S1 Artspace is inviting submissions for the next season of artists’ film & video screenings:
S1 SALON 2012
Since 2003, the S1 SALONS have presented over 150 films and videos by artists based internationally. We are inviting artists to submit works for three new programmes of screenings to be premiered at S1 Artspace during March 2012 which will later tour a number of UK and European venues.
There are no stipulations for entrants or material other than each work must be no longer than 10 minutes duration. Each SALON screening will also feature selected film & video works from each of this years selectors -
LISA LE FEUVRE, LINDER and BEN RIVERS.
This year, all the works submitted to the salon will form part of the new S1 Artspace Salon Archive, to be launched in 2012.

S1 SALON 2012 will be selected by a panel, comprised of guest selectors Lisa Le Feuvre, Head of Sculpture Studies at The Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, artist Linder Sterling and artist Ben Rivers.
Lisa Le Feuvre is Head of Sculpture Studies at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds. She is co-curator, with Tom Morton, of The British Art Show 7: In the Days of the Comet, currently showing in Plymouth, and of Stephen Sutcliffe: Runaway, Success, currently showing at Stills, Edinburgh. Until 2010 she was based in the Department of Art at Goldsmiths and, until 2009, Curator of Contemporary Art at the National Maritime Museum, London. In 2010 she was editor of the Whitechapel/MIT Press publication, Failure.
Linder (born in Liverpool, 1954) has explored the terrain of socially and culturally reinforced norms and expectations of gender identity, sexual commodification and represented desire since the mid-1970s. Linder’s early career was forged in the punk and post-punk scenes of Manchester in the 1970s, where her influence and involvement in these circles manifested itself broadly in music, performance, publishing and art making. Her position has consistently and uncompromisingly embraced radical feminist perspectives rethinking the cultural treatment of the female body in particular, and in the collages, photomontages and performances Linder has made since this time, she sets about recasting and colliding the ideals of commercially and culturally rendered expectations of gender-specificity and identity. Linder has exhibited internationally with recent solo shows at Stuart S
have / Modern Art, London, Sorcha Dallas, Glasgow, PS1/MoMA, New York and BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead.
Ben Rivers (born in Somerset 1972, lives and works in London) trained at Falmouth School of Art. His practice as a filmmaker treads a line between documentary and fiction. Often following and filming people who have in some way separated themselves from society, the raw film footage provides Rivers with a starting point for creating oblique narratives and imagining alternative existences in marginal worlds. He has received a number of commissions and awards including the London Artists Film and Video Award, 2007, the Paul Hamlyn Award for Artists, 2010, the Baloise Art Prize, 2011, and was shortlisted for the Jarman Award, 2010. Recent solo shows include Sack Barrow, Statements, Art Basel/Hayward Gallery, London; Slow Action, Matt's Gallery, London; Origin of the Species, Kate MacGarry, London; A World Rattled o
f Habit, A Foundation, Liverpool, 2009; Nought To Sixty, ICA, London, 2008.
