alive open call

AVE22 MetaGallery would likes to invite artists to take part in its “alive” open call.

OVERVIEW Rather than setting a topic for the future exhibition, we would like to stress its technical details. We would like to experiment with “making artworks live”. In our case, we will add a very simple animation just to make a feel that it is alive. You can view an example of such work at the open call page at: https://www.ave22.org/alive

As for the topic, we will definitely be glad to see artworks that are moving, that are in motion, that are live. Though the effect could be added to nearly any artwork, it is definitely better to supplement the motion to the already conveyed movement message contained in the artwork.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE February 10, 2023   SELECTION NOTIFICATION February 11, 2022   EXHIBITION DATES February 15, 2023 – February 22, 2023   ELIGIBILITY Artists have to be over 21 years old.

For 2D artworks please submit 2 artworks in .jpg or .png format, not more that 9 Mb per artwork.
