OPEN CALL—SCREENING: LUXURY
Submit your film, moving image or animation for the second edition of Das Leben am Haverkamp’s window screening! In November and December we will transform the facade of our studio into an open air cinema. We welcome a new generation of image makers in the field of animation, fine art, fashion and costume design and beyond to be part of this program.
Screening: Luxury is a program that critically explores the phenomenon of luxury and fashion. Collectively we aim to research its visual language. What is the meaning of it in a hyper-capitalist society in which ‘client is king’? Can we use luxury and fashion as a lens to unravel power structures, or as an indicator of inequality? How can we use its glossiness in a subversive way, to reimagine our future? Show us what you’ve got!
Our studio is located at a lively thoroughfare on the edge of central The Hague, The Netherlands. Strolling around from their homes to work/for the sake of Chinese food/to go to the mosque/for shopping/amids The Hague’s contemporary art scene/to the cinema/to the red light district, your work will reach a diverse audience passing by our studio. Screening: Luxury is part of contemporary art tour Hoogtij.
Selected filmmakers will receive 1151 euro artist fee to develop a suitable edit of their submitted work. Our big windows will operate as three separate portrait orientated projection surfaces, ready for you to be covered with moving images. Please note that the screening does not allow sound. Technical support for installing the work will be provided.
Deadline for submission is 18 August, 23:59 h. Applications will be reviewed by an external selection committee. This year's committee consists of Verena Blok (lens based artist), Bao Yao Fei (curator Design Museum Den Bosch), Hilario A. Robis (shamanic and holistic healer, neighbour). The selection of the artists will be based on the quality of the work, the connection with the theme luxury and how it suits the given context of the window.
Questions concerning this open call can be sent to joost@daslebenamhaverkamp.com. Applicants will be notified about the selection results mid September.
DEADLINE: 18 August 2024, 23:59 h [closed]
We are looking forward to receiving your films!
