Open Projections 4: Spectacle
Deadline: 20/12/2019Venue: Coventry Cathedral | City: Coventry | Region: West Midlands | Country: United Kingdom | Asha Eade-Green
Open Projections is a series of digital and moving image projection exhibitions hosted by Coventry Cathedral. The series is hosted by guest curators and arts organisations. Art on show features digital and photographic work created by local, national and international artists. For the latest edition of Open Projections, on New Year’s Eve, We will be projecting onto the ceiling of Coventry Cathedral, using the design of the roof as a screen for each work. We will be inviting guests to lay on the floor and stare upwards (Don’t worry, bean bags and underfloor heating provided).
The brief is for this edition of Open Projections is ‘Spectacle’A visually striking performance or display, or An event or scene regarded in terms of its visual impact.
We are interested in showing work which explores the idea of spectacle and a visually stimulating display inside the cathedral. We have intentionally made the brief for this exhibition open to interpretation as we want to embrace the Cathedral’s space for New Year’s Eve.
We are particularly interested in visually striking animation and graphics as well as moving image pieces and films.
(Please see images for examples of previous Open Projections) Work submitted with sound can still be shown, although sound will not be amplified and may clash with the other sounds and music playing inside the Cathedral. Please take this into consideration. Submitted pieces should be no longer than 4 minutes in length.
// Deadline 20th November at 9pm //
// If you have been selected, you will receive a message from us via Curator Space by the 26th of December and you will be asked to we-transfer us your files // We will need your files to be with us by the 28th of December to be in the show, we will not have time to chase people for unsent files!
It is acceptable to send through a link to your work if it is online although we will need you to send us the work at a later date.
