Call For Entries: The Video Show

In our further exploration of the bookstore as a non-traditional artspace, we are calling out now to all video artists (of any part in the spectrum) for an exhibition scheduled to open gallery stroll May 15th. The possibilities are pretty open: we will be accepting proposals for video displayed on tv monitors -to be placed throughout our gallery space on the mezzanine, as well as potential installation areas throughout the store. video projection is also a possibility, but combating the overhead lighting in the store may be a difficulty. We are willing to experiment with many formats and options, making this a dynamic and engaging show. All entries must be submitted for review by Saturday, April 3rd.
If you are interested in participating, please start out by emailing the following information: Submissions must include the following:
1. Your name and contact information
2. Proposal of project (description or artist statement)
3. Video file (quicktime is preferred). This can be a video link. If you don't have video online, please bring in a quicktime video file to Sam Weller's Bookstore Attn: Stephanie + Shari. If you are working solely through VHS, please let us know in email, and we can make arrangements to view your video.
email to stephanie@samwellers.com &
shari@samwellers.com
Please email us with questions, or call us at 801.328.2586
We want this to be a diverse show, so don't hesitate to enter your submission. Or, if you know video artists, send this call for entries their way.
