Artists� Association MUU announces an open call to artists to submit video performances to the international PERFORMANCE VOYAGE 4 event with the theme: Self-Portrait.

Performance art is almost invariably personal in one way or another, because all the aspects from idea to implementation to the performance itself tend to be done by the artist personally. The artist is present in his/her work, using his/her body to construct images, and often the work can be a self-portrait more or less. We are now looking for video performances in which self-portraiture plays an essential part. A performative self-portrait always has a temporal aspect, making it a moving, processual, evolving, multidimensional thing, even collective, because it can demonstrate the artist�s links to his/her environment and the people in it.

The open call for the Performance Voyage 4 selection is for recent video works, preferably 1�5 minutes in duration (max. 10 min). The compilation will be presented around Europe in 2014, with the premiere screening held in MUU gallery in Helsinki in 2014.
