AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

*CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS – VIDEO ART / FILM / FICTION*

* *

*Privacy/Publicity*

*A collaborative performance and exhibition at Pieter*

*Sunday, May 16, 2010 7pm *

* *

*Privacy/Publicity* is a curated event featuring dance, fiction reading, and
video art. Our aim is to open a conversation, via these art forms, around
the status of the terms *private* and *public*. We are seeking work that
addresses the interplay of private and public space, physical and virtual
experience, individuality and collectivity—all the concepts that describe
the particular experience of living in an age of unprecedented access to
information.

We are seeking video art, film and works of fiction. Submissions should
reflect the theme *Privacy/Publicity* as outlined above. Video entries
should not exceed 15 minutes in length. Written work should not exceed 5
pages single-spaced. Please limit your submissions to two pieces of writing
and/or two films per artist.

Please send submissions as links or attachments to MHDanceTheatre@gmail.com.
Or send a DVD to Maia Harari: 1158 26th Street, Suite 422, Santa Monica, CA
90403. Provide your name, the title of the submitted work and contact
information in the body of your email and on any attachments. If you are
sending a DVD, make sure it is clearly labeled with your name, title and
contact information.

*SUBMISSION DEADLINE*

*Please submit your work no later than Monday, April 19, 2010.*
