Open call for entries Broadway Cafebar Digital and Moving Image Commission As part of a new programme of digital and moving image work at Broadway we are looking to commission a series of single-screen video or moving image films or artworks for large-scale projection in our cafebar.
We are looking to work with a range of artists who are making exciting, innovative and engaging artwork to develop our creative programme of work at Broadway. We are particularly interested (but not exclusively) in working with artists based in the East Midlands. The digital and moving image programme will officially launch in January 2007, these commissions will form part of the pre-launch programme and will coincide with the launch of the new building from October 2006. Technical Specifications Projections will take place in a busy, intergenerational cafebar. All work will be screened silent and consideration needs to be given to the environment in which it will be shown. Moving image work is defined as film, digital film, video and work with new technologies. Application Please submit a brief outline, not more than an A4 page, describing how you would approach this commission. The one page detail of your approach to this commission should convey: your main idea or theme, the visual style and look screener tape of the proposed work or supporting material as dvd, vhs video or cdrom. Theme There is no set theme and we are genuinely open to anything. However, it is worth bearing in mind the demands of the cafebar space and the history of Broadway as a cinema and social centre. You may wish to make work that uses moving image as the link between the cinema and digital arts. You may wish to make something that is durational - For example 24 hour psycho by Douglas Gordon. You may wish to engage with the iconography and history of cinema. We are particularly interested in work that has an emotional integrity or explores audience engagement. We are looking for high-quality work that shows original thought and ideas. It should aim to excite, surprise and challenge a wide audience, including those who may not be familiar with contemporary moving image work. Communications Please send applications in an envelope marked ‘Cafebar Moving Image Commission’ to: Broadway Cinema and Media Centre Anna Petry 14-18 Broad Street Nottingham NG1 3AL The deadline is 20th September 2006.
