Hong Kong II Call for Entries

Calling all artists and photographers! Slideluck is back in town for its second show after a fantastic debut last year. This year’s show will feature creative and thought-provoking submissions based around the theme of CONTRAST. In our vibrant community we often come face to face with incongruity and contradiction that inspires us to capture and make sense of the diversity, and sometimes hypocrisy of our complex city. We look forward to receiving a range of photographic, visual arts and multimedia submissions based on interpretations of this year’s theme!

What is Slideluck? Slideluck is a New York City-based non-profit arts organization that provides an opportunity for artists and arts-appreciators to gather around food, friends, and artwork for an unforgettable night. The evening begins with a potluck dinner lovingly provided by event attendees. When everyone has had their fill, we’ll dim the lights, hush the crowd, and begin a dynamic slideshow of visual art from over twenty artists. Slidelucks have been held around the world, including Istanbul, Bogota, and London, and we’re excited to be holding our second show in Hong Kong!

We are seeking inspiring and cohesive bodies of work from photographers and artists of all walks of life! Our events offer a wide range of emerging and established photographers and visual artists the opportunity to showcase their work to a local audience, but also globally through the Slideluck website.

The slideshow will consist of 20 artists, with each artist featuring up to five minutes of original work. In most cases, this is a photo essay of between 20 – 30 images. Every slideshow is set to open-sourced music or an audio recording (ambient sounds, live performance, spoken word etc.) that the artist has selected. For copyright purposes, all audio included in submissions must be open-sourced and can also be accessed through resources such as the Free Music Archive or Creative Commons. Past Slideluck contributors include: Chuck Close, Shepard Fairey, Elliott Erwitt, Inez and Vinoodh, JR, Spencer Tunick, Edward Burtynsky, Alex Prager, Gregory Crewdson, Lauren Greenfield, Nadav Kander and many others.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Submit your work for the chance to be shown at our October 16 show! Submissions should include:

– between 15-40 images, although we recommend 20-30

– images that are at least 1024×768 pixels in height

– open-sourced music or an audio recording selected or created by the artist. You can search for open-sourced music through resources such as Free Music Archive or Creative Commons or record your own ambient sounds, live performance or spoken word

For a step-by-step guide click on the submissions page or contact us at submissions@slideluck.com with direct questions. For more info on the event, shoot us a message at hongkong@slideluck.com.

The deadline to submit is September 21, 2015

And, as always, the potluck portion of the evening depends on YOU! So dust of those cookbooks and dig out grandma’s top secret recipe, we’re counting on your culinary creativity to make this a real community event.

Can’t wait to see you there!

什麼是Slideluck？Slideluck是一個來自紐約市的非牟利藝術組織，目的旨在將美食、好友和藝術品結合，讓藝術家和藝術同好者共聚，一起度過難忘的夜晚。當晚活動將由每一位參加者精心炮製的佳肴美食聚餐開始，晚飯過後，我們將調暗燈光，待人群安靜後，便開始放映二十位視覺藝術家作品的幻燈片。Slideluck已在世界各地成功舉辦過，包括伊斯坦堡、波哥大和倫敦，我們很高興能夠再次在香港舉辦第二場展覽會！
