The Rencontres Internationales is now open for entries and will take place at the Centre Pompidou, and other places in Paris from November 25 to December 4, 2010. The same program will be shown in Madrid in April 2011 and in Berlin in July 2011.

The Rencontres Internationales offer more than just a simple presentation of the works. It introduces an intercultural forum gathering various guests from all over the world - artists and filmmakers, institutions and emerging organizations - to testify to their reflections and their experiences, but also to artistic and cultural contexts that are often undergoing deep changes. The Rencontres Internationales reflect specificities and convergences of artistic practices between new cinema and contemporary art, explore emerging media art practices and their critical purposes, and make possible a necessary time when points of view meet and are exchanged.

These three events will propose an international program dedicated to cinema, contemporary video  and multimedia work, gathering works by artists and directors recognized on the international scene along with younger artists and directors.

Information

All individuals or organizations can submit one or several proposals. The call for entries is open to cinema, video and multimedia works, without any restriction of length or genre. All submissions are free, regardless of geographical origin.

Submit work for the 14th annual No Dead Artists Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Art.

Information

The No Dead Artists exhibition was founded in 1995 to give a voice to emerging artists. The exhibition’s name is derived from the old adage that artists never achieve any success until they die. No Dead Artists turns that on its head and gives emerging artists their first break into the art world. In the 90’s, the exhibition was open only to New Orleans artists and then it grew to include artists of Louisiana.
The exhibition has been a springboard for many artists, leading to press coverage, national recognition, gallery representation and acquisitions by museums and other prominent collections. Each year gallery owner, Jonathan Ferrara, invites a panel of renowned arts professional and collectors to select the newest creative talents. Past jurors have included Prospect.1 Founder and Curator Dan Cameron, Museum Director Billie Milam Weisman, Artist Tony Fitzpatrick, MacArthur Fellow John Scott and Ogden Museum Director David Houston.
