WORMS FESTIVAL 6

(Thursday) 28 October to 18 November (optional extension to 3 Dec)


Consummate Consumption: Sex Violence & Pop Corn


Curatorial Brief

In In/Different Spaces: Places & Memory in Visual Culture by Victor Burgin, the experience of leaving the cinema is described as “a bit like getting out of bed: not always easy.” “Lassitude, inertia, torpor; a body becomes soporific, soft, limp; a loss of reality, a porosity to the strangeness of the world, a hallucinatory vivacity of sensations” - these have been ascribed to the subject who has “fallen prey to the filmic state”.

Exactly what happens at the cinema?

Plastique Kinetic Worms invite artists to examine/critique/parody the social, psychological, cultural habits of going to the cinema.

Works may be in any medium.

Submissions in the form of written concepts, including sketches and budget estimates should reach PKW no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday, September 15.

Successful submissions will receive a modest artist fee and part material costs.

Applicants will be informed by September 17.

The Worms Festival is a multi-disciplinary event hosted by Plastique Kinetic Worms annually since 1998. The festival aims to encourage dialogues/ conversations on culture and the contemporary art practice. Plastique Kinetic Worms is a not-for-profit artists-run space dedicated to producing critical and theoretically informed works. It is about engendering the artist’s practice by encouraging research, reflection and cross cultural/cross discipliinary collaborations. It is that exciting, autonomous space of possibility - between the art-school and the art museum.
