Video Out Distribution
Call for Video Submissions | “Anniversary Time !”
Deadline: June 1st 2018
Video Out is seeking works that address… the last 45 years!
2018 marks the 45th anniversary of VIVO Media Arts. If you’ve been meaning to do something with those old tapes sitting in storage, now is the time to digitize and create a new work! This is a call for celebration, but also (and as always) for critical engagement in the medium of video — the medium of ‘narcissism’ as writer Rosalind Krauss so canonically put it, that resulted in Video Inn, Video Out, and the Satellite Video Exchange Society. How far have we come, and where might we be headed? Appropriation, homage, reassemblage are just a few of the possible approaches one might take to address the past in a constantly renewing present. Inter-media and installation works are welcome!
To submit, please send a weblink of the work, a short synopsis, and an artist bio to: distribution@vivomediaarts.com.
Digital (including digitized film/video) submissions only, maximum two submissions per artist. Send your submission
with the subject: AnniversaryTime_LastName by June 1st, 2018.

VIVO is located in the homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples in a warehouse space at 2625 Kaslo Street south of East Broadway at the end of E 10th. Transit line 9 stops at Kaslo Street on Broadway. From the bus stop, the path is paved, curbless, and on a slight decline. The closest skytrain station is Renfrew Station, which is three blocks south-east of VIVO and has an elevator. From there, the path is paved, curbless, and on a slight incline. There is parking available at VIVO, including wheelchair access parking. There is a bike rack at the entrance. The front entrance leads indoors to a set of 7 stairs to the lobby.
A wheelchair ramp is located at the west side of the main entrance. The ramp has two runs: the first run is 20 feet long, and the second run is 26 feet. The ramp is 60 inches wide. The slope is 1:12. The ramp itself is concrete and has handrails on both sides. There is an outward swinging door (34 inch width) at the top of the ramp leading to a vestibule. A second outward swinging door (33 inch width) opens into the exhibition space. Buzzers and intercoms are located at both doors to notify staff during regular office hours or events to unlock the doors. Once unlocked, visitors can use automatic operators to open the doors.
There are two all-gender washrooms. One has a stall and is not wheelchair accessible. The other is a single room with a urinal and is wheelchair accessible: the door is 33 inches wide and inward swinging, without automation. The toilet has 11 inch clearance on the left side and a handrail.
To reach the bathrooms from the studio, exit through the double doors and proceed straight through the lobby and down the hall . Turn left, and the two bathrooms will be on your right side. The closest one has a stall and is not wheelchair accessible. The far bathroom is accessible.
