Biennale Illumini Event 2010

Call for Submission

Applications are invited from artists of all disciplines, whose work or part of their work illuminates, or lights up in some way. This can be from the way it is displayed; e.g, projection, TV screens etc, or incorporating lighting into the actual artwork in some way - neon, LED’S , EL wire & panels, glow products & paint etc. If your work glows or lights up we want to hear from you. Site specific work and new works are also welcome. 

Have you ever wondered what secret tunnels and buildings are hidden under the citiy streets?

Illumini Event 2010 will be held in an underground rustic location in East London, and promises to be an exciting and historical look into the history of the secret underground city. The old rustic subterranean dark labyrinth, with its many rooms, alleyways and cells, will be transformed into several areas of historical underground London, eg: world war bunkers, disused station, crypts, historical water ways and many more, long forgotten hidden secrets of London. During the event there will be workshops and talks about secrets that are hidden in London’s underground. 

The venue for the event will be divided into zones. Each zone will represent a special hidden underground London location. Artists will transform their space to take the viewer back in time, recreating their chosen underground location,  that inspires them. Then using their individual spaces as a platform, to exhibit their illuminating art work.

Collaborate!

19,99 ? AWARD

1, 2, 3 - FUN CLUB INITIATIVE is proud to announce the 19,99 ? AWARD. An international jury (so far: Gusti Gould Korban, Cornelia Huth, Martin Beck) that has yet to be recruited by our chief executive Tony Abstract will carefully select the finest young talent within the fine arts. A scholarship of 19,99 ? as a one-off payment is granted to the winner.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

1. The 19,99 ? AWARD is restricted to what's generally perceived as the visual arts.
2. Every artist can apply with one piece of art only, represented by one image.
3. The image should be attached as a digital file (preferably jpg) to the application.
4. Please send your application as an email to FUN CLUB or to our devoted download-boy Michel.
5. In addition to the competition entry, a portrait picture of the applicant as well as a brief vita should be attached to the application.
6. By sending the application, the artist assures that the copyright of the images sent along resides with her/him.
7. By sending the application, the artist grants FUN CLUB the right to publish all the information/material that is attached to the application here. The copyright will of course reside with the applicant.
8. Please be aware that applications that are sent in after February 13th, 2010 can not be considered for the 19,99 ? AWARD. By choosing this date as a deadline, our chief executive Tony Abstract hopes to remember his little brother's birthday.

THE FIRST RENDITION OF THE 19,99 ? AWARD

For one reason or another an award needs a (changing) theme/topic. We decided to choose BARS as the subject of the first rendition of the 19,99 ? AWARD. We believe that the bar as such is underrepresented in the fine arts given its tremendous importance. Bukowski once said: "I don't like jail, they got the wrong kind of bars in there." And we also remember Lee Hazlewood praying them bars away. Now both hairy old men are not exactly representatives of the fine arts, but that might just be the point. We might add a sincere FUCK BARS at the end of our statement, expressing our hatred towards "the topic". Please feel free to send in whatever artwork imposes itself, if it shows a race car, it shows a race car, if it is good, it is good.

LAST WORDS

Although our international jury is eager to be highly selective, we might be forced to choose the most random crap. This is for sure an advantage as well as a disadvantage of the first rendition of the 19,99 ? AWARD. It's highly possible that you're the only one sending in "something", so you really don't have to be an artist after all.

OPEN CALL FOR VIDEO SUBMISSION

VIDEOHOLICA 2010 INTERNATIONAL VIDEO ART FESTIVAL

3RD EDITION/ KEEP THE ILLUSION ALIVE
AUGUST IN ART BIENNIAL
10 ? 17 AUGUST 2010, VARNA, BULGARIA

The 3rd edition of the VIDEOHOLICA INTERNATIONAL VIDEO ART FESTIVAL 2010 will take place in the period 10 ? 17 August 2010 in Varna within the framework of the International Biennial for Visual Arts AUGUST IN ART.

VIDEOHOLICA 2010 will present a series of video art projections and exhibitions and will make presentations of well-known international video art forums and honored video artists in parallel with discussions concerning video art topics.

The 3rd festival edition will pass under the KEEP THE ILLUSION ALIVE motto.
In the process of increasingly stiffening economic spheres, multimedia, hyper realities and cybernetic culture, ?the network of simulacra? has become increasingly live phenomenon. High technologies, information, Internet, clicking, downloading, setting commands, editing memories, cutting out dreams! The art sets the issue: "Shall we use all this, or shall we transform ourselves into very it?" The "hyper reality", thus created, dictates personality?s behavior, perception and consciousness, causing loss of subjectivity. The motto of this year's festival appeals to preserving one?s identity/ authenticity in the process of mass modification and unification of the individual. The term "illusion" is the subject of many cultural, sociological, religious, philosophical and psychological studies from the time of postmodernism, and continues to be a live issue, both with positive and negative connotations. In this sense, the conservation/ preservation of the unreal is a negation of the material world and a protest against the omnipotence of information, socio-cultural and politico-economic speculations.

The decisions about the selection of the videos will be made by the 5-member jury. All the applicants, who observe the rules and the deadline, will have admission to the jury, which will take place in July 2010. The final results will be announced and sent to the applicants by e-mail by the end of July 2010. The jury will make representative selection of 20 movies. There is no submission fee.

VIDEOHOLICA 2010 open call will run until 30 of June 2010 and all applications are very welcome.

The Daet Arts Council is offering its first Artist-In-Residence (AIR) program in Daet, capital town of the province of Camarines Norte.

Daet is a small town with a very long beach hugging the Pacific Ocean, tagged as the 61st surfing destination in the world. The artist will be staying in a beach house right on water?s edge. The house sits on an 8 hectare property, an isthmus that extends from the mainland, separated from it by the course of a river, whose mouth opens into the sea right next to the house. The house has a 270 degree view of water.

Bagasbas Beach is also the site for the Bagasbas International Eco-Arts Festival, a community+artist installation festival now on its third iteration (www.bbieaf.org).

The artist will be staying at the beach house for a period of three months. Meals will be provided at the beach house by the house caretaker. The small coastal village of Bagasbas is a short walk.

Artistic production will be centered in the beach house, where the artist can work on his art right by the roar of the beach. Art workshops will be scheduled at the Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation where the artist can communicate his methods and his vision to the community at large. Near the end of the residency, an exhibition of the artist?s production will be held in Daet. The Daet Arts Council reserves the right to choose the works that will remain and be exhibited at the later ABEM Museum.

The town of Daet is about a five kilometer bike ride away. A bike will be provided the artist for his transportation.

The artist is expected to spend for his roundtrip fares to Manila as well as all visa and other documentation necessary for his entry to the country. There is a AIR fee of US$ 3,000.00 which will contribute towards the daily maintenance of the artist as well as other preparations which will be made for his stay. The Daet Arts Council can issue the selected artist an official invitation to help the artist find any funding he needs to join this program.

Seasons are markedly demarcated in Daet, and the AIR program will be offered three times in a year, as follows:

First Period - Summer Period March-May every year
Hottest time of the year, temperatures averaging
37-38 Celsius. Best time for the beach and sea travel.

Second Period - Rainy Period June-August every year
Start of the rainy season, very wet, punctuated by
occasional typhoons

Third Period - Cool Period November-January every year
