"Commercial" Art Video Call

"Commercial" Art Video Call

We are challenging artists to match the creativity of the advertising market by asking them to submit videos that use a previously-broadcast t.v. or internet commercial as its base. You can take any broadcast commercial, cut it, dub it, repeat it, or flip it and make it art.

All submitted and accepted videos will be available at www.apexart.org/videocall.htm and will be presented in an exhibition at *apexart* from November 10 - December 22, 2010. During the exhibition’s run, videos will be voted on by visitors of the exhibition space and the website. The top five works will be presented on a public screen in Manhattan and the creator of the top scoring work will receive a $2,000 cash prize.

All work must be submitted by Sunday, October 31, 2010. Applications are welcomed and encouraged from around the world. Commercials do not have to be in English.
