GLOW NEXT OPEN CALL FOR PROJECTS!

1 Aug 2013

For the first time, GLOW NEXT announces the Open Call for art projects. The winning project will premier during GLOW NEXT, from 9 November until 16 November in Eindhoven. Glow-Next is looking for submissions of new light art works that address the phenomenon of light, use light in a unique and/or innovative way and fit within the theme ‘PLAYGROUND’. This new to-be-developed artwork needs to be suitable for outdoors (in all weather conditions) and - obviously - in the dark.

An expert jury, chaired by former Philips Electronics The Netherlands president Jan Post and consisting of GLOW-director Robbert ten Caten, light artist Daan Roosegaarde, creative entrepreneur Ted Langenbach and GLOW NEXT-curator Olga Mink will be judging all proposals. The winner will be selected by mid-August. We warmly invite makers, artists, engineers and designers to submit light work proposals for the before 1 August 2013.
