. For this specific project we are seeking for video art works which make creative use of news and headlines in newspapers, magazines and the internet.

-a special tribute to the history of Greek video art, for which we invite visual artists from Greece who incorporated video in their artistic practice since the ’80s and ’90s to send us their early art videos (or video documentations of video-installations and performances) from this period. Curators who would like to contribute their research on this theme are also welcomed.

Entry forms and preview links can be submitted electronically until November 30, 2019 at festivalmiden[at]gmail.com.
