(The mirror stage) illustrates the conflictual
nature of the dual relationship [between the Ego and the body ]
Jacques Lacan
The stage is a mirror for all of
human experience.
Hung Hung
The Mirror Stage is the
deliberately ambiguous title and starting point for this event which
aims to explore the condition of contemporary art-video production,
both technically and conceptually. The exhibition will focus on: *
the dual nature of video as a documentary medium and as tool for
creative expression. * its inherent conflictual relationship between
its body (to record) and its ego (to create) The event will examine
the question of video integrity and authorship in an age of
deceptive and ambivalent mass media coverage.
We will favour
experimental videos using narrative and non-narrative contexts. NeMe
is currently accepting video submissions as follows: * maximum
duration: 15 minutes *
Submission formats: .mov, .avi,
.mpg2, miniDV (PAL) * submissions deadline: 20 February 2008 *

exhibitions, a symposium with lectures, workshops, guided tours, a
residence program, portfolio review and publications.
The
title of Backlight 2008 is: Tickle Attack
Tickle Attack is
about Humor, Laughter, Irony, Paradox and Absurd. Artists should
submit photography-based projects that express and reflect different
artistic perspectives and interpretations through various cultural
backgrounds.

also accepts photography-based projects that are combined with other
