LA BANDE VIDÉO
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Exhibition // Production Residency // Exhibition Residency

SUBMISSION DEADLINE : JANUARY 08, 2013

La Bande Vidéo supports the production and presentation of media art to stimulate the circulation of information, ideas and video images.

Exhibition
La Bande Vidéo is inviting artists working in media arts to submit an exhibition proposal. La Bande Vidéo seeks practices evolving throughout an original video language interested of subverting the medium at its core. Experimental or stop-motion animation, 2D screenings or installative works, the center supports the exhibition of independent creations that seeks to renew presentation rules.

La Bande Video offers exhibition rights in accordance to the CARFAC recommendations. Our center also accommodates freely the artist for the preview night.

Production Residency and Exhibition Residency
La Bande Vidéo is inviting artists working in media arts (or artists seeking to experiment with videographic media) to submit proposals for production residencies. The artist-in-residence program is available to artists working in Canada and abroad. La Bande Vidéo supports work by artists who are interested in moving the discipline forward. The center hopes to receive research projects that explore permeability among different medias. The selection committee might also put an hold on some residency projects for a month-long exhibition in the center’s gallery.

Artists chosen for residencies will receive free access to the center’s production studios and equipment for a period spread of around two weeks to one month. La Bande Vidéo ensures technical support and accommodates the artist if required. A complete array of HD equipment is available: digital cameras, shooting material, accessories, production rooms (two editing suites, a sound studio and a trial studio for installations), and projection equipment.

Our center also accommodates freely the artist for the whole duration of his residency (or residency-exhibit) while giving to the artist a small amount for transportation for those who happen to live farther than 50 km of La Bande Vidéo. We will as well give to the artist a sustainment allowance for the whole time for a simple residency. Otherwise, in case of a residency leading to an exhibition the center would only give exhibition rights in accordance to the CARFAC recommendations. Note that, in any case (residency or residency-exhibit) the artist has an obligation to pay his production membership amount for one year (50$ CAD / taxes included).
