Description

4th-WALL is Prospect Art’s programming arm dedicated exclusively to video art. We are a network of international organizations, galleries, artist collectives, and not-for-profit artist spaces interested in showing and promoting international video artwork in the framework of a video art biennial. We are looking for video works for our 2027 programming, “Change/Exchange.” Entries will be considered for physical exhibitions and screenings presented in Los Angeles, Lisbon, and Budapest, a series of online screenings on our BROADCAST program, as well as the publication of articles on our ONE WORK program that will provide critical context to the works included in the project. The organization of how the works will be presented and on what platform(s) will depend on the nature of the selected works and will be at the discretion of the curatorial team. We will select existing video works that resonate with the curatorial statement. We are looking for emerging and established visual artists who work in the medium of video from anywhere in the world. The works can be experimental, non-narrative, or narrative so long they are in the realm of video art, are conceptually based, and relate to the theme of the show, curated by Prospect Art's Curatorial Fellow Maximilian Lehner, with the technical support of Prospect Art's 4th-WALL Program Manager Pedro Inock. Single channel, multi-channel and video installations will be considered. Performance-based works that include video elements will not be considered, nor will video documentation of past performances or documentation of video installations. In addition to submitting existing works, you may also submit a project proposal to produce a new work in response to the Change/ Exchange theme. This added $1000 COMMISSION opportunity will be awarded to ONE artist to produce a new single-channel video work that will premiere on-line during the 2027 4TH-WALL Biennial. All selected artists will receive artist fees in line with W.A.G.E. guidelines.
