SSA Annual Exhibition | CutLog | Viewpoint
CutLog are delighted to once again be collaborating with The Society of Scottish Artists for their upcoming exhibition at The Maclaurin Art Gallery in Ayr.
This year we are inviting Moving Image Artists from the SSA membership and CutLog to submit work in relation to our chosen theme ‘Viewpoint’.
Selected works will be presented as a programme of moving image works and will be shown within a dedicated room via single screen, large scale projection and after the exhibition will also be played for four weeks via the SSA website.
For this year’s theme ‘Viewpoint’ we aim to showcase how the artistic visions, observations and perspectives of moving image makers are translated through the digital lens. Note that there are no provisions for analogue playback for film reels. We invite submissions of works up to a maximum of 10 minutes in duration (including titles and credits) from any genre.
Submitted works can (but are not confined to) interpret this theme in its literal sense of a ‘point of view’ focusing on the outlook or perspective of a particular subject, object, time or space… Or more broadly, might reference the observations and artistic considerations inherent within the filmmaking process.
