EU4ART SOLO-CINEMA
OPEN CALL
until 25.4.2021
As online exhibitions became common and one of the few possible formats of art presentation throughout the lockdown, artists increasingly started working in the medium of time based art such as video or short film. With the EU4ART ‘SOLO CINEMA’ we would like to offer the possibility to showcase video works and bring them back from the purely virtual dimension into tangible space – the EU4ART Box located in the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts. In order to create a cinema-like experience, we would like to turn the Box into a corona-friendly ‘cinema for one’ featuring an international program.
Within this format, we aim to create a collection and curated program of short films and video works from students of all four Academies within the alliance. Based on the applications, we would try to find similarities and overlapping
topics and put different, international positions side by side. Depending on the amount of applications, we would organise the program in certain blocks, each with a thematic focus, starting on the 6.5.2021 while being displayed for a duration of two weeks in the Box.
Further, if possible, we can imagine to expand this format into an online version, in order to make the ‘collection’ accessible at least to all members of the alliance or to the public.
Through the EU4ART students Instagram account (@eu4art.students) we plan to offer an insight in the ‘cinema’ program by announcing the entire project and works to be seen, posting the program of each ‘block’ and featuring each work in a single post.
REALISATION
The Box would be re-designed in a cinema like aesthetic, equipped with curtains, a comfortable arm chair and adapter/extension cord to plug in one’s own headphones, in order to create as much of a cinema like atmosphere. Placed on the outside walls, posters would announce the general idea, the overall program and the program changing in a rhythm of two weeks. Additionally a short synopsis and info (title, duration, author, etc.) on each video work or short film with a corresponding ‘film poster’-like image would be displayed.
