Showstudio Fashion Film Awards

Submit to Showstudio Fashion Film Awards

NICK KNIGHT'S BRIEF

I'm delighted you are considering entering the second SHOWstudio Fashion Film Award. To me, fashion film is simply fashion in motion. I believe it is the most exciting and dynamic way to show fashion as all great clothing is designed to be seen in movement. 

We are opening up this award to a global creative community and we have created an open platform to showcase submissions.  Your submitted films must have fashion as their subject - I would encourage you to look at the recent collections on SHOWstudio to get inspired.

I would also recommend having a look at some of the great fashion films on SHOWstudio, from our early work in 2000 through to our latest releases. Pieces like Girl, Sweet, #asif, In Bloom, Tom Ford S/S 16, Up/90210, Gareth Pugh S/S 18  and Brighton Sorts all show the diverse ways of embracing this medium.

I am not looking for narrative driven films, however films can be realistic or abstract. I am looking for beauty and emotion, not technical ability. For this reason, your pieces can be filmed on any device you choose. 

I believe fashion film stems from the same language as fashion photography. Therefore you can use any type of model, subject and garment that inspires you - I would encourage against using dancers or actors. 

Please be brave, take risks and become someone who defines this new medium. 

Submitted work will be up for the following awards:

- Best Fashion Film 

- Best Short Shorts: An animated gif. Up to 15 seconds in length

- Best Illustration in Motion: Film must be predominantly moving Fashion Illustration

- Best Long Format Film: A fashion documentary or long format film. 15 minutes of longer in length

- Best Animated Fashion Film: Film must be predominantly be animated by using either 2D, 3D, Motion Graphics, Stop Motion

- Best VR Film 

- Best Sound Design

- Best Commissioned Brand Fashion Film

Good luck and I look forward to seeing your work!

PrintAustin Invitational: flux

PrintAustin Invitational: flux

January 27 - February 18, 2018

Opening Reception: Saturday, January 27, 7-9PM
Location: Link & Pin Art Space, 2235 E. 6th Street, Austin, TX 78702
Gallery Hours: Friday - Sunday 11AM-4PM, or by appointment. To set up appointment call (512) 900-8952. For more information or for a guided tour of the exhibit, email Paloma Mayorga at art@palomamayorga.com, or visit bit.ly/PAflux.

Austin, TX -- The 2018 PrintAustin Invitational presents emerging perspectives in printmaking. Guest curated by Paloma Mayorga, flux explores the fluidity between traditional and nontraditional mediums. By fusing various disciplines with serigraphy techniques, featured artists Essentials, Mirjam Dijkema, Nansi Guevara, and Michael Menchaca offer local and international approaches to this medium.

The versatility of serigraphy lends itself to negotiate formal aspects of creating prints. A technique that was conventionally limited to a two dimensional surface, now permeates dimension and inhabits the viewer’s physical space. From collage to installation and textiles, the works in this exhibition make room for underrepresented narratives to flourish in a tradition-dominated field.

PrintAustin is a nonprofit organization working with organizations and individuals throughout the visual arts community to showcase fine art prints during an annual month-long event from January 15 through February 15, 2017. To learn more, visitwww.printaustin.org. The PrintAustin Invitational is PrintAustin's official exhibition of selected contemporary works in print.

ESSENTIALS: BIOCROMATIC - LUMINARIA 11/10/2017

Essentials

Essentials is a multi-media collective producing holistic applied arts experiences. These multi-faceted events incorporate disciplines such as photography, fashion, graphic design, video, projection, animation, music, and installation. Although a single image may include many Essentials members, there is always a unified vision of experimentation, fluidity, and diversity. 

Essentials creates a platform for underrepresented artists to express themselves and find support within their field. In the search for emerging talent, innovative voices, and unseen narratives, collaboration with other creatives is celebrated. Essentials is composed of and embraces artists of color, women, and members of the LGBTQ community.

Biochromatic 

Biochromatic examines the limitations and exploitations of human perception. Photography, print, projection, and installation are utilized to explore uncommon arrangements of light, such as those found in the fringes of the natural world or on the edges of the human visible spectrum. These medias are combined to reproduce the sensations one cannot directly experience, just as observational instruments require translation to explain such phenomena. 

In a second sense, Essentials subverts the pastoral narrative of natural discovery by presupposing the entrance of mass media. The eye is able to absorb an almost constant onslaught of information; but for all its abilities, modern media technology devalues and erodes this task of prehistoric survival. Advertorial predation on the sublime, and the relentless hypermedia that follows, is used to confront the resting state of perception. 

Biochromatic, loosely meaning “light produced by living organisms”, encompasses curiosities whose luminescence is unfamiliar, and the wholly human venture of illumination.

The Art of Looking

Location: San Antonio Central Library

Looking at shapes, angles, light and shadows of the architecture, our team was drawn to the San Antonio Central Library for it's multiple viewpoints. In my youth, I flipped through books, rented foreign movies and educated myself about arts and culture. I return to the library to photograph twins with fashion styling that flows with the geometric forms of the building. The final step is the layout for Instagram emphasizing geometric shapes of the architecture. For me 'the art of looking' is about walking around, seeing art from different perspectives, contemplating, and being on the lookout for inspiration.  -Fabian Villa @fabianvillaimage
