* in the UK on the BBC Big Screens

moves commissions and short residencies
To help artists to produce work moves introduces a brand-new programme of commissions and residencies with the aim of producing/commissioning every year at least one new work on the grounds of movement on screen. In order to maximise exposure moves is also seeking suitable partners to co-commission artistic work. The commissions/co-commissions will include a short residency in the North West during which artists are able to present their work in progress, meet with the artistic community and discuss their work publicly.
Artists are invited to contact moves all year around with innovative video and installation ideas that link in with the theme movement on screen. moves will meet several times a year to review the submitted proposals.
- Let us know your ideas -
Please do not hesitate to contact moves if you would like to discuss any creative ideas that link in with movement on screen, submit a proposal or have any questions about commissions and residencies.
We do not provide proposal forms as we believe it should be the artists’ freedom to present their work in the form of their choice (please bear in mind that moves needs to be able to identify the idea behind the work, please enclose any material that assists with this process).
