WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO SUBMIT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EMAF BY 06 DECEMBER 2013 !

We look forward to receiving your entries to the European Media  Art Festival competition, with new works. You’re invited to send us  films, videos, installation- and performance projects or expanded  media works. Please use the online forms for all submissions.

EMAF is one of the most influential forums of international Media  Art. As a meeting point for artists, curators, distributors, galleries  and an audience of experts the festival has a great impact on the
topics and aesthetics of Media Arts.

Each year the festival offers its visitors a current overview of  experimental films, installations, performances and new digital  formats, ranging from personal and political subjects or formal  experiments to provocative statements from the pulsating area of  “Media Art – Society”. The Festival sees itself as a place of  experimentation and a laboratory where extraordinary works,  experiments and ventures are created and presented.

At the festival an international jury will select the EMAF  Award for a trend-setting work in Media Art, the arte creative  Newcomer Award and the Dialog Award of the German Ministry of  Foreign Affairs for the promotion of intercultural exchange.

CINEMA
Experimental shorts and feature films, music videos, new  forms of narration and documentation as well as specials and  retrospectives.

MEDIA CAMPUS

We announce temporary residencies for one or two  artists up to three months,  where you can choose the length of the  period and living arrangements, where both apartments and rooms in the  main house are alternatives. The main building is three stories high and includes four studios, one photo studio with a large Epson printer,  multiple bedrooms, two kitchens, a living room and a meeting room.

The residence artists are free to use their time at their own disposal, but we encourage them to contribute to the local environment – either  through exhibitions at a later time or workshops/artist talk during the stay.

The applicant is asked to describe plans, include a résumé  and a summary of the reasons for wanting to work in Lofoten and the  preferred time periods for the visits. Young artists have a priority,  but we want artists of different ages to apply for the residency.

The deadline is July 10th , but you can send additional information later.

About Artist’s quarters Lofoten: Situated in the center of Lofoten, lies the collective studio  “Kunstkvarteret”, where four local artists have permanent studios and  guest artists visit periodically.  There has been several international symposia and seminars organized since its inauguration in 2008, and we have now established an “artist in residence” – program in collaboration with Nordland County  along with the Vestvaagoy municipality. “Kunstkvarteret” is located in  the middle of the island, next to Leknes, that has an airport and covers most needs.  10 minutes away is Stamsund, with one gallery, 3 permanent theaters, an annual theatre festival and a dock with access to the  “hurtigrute”( The ship going to the mainland). One hour away is the Nordnorsk Kunstnersenter,  Nordland Kunst og Filmfagskole, the Caviar factory ( a new big venue for art) and multiple  galleries.  ”Artscape Nordland” has several sculptures nearby, and LIAF-  Lofoten International Art Festival- is arranged in the neighboring  municipality.

James Turek (b. 1973, USA) living in Leipzig, Germany.

James’ comics have appeared in several anthologies, including kuš!, Smoke Signal, Drops and Kinki Magazine. He is currently working on ‘English mit James’, a children’s learning book for Klett Verlag, due out in fall 2013.

Turek will embark on a series of open workshops to places known or unknown in and around Riga. The sessions’ aim is to draw in places and to interact with people one normally does not, and to bring a sense of adventure and fun to making comics.

CUNE Comics-in-Residence (CUNE CiR) gives comic artists and other professionals a chance to explore the culture, the people and the local comics scene of their neighbouring European countries. Through individual projects and collaboration with local comics actives, the artists can form new professional and personal ties and exchange essential know-how. CUNE CiR is supported by Nordic Culture Point and Arts Promotion Centre Finland.
