Spier wine farm will present the sixth edition of Spier Light Art at the historical estate from 1 March to 1 April 2024, and is calling on artists to enter their works for the exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you make art with light as a medium, have works that use light in some form, are interested in creating an artwork with light or are a video artist, then this call is for you. The success of previous years\u2019 highlights the event\u2019s significance in the cultural landscape of the Western Cape and shows the potential of this unique art form to encourage viewers to reflect on contemporary South Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Artists and designers are invited to submit expressions of interest for projects and video-based artworks that engage all age groups. The call for submissions is open to all performance and visual artists, designers, and architects working with light, sound and\/or video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Spier Arts Trust will completely or partially fund installations chosen by the Selection Committee, headed by curators Jay Pather and Vaughn Sadie. The selection is not confined to a theme, but themes that artists may use as a prompt include the ethereal and the whimsical, artworks that speak to technology, issues that affect SA, resilience, enchantment and exuberance, and the working wine farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interested artists and designers can view the submission requirements and process at www.spier.co.za\/blog. The curatorial team will hold an online briefing tomorrow (Friday 15 September) at 17:30. Please RSVP to lightart@spier.co.za.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Email your expression of interest to lightart@spier.co.za before Wednesday 27 September. A more thorough proposal may be requested after the shortlist is announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
