Curatorial Policy

VIVID’s curatorial policy aims to create audience access to both emergent talent and work of international significance. The programme aims to reflect the development of media arts through a juxtaposition of historical and contemporary practice to reveal the impacts of pioneering work on contemporary practitioners.

   

The majority of VIVID’s forward programme is self-initiated, arising from direct invitation to artists and curators. However, there will be opportunities to work with partners to develop offsite presentations and exhibitions, and in on occasion we will consider proposals from artists and curators (see below).

  

Artist and Curator Information

VIVID programmes up to two years in advance. The majority of VIVID’s programme is initiated by its programme team, with exhibitions, residencies and commissions arising from direct invitation to artists and curators.

  

Whilst it is not common for VIVID to accommodate unsolicited submissions within the programme, we do accept proposals for exhibitions of new or existing works at any time, although it is strongly recommended that artists and curators contact us first.

Proposals should consist of a statement, CV and appropriate visual material. Please enclose an SAE if you would like your material to be returned, and try to avoid sending masters.

  

The forward programme is reviewed in April and September.
