ASPECT-EZ is a new series of events and DVD publications coordinated by ASPECT to provide support for emerging artists. These events will be under the auspices of the curatorial team at ASPECT, and produced by young interns and guest organizers. FAILURE is the second installment of ASPECT-EZ.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 9, 2011
L’appel du vide is a French phrase used to describe the urge felt by many when confronted with heights, drawing them to or over the edge. This “call of the void” is present in many artistic practices in which risk and experimentation are treated as tools or subjects. In this second installment of the Aspect-EZ series, we are looking for works that explore chance, failure and idealism as generative forces in video, performance and new media.
Work selected for the event will be featured on a limited-run DVD, published by Aspect. Any art that is best captured with time-based media is suitable for the show. Work or documentation of work should be under 5 minutes, unless convincingly argued otherwise. We will also accept proposals for live performance or installation to be exhibited at the event, the documentation of which will be featured on the DVD.
Everyone selected for the show will be eligible for the ASPECT Selects prize. The ASPECT curatorial team will award one participant an ASPECT subscription. This award will be announced at the show.
