Call for Entries: ‘All that is solid’ – the third Animate OPEN
Skwigly
The international call for submissions for the third Animate OPEN is now live.
The theme All that is solid is taken from the Communist Manifesto: All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and [people are] at last compelled to face with sober senses, [their] real conditions of life.
The Animate OPEN sets out to celebrate, subvert and confound expectations of what animation is. It will bring together different artistic approaches that connect through their exploration of the concept of animation, both as a contemporary art and craft practice. They are looking for artists’ animation that explores form and technique and has an experimental approach. The Animate OPEN is run by Animate Projects, an agency based in Derby, UK, that champions experiment in animation, in partnership with QUAD Gallery, Derby, where the programme will screen in February 2025.
Selected artists will receive a £300 GBP fee. There will be Jury and Audience prizes of £1000 GBP. The submission deadline is 16 October 2024.
