OTHER CONDITIONS:
1) Up to two proposals can be made by each artist (or group of artists who work together).
2) The work or series of work shall be between 40 and 60 minutes long and can be made up of different pieces/parts. An example would be 20 minutes diffusing recording materials plus 20 minutes performance.
3) Selected work will EACH be shown in multiple screening sessions for a weekend (Saturday and Sunday) for free between March and June 2025 at Project DIVFUSE micro digital and multi-media project space, London. There is no payment to the artists but we will offer the following:
* micro gallery space (4m x 2.8m) for exhibition.
* basic equipments for use for the screenings inside the gallery, including 2 x small Genelec speakers on stands, a Genelec subwoofer, a projector and a laptop to play digital file(s) from.
* management of the exhibition including invigilating the space, ticket sales and promotion on social media.
4) Artists whose work is selected will have to make sure that any digital files reach the project space at least a week before the exhibition. Additional information such as images from the work will also be required for social media posting.
5) Artists will be invited to design a poster for their event.
6) Artists who are based in London may be invited to do two sessions of artists talks. Income from the artist’s talk will be split 70/30 between Project DIVFUSE and the artist. This will help to cover some of the overhead costs for running and managing the events.
7) If the work entails performances, again income from ticket sales will be split 70/30 between Project DIVFUSE and the artist.
8) If the work does not require the artist’s presence e.g. only requires diffusion or screening, then all income that may come from ticket sales will go to Project DIVFUSE.
9) No drilling onto the walls is allowed. We can work out other ways of hanging the work if this is required but please bear this in mind when making a submission.
10) Experimental or unfinished work-in-progress work are welcomed.
11) Results will be announced by mid February 2026.
12) For any enquiry, please email divfuse@gmail.com.
FAQs:
Q: Why does the work or series of work have to be between 40 and 60 minutes long?
A: This is to encourage artists to think in the context of an exhibition. How long would you like the audience to experience the work for if they come to see a show? The 40 – 60 minutes can be made up of different parts, pieces or fragments but do think about the connections between different elements.
Q: Are you going to showcase work by different artists in the same screening sessions like a group show?
A: No. Each artist will have a weekend to show their work and their work only and that’s why the piece/series cannot be too short. This is the Project DIVFUSE exhibition house style – It is so that the focus goes to one artist at any given time.
