[im] Open Call for Writing on Art Memes

[Barnabás Bácsi]

Freeze Magazine is collaborating with Open Space to commission writing
about art memes. Whilst the mighty rise of the meme in contemporary society
is undeniable, they’re given very little serious credit in the art world
for their potential to entertain, educate and offer critique. We’re looking
for writers who are bringing attention to art memes—whether through the
lens of art theory or by placing them within the canon of art history, for
example—and present their argument in a short, succinct text. With a
suggested word count of 500, we are seeking submissions that push the
boundaries of meme analysis and understanding, but written in a way that
feels accessible and not overly didactic.

The purpose of this open call is to broaden the accessibility and
understanding of memes and adjacent cultural trends and analysis, bridging
issues that may include (but are not limited to) subjects like: feminism,
critical race theory, post-colonialism, accelerationism, ecology, etc.

Each winning writer will:
--Receive prize money of £100
--Have the opportunity to discuss their ideas and develop their writing
with the help of the guest judges, Freeze Magazine and the Open Space team
--Have their writing published on the Open Space website
--Have their work promoted on the Open Space and Freeze Magazine Instagram
accounts

Rules:
This open call is worldwide.
Entries will be closed after the first 100 applications or by 14 March,
whichever comes first.
Winners will be announced on 29 March.
Final texts due 25 April.
Writers may only apply once.
