Open Call for Submissions

You are invited to submit a proposal to Experimentica, Chapter’s annual festival of live and time-based arts

Over the last 8 years we have presented inspiring performance art from Japan, Canada, China and Mexico, cutting edge dance from Canada, Brazil, Australia and Korea alongside a selection of innovative performance, film, dance, music and installations from Wales.

Experimentica is an opportunity for recent graduates and experienced artists alike to present challenging, boundary defining new works within an international context. The five day event provides a focus for debate on issues surrounding performance and time based media and the opportunity to take risks and experiment.

Chapter’s redevelopment will be complete in the auumn and we look forward to introducing our growing audiences to exciting new work in enhanced and expanded spaces.

To be a part of Experimentica 09 submit a written proposal that includes:

• a descriptive statement of intended work/artist’s statement outlining specific concerns and interests.
• technical requirements and details of most appropriate venue or location
• any supporting materials (photos/slides/DVDs/CDs etc.)
• full contact details

Events will take place across a wide range of studio, cinema and public spaces at Chapter and in site specific locations. Chapter is able to provide technical support and resources for the production and exhibition of selected works as well as provide accommodation in Cardiff for the duration of the event.
