SAW Video Feature Video Fund Recipient

Congratulations to this year's recipient of SAW Video’s Feature Video Fund: Sandra Chwialkowska for "In the Moment".

Thank you to everyone that applied to our Feature Video Fund. Our next deadline is for the SAW Video JumpstArt Fund. Applicants must apply before February 29, 2008. Program details, deadlines and descriptions for all of SAW Video's support programs are listed on our website at www.sawvideo.com.

SAW Video is launching a new initiative with the goal of increasing accessibility to our workshops and artists' training to those who would otherwise be unable to afford it. We are offering 4 workshop subsidies to be applied directly towards workshops of their choice. The subsidies will cover 100% of the cost of one workshop per recipient as well as a one-year basic membership to SAW Video. This is a great opportunity for low-income emerging or established artists to receive training and to become more involved in the centre.

In order to apply for this subsidy program we will need to receive a one-page letter of intent describing how taking a SAW Video workshop would specifically benefit you as an artist. We encourage applicants to self-identify as low income as these subsidies are available only to those who could not otherwise afford our workshop fees. This program is open both to existing SAW Video members and to the general public.

For information on the workshops we offer, go to http://www.sawvideo.com/sawvideo/workshopsx.php

The deadline for submission is Dec 1st, 2007.

Recipients will be able to use their subsidies for workshops scheduled after January 2008. Letters of intent may be dropped off in person at SAW Video during operating hours or may be emailed directly to ariel@sawvideo.com. Successful subsidy recipients will not be made public to the membership, and the results will remain confidential. If you have any further questions regarding the application process please contact SAW Video's workshop coordinator Ariel Smith at 613-238-7628 or at ariel@sawvideo.com.

Galerie SAW Gallery Call for submissions

Exhibition: Leaving Deep Water
Curator: Minh Nguyen
Deadline: November 30, 2007

In“The Site of Memory,”an essay written by the African American writer Toni Morrison, water, as “flooding,” is linked to the flow of cultural memory contained by images or pictures. Viscerally, water is also considered a purifier in most religions around the world, and is often believed to have spiritual powers. Colourless, tasteless and odourless, this essential substance of all forms of life is both an economic commodity and the source of many sociopolitical contentions throughout historical ages. To explore the expansive metaphorical nature of water, Galerie SAW Gallery invites submissions from artists in Canada and the US, emerging or established, and from culturally diverse communities.

The submitted works must demonstrate a strong intention in exploring the nature of water as a metaphorical element, a medium, a material, a site, or combination thereof. Works in drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, mixed media, installation, media art and Internet-based art will be considered. Proposals from performance artists are also welcome. The exhibition is scheduled to take place in the spring of 2008. All selected artists will receive an exhibition fee.

Please include: up to 10 images of your work (digital files, slides or prints), an image list, a CV (max. 3 pages), an artist statement (max. 300 words) and a self-addressed stamped envelope (if applicable). Please do not send original artwork. Submissions can be sent through regular mail or electronically. For digital images, please submit jpg files only, at a resolution of 72 dpi and 500 KB maximum. Title each file (image) with a number, your initials, the year and title of your work
(for example: 01MN2007LeavingWater.jpg)

Appel de dossiers
Exposition : Partir des eaux profondes
Commissaire : Minh Nguyen
Date limite : Le 30 novembre 2007

Dans son essai « The Site of Memory », l'auteure afro-américaine Toni Morrison tisse un lien entre l’eau – l’action d’inonder – et
l'écoulement de la mémoire culturelle, laquelle se manifeste en image et en représentation. Dans la plupart des religions, l'eau occupe une fonction purificatrice et possède une puissance spirituelle. Incolore, insipide et inodore, cet élément indispensable à toutes formes de vie est à la fois une denrée économique et la source de maints conflits socio-politiques au cours de l’histoire. Afin d’explorer le vaste champ métaphorique de l'eau, la Galerie SAW Gallery invite les artistes, établis ou en début de carrière, en provenance de communautés diverses, et installés au Canada ou aux États-Unis, à soumettre un dossier.

Les œuvres soumises doivent clairement démontrer l'intention d’explorer la valeur métaphorique de l'eau en tant qu’élément, médium, matériel, site, ou combinaison de ces dimensions. Les dessins, peintures, sculptures, estampes, photographies, installations et œuvres
médiatiques, multimédia et nouveaux médias seront considérés. Les propositions d’artistes de performance sont également bienvenues.
L'exposition se tiendra au printemps 2008, et les artistes choisis recevront des honoraires d'exposition.

Le dossier soumis doit comprendre : un maximum de 10 images de votre travail (fichiers numériques, diapositives ou copies couleur), une liste d'images, un CV (3 pages maximum), une démarche artistique (300 mots maximum), une enveloppe pré-affranchie (s'il y a lieu). Veuillez ne pas envoyer d’œuvres originales. Les soumissions peuvent être envoyées par poste régulière ou par voie électronique. Pour les fichiers numériques, veuillez soumettre vos images en format .jpg seulement, à une résolution de 72 dpi et d’une taille maximale de 500 KB. Intitulez chaque fichier (image) avec un chiffre, vos initiales, l'année et le titre de votre
travail (par exemple : 01MN2007Eau.jpg).
