call for submissions - an exhibition

Description
A call for visual and media artists, musicians film makers and architects animators and other to create and submit a flipbook, which is based on their own practice. We are looking for flipbooks, which are newly made and by artists who come from different disciplines and with different approaches.
There is no need to follow the conventional flipbook's format but follow the basic instructions so when flipping through the book there will be a sequence - moving images.
The flipbooks will be showing in an exhibition, d a u n m a n k i n o - t h u m b c i n e m a, which will take place at bookartbookshop, Pitfield Street, London in March. There will be a launch.
bookartbookshop – artists book and small press publications – is the UK’s largest stockiest of Artists’ Books and small press publications. Therefore, it has a unique knowledge of contemporary books by artists. It has augmented collections at varies universities, as well as collections at V&A and Tate. It carries work both by new and established UK artists and presses. Many of these artists had exhibitions and book launches in the shop. These exhibitions allow to promote and display a wide breadth of work from single artist or publisher and provide a point of entry for new audience.
The deadline for submitting the Flipbook is Friday, February the 26th, 2010.
