The mandate of the festival, held in Tenerife since 1991 and a driving engine for photography in the Canary Islands and further afield, is to enable and promote a wide-ranging rethinking of the image as a means of expression, communication and participation.
Originally based upon the study, discussion and display of photography, over the years Fotonoviembre has gradually incorporated other forms of expression that are key to understanding our society as a visual culture. Quality, professionalism and participation from a great number of artists and institutions have ensured the success of FOTONOVIEMBRE over the years, as it seeks to keep its finger on the pulse of contemporary photography and how it connects with other disciplines.
The 16th edition of the International Photography Biennial, FOTONOVIEMBRE, is organised by the Cabildo de Tenerife through the Tenerife Centre for Photography, TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes.
The selection period is now open, during which five artists will be chosen to form part of the section entitled Artistas en Selección (Artists in Selection), at the FOTONOVIEMBRE 2021 biennial taking place from October to December 2021, directed by Teresa Arozena.
Artistas en Selección is an exhibition that is open to all artists who use photography, video and/or installations as a means of expression, and for those who do not work within thematic or conceptual limits. The aim is to present the medium in its current form, as well as potential emerging artists, unlike the Sección Oficial (official section), which is developed along the lines of a specific theme, as defined by curators among the artistic directors of the festival.
Artistas en Selección is one of three categories that make up the 2021 FOTONOVIEMBRE biennial, which is celebrating its 30th edition this year, along with the Sección Oficial and Atlántica Colectivas.
Those interested in participating in Artistas en Selección have to submit their work until 11 May 2021. Please send an email to [email protected] attaching all required documents.
Further information and application forms can be found on 'Artistas en Selección'. Fotonoviembre 2021 - TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes.
Proposals (max. 2 per participant) should be accompanied by a written description of the theoretical concept and the technical requirements for exhibition (specifying whether it is a photo, video or installation); images, an artistic biography of the author; and a synopsis of the project. Applicants may also include complementary information relating to the proposal, such as publications, reviews, comments or links.
Proposals that are not selected for Artistas en Selección will be automatically entered into the category Atlántica Colectivas. Selected artists for the category "Artistas en Selección" will receive 4,000€ as a fee and to cover the costs of production of the artwork. In addition, of the five chosen proposals, one will be selected as the Artista en Selección by the event sponsors, Fundación MAPFRE Guanarteme, who will be hosting the collection in their premises.
