The nodoCCS Video Festival was created from the intention of offering artists working with moving images the opportunity to have their videos seen in an open environment. Video as art has a large presence in international exhibitions and biennials, but can often be overlooked in a gallery. The nodoCCS festival aims to address this by providing a critical platform for artists to showcase their work and develop new audiences for their proposals. Open to national and international artists, the Festival program is selected through a non-thematic open call that occurs once a year.
The nodoCCS Festival program has been selected from over 460 proposals and the selected artists showcase the thematic concerns explored by the artists participating in the call. The domestic and banal, voyeurism and sexuality, the Internet and our relationships within the urban environment, are themes that have come naturally through the selection process. This new 2018 edition presents 46 selected videos, the selection includes proposals from 21 countries, USA - Spain - UK - Israel - Venezuela- Chile - Brazil - Senegal - Mexico - Peru - Japan - Canada - Romania - Italy - Ireland - Poland- Malaysia - Norway - Tajikistan - France - Argentina. The selection committee for this year's winners is composed of: Rolando Carmona (Venezuela), Moico Yaker (Peru), Sunya Madrigal (Mexico), Julie Nyman (Denmark), Gabriela Gamboa (Venezuela), Rrose Present (Spain), Sandra Vivas (Venezuela), Nella Ochoa (Venezuela). The winner of the IV nodoCCS Video Festival will have the opportunity to have an individual exhibition in Caracas next year.
The artists selected for the IV nodoCCS Video Festival are:
In addition to the selection of videos through the open call, this year the festival includes the proposal Marcantonio Lunardi, Italian artist winner of the III Video Festival 2017, his Solo Show "Shared Meanings" with text by Maria Bilbao-Herrera, founder of nodoCCS, and curatorship by Elena Marcheschi (Italy).
The IV nodoCCS Video Festival counts this year with the presence of Satoshi Tsuchiyama, Japanese artist living in New York, who will present a video specially created for this year's edition of the festival, a collaboration with Andrea Ludovic and body and dance artists from our country and with the screening of two invited festivals Miami New Media Festival (USA) and BF Artist Film Festival (UK).
Bernardo Risquez, Ezequiel Pizzani and Federico Blank Venezuelan djs will join us on the opening day, offering a live set of electronic music. Thanks to EZVisual for the images.
This event has been held for 4 consecutive years, and has been achieved thanks to the support of several companies and people who contribute their knowledge and time to make this festival possible, this year we especially thank Adriana Barrios founder of the Arts Connection Foundation, and the Miami New Media Festival, D'Museo and the Mercantil Foundation for their unconditional support and for believing in our proposal; Solera for joining us on the opening day, Cerquone Projects and all the artists who participate directly or indirectly in making this festival a reality. The philosophy of nodoCCS is based on the open participation of people who are committed to the new artistic proposals of the country and serves as a point of interconnection between parties that do not have to be related, working with non-linear structures.
