Intermediate: An Open Call for Video Works
In conjunction with Disappearing—California, c. 1970: Bas Jan Ader, Chris Burden, Jack Goldstein and Tuesday Evenings: Films, the Modern’s education department is pleased to announce an open call for video works, Intermediate.
Submissions to Intermediate should interpret the work and inquiries of Bas Jan Ader, Chris Burden, and Jack Goldstein as they intersect with the exploration of non-narrative forms and the symbiotic relationship between performance art and documentation.
Selected works will be curated by the Modern's education department into a special screening to launch the Tuesday Evenings: Films summer programming on June 11, 2019.
An artist evening, open to the public, with special invitations for Intermediate submitters, will take place on May 14 from 6 to 8 pm.
