AT HOME IN EUROPE

Gen­er­ous European Culture2000 fund­ing enables ISIS Arts (UK) and it’s
inter­na­tional pro­ject part­ners BEK (Norway), Inter­Space (Bul­garia) and
RIXC (Latvia) to curate a NEW SCREEN­ING PRO­GRAMME around the theme of
European Iden­tity for the Big M, ISIS Art’s inflat­able tour­ing space.

Daily, more and more European people decide to live in other European
coun­tries. With a shift­ing concept of nation­al­ity it becomes
increas­ingly import­ant to con­sider what it means to be European. Is
there such a thing as European Iden­tity and how does it relate to
national iden­tity?
For this pro­gramme we invite sub­mis­sions of films or video works on this
theme from artists of any nationality.

Selec­ted works will become part of the new screen­ing pro­gramme which
will tour to the four part­ner­ing coun­tries between May 2007 and
Septem­ber 2007.
Work will be selec­ted through open sub­mis­sion. In order to be con­sidered
indi­vidual works must:

• Have a run­ning time of 5 minutes or less
• Be single chan­nel and non interactive
• Address the pro­ject theme

Selec­ted artists will receive an exhib­i­tion fee of € 300 (The Big M is
not a com­mer­cial ven­ture and admis­sion is free). Copy­right remains
solely with the artist.

The Big M is a highly styl­ised inflat­able struc­ture that func­tions as a
tem­por­ary and mobile venue for the present­a­tion of video and digital
media. Unique in both design and func­tion, the Big M provides an
altern­at­ive to the con­ven­tional gal­lery set­ting and exhib­its work by
emer­ging and estab­lished artists to diverse audi­ences.
