Dedalo invites artists working in all printmaking media from around the world to participate in “Printmaking Today”, an international print exhibition and competition of Fine Art Printmaking which will be held in Italy.

This event is patronized by the Abruzzo Region, the municipality of Castiglione and the province of Pescara. The first prize is a solo show in Italy and a custom-made website with domain name (www.yourname.com) including webhosting for one year.

”Printmaking Today” is to be considered a celebration of printmaking, therefore any traditional or contemporary printmaking media is allowed (including artists' books). There are no specific guidelines or restrictions for being included in the show, but curators will exclude works from the show if considered inappropriate.

All works received will be in the show which will be hosted in Abruzzo, Italy in Dedalo Center for Contemporary Art, and in the castle of Castiglione, in the Museum of Castiglione which is housed in a medieval fort/castle in Abruzzo, from July 18th to July 24th 2008. Additionally, all works submitted will be visible online for one year on www.centrodedalo.it with artists' contact information.

A selected jury will evaluate all works received and will assign an award (a solo show and internet website) based on quality of image, concept and inventiveness.
The jury:
Colleen Corradi- printmaker and curator
Tomomi Ono - artist printmaker
Paolo Cospito - photographer
Annarita Gaeta - artist
Rolando Fidani - artist

Each artist must submit a minimum of two (2) and no more than ten (10) prints. Two copies of a single print or single copies of different works may be submitted up to a total of ten. The submissions will be divided with half hung at the Dedalo Art Center and the other half in the Museum

Prints submitted must be signed and numbered.
All works must be received on or before June 30th 2008 with an artist statement and contact information.

To express your interest in participating in this exhibition, please email us your details (name and number of prints to submit with dimensions). This will help us with the organization as well as order enough frames ahead of time.

All works sent are to be considered a donation of the participating artists to Dedalo and the museum archives for the Castle of Castiglione. All artists will receive a statement indicating where their print is stored (Dedalo or museum). Prints will not be for sale. However in case of interest, we will put in touch the artist directly with the potential buyer.

Participating artists may not ask for any form of compensation or return of works.

All works must be sent with an application form and brief cv or artist statement to:

The Theme: Money Money Money

“Don’t try to keep up with the Joneses. They have more money than we.” (Dizzy Gillespie)

We would like to invite filmmakers from around the world to submit short films (animation, music video, artist films, narrative, documentary etc.) up to 10 minutes on the theme “Money Money Money”. Think about the poor and the stinking rich, the stingy and the philanthropists. Think about what you could do with a million, but don’t forget what some people can do without a penny. You could explore capitalism, communism or globalisation. If you feel like it check out the price for a barrel of oil. If you think money can buy you love, then make a film about that. And what about haggling, gambling and shopping therapy? Don’t try to keep up with the Joneses but do better than them and send us the best film you can make!

What makes this contest different from any other short film contest is that the audience will be able to bet on which film will be the winner – however, bets must be placed before the screening. Trailers of the films chosen for BoSs 2008 will be streamed on our website and in the participating venues a week before the screening. In addition all contestants will be asked to write a short but informative blurb about their film and give some background information about themselves. This information, together with a still from the film will be available to the audience ca. 2 hours before the screening, when they will also be asked to place their bets.

Entry Procedure: The entry form with all required information accompanied by a DVD-preview copy should reach us by 15 August 2008. For preview only DVD copies will be accepted. If the original language of the film is not English, the preview copy should be subtitled.

Please note that we can only accept one film per director.

Selection and Notification: As we expect to receive several hundred submissions we regret that we can only write to the selected filmmakers. If you have not heard from us by end of September 2008 please assume that you have not been successful this time.

Dispatch Costs: The applicant is responsible for the costs of sending the preview copy and, should the film be selected, also the screening copy. Preview copies can only be returned if the applicant provides a self-addressed and stamped envelope.

Please send your preview copy to:
“Betting on Shorts” – London Consortium – Institute of Contemporary Arts
Address: 12 Carlton House Terrace – London SW1Y 5AH – U.K.

Entry forms must be submitted electronically at http://bettingonshorts.com/pages/en/entry-form.php
and must also be printed out and sent with the preview copy.

For further information please do not hesitate to contact us at the above address or at:
Tel.: ++44 (0)20 7893 8669  Fax: ++44 (0)20 7930 9896
