Video Commission Residency 2026- Call for Submissions
Attrition describes a condition shaped by sustained contact and duration, in images, in materials, in environments. Form and meaning change through processes that accumulate over time.
For this edition, artists are encouraged to consider how images and environments are worn down through use. Attention can move between the material image and the conditions that shape it. Surfaces erode. Signals weaken. Memory distorts. Landscapes, both physical and digital, carry traces of prolonged stress, circulation, and extraction.
Will it Bow -Kerrigan & Gage Salnikowski
May 27 – August 1, 2026
Step into the living room—part set, part signal—as Will It Bow? unfolds in an uncanny broadcast. Channelling 1990s children’s TV and scored with analog synths, everyday objects are bowed and transformed. Equal parts instructional and deconstructional, the installation invites visitors to sit, follow along, and experiment with the hidden acoustics of the familiar.
