In spring 2009, Berlin will host the PICTOPIA festival, the world’s first ever large-scale presentation and celebration of the contemporary character phenomenon.
In March and April, this festival will be a meeting point for an international scene of designers, artists, producers and an interested public.
At the heart of the festival is an exhibition which explores the huge diversity of the character universe, where artists remix and sample, condense the surreal and uncanny, inflate all proportions and stage bizarre rituals to introduce their characters into contemporary culture. And you are welcome to become a part of it!!
Pictoplasma offers young and upcoming artists the opportunity to present their character driven work to a wide, international and interested audience.
As part of the official Character Walk, running from the 17th to the 21st of March 2009 and opening the world’s largest festival of contemporary character design and art, the renown project space General Public in the center of Berlin will serve as the perfect stage for the winning proposal.
The awarded artist will receive up to 10 days of accommodation in Berlin from the 11th to the 21st of March 2009, a grant of 500,- Euros to help realize the submitted proposal, all our support to set up the exhibition in the “General Public”, as well as free entry to all of the Pictoplasma Festival and Conference events.
PICTOPIA is open to your wildest, most daring, stylistically sure-footed character exhibition proposals, not limited to any media or style, ranging from video work, photography, performance, installation, painting, print, drawings or sculpture.
Deadline: 26th of January 2009
All info: Pictoplasma Residency
Animation submission deadline is 15 of January. More.
Something strange, something odd, something alive...
