Open Call - The City in Motion CAG/Telus Garden Public Art Commission Call for participants aged 17 to 25yrs old Deadline extended: Monday, November 17, 5pm The Contemporary Art Gallery is embarking on a unique public art commission and intensive program for emerging artists aged 17 to 25 yrs old. The CAG has been selected by Telus to develop a community-based permanent multimedia installation for the Telus office located in the new Telus Garden building on West Georgia Street in downtown Vancouver. Through this invitation, the CAG has organized, The City in Motion, an intensive four month program for emerging artists interested in investigating the city through the frame of moving images. Supported by Cineworks Independent Filmmakers Society and led by artist/mentors Josh Hite, Brian Lye and Jem Noble, participants will consider how the city has and is documented and envisioned through film, video and new media, engaging with the histories of documentary film and the city archive, and interrogating contemporary forms of documentation from smart phones videos and social media to surveillance recordings. Youth will respond to the ideologies, perceptions and histories of the city, culminating in the production of a permanent work at the Telus Garden building. This innovative program is an opportunity for youth to experiment with various media, offering training and mentorship on the concepts, documentation tactics and technical logistics for developing video/film/new media work. Through studio and gallery visits, workshops and screenings will also be connected to Vancouver’s cultural community. Designed to immerse participants in a rigorous schedule that supports the process of developing an idea into a final permanent installation, the CAG is targeting self-motivated individuals interested in the process of creating a collaborative public art commission. Cineworks will host a screening of completed works in February 2015. There is no cost for this program. To enroll: Send a letter of interest (500 words max) introducing yourself and outlining your interest in the program to [email protected] by Monday, November 17, 5pm. For more information on the project, contact: Shaun Dacey, Curator, Learning and Public Programs : [email protected] or 604-681-2700.
