OPEN CALL: Artist-Parent Pandemic Video and New Genres
Submission Deadline Extended to 12.31.20

It’s been a year since we first heard of COVID. Balancing family, studio time and employment is a precarious endeavor for artist-parents during the best of times. During this year of upheaval and social-distancing, artists have needed to re-imagine parenting, caretaking, family-life, education, and safer-at-home as a site for their time-based, video and new genre works. 

Artists are invited to submit works for curatorial consideration by Myrel Chernick and Niku Kashef for the second iteration of this Artist-Parent Video Biennial and for future screenings.

 

HOW TO SUBMIT:

• One to two pieces per artist. 
• Time Limits: video no longer than 4 minutes – complete works only, no trailers 
• No title cards or end credits - a title card will be created for each piece to include: Artist’s name; Title of piece (if applicable) 
• Upload submission to Vimeo and allow downloading on video settings 
• Title your Vimeo video AND file: LastName_FirstName_TitleOfWork 
• Email the Vimeo link to: timebased.familyart@gmail.com 
• Please use the following for the subject line of your email:
  “Your Name and Title of Submission 2020”
• In the body of the email please include a 50 word bio and include a website or preferred reference URL to your work; your contact phone number; and contact email 
• All submission uploads due December 31, 2020
