OTHER CONDITIONS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Up to two<\/strong> proposals can be made by each artist (or group of artists who work together).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/strong> micro digital and multi-media project space, London. There is no payment to the artists but we will offer the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* micro gallery space (4m x 2.8m) for exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* management of the exhibition including invigilating the space, ticket sales and promotion on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Artists will be invited to design a poster for their event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Artists who are based in London may be invited to do two sessions of artists talks. Income from the artist\u2019s talk will be split 70\/30 between Project <\/strong>DIVFUSE<\/b> and the artist. This will help to cover some of the overhead costs for running and managing the events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) If the work entails performances, again income from ticket sales will be split 70\/30 between Project DIVFUSE<\/strong> and the artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

10) Experimental or unfinished work-in-progress work are welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12) For any enquiry, please email divfuse@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQs<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Why does the work or series of work have to be between 40 and 60 minutes long?<\/em>
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Are you going to showcase work by different artists in the same screening sessions like a group show?<\/em>
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 <\/strong>exhibition house style – It is so that the focus goes to one artist at any given time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
