Application requirements and considerations
Point, Line, Form, Color, Texture, Dimension, Motion, Symmetry / Asymmetry, Positive / Negative. Designers who want to participate in the CAMEKÂN project should act on one to three of these titles that form the basis of design. The different concepts and the structure of the work to be added to them are entirely at the discretion of the designers.
The designs that will be produced will be exhibited in a 2.5 m x 2.4 m, 30 cm deep display. You can think of your work in three dimensions or in two dimensions and use different materials or printing methods such as typography, photography, and video.
When designing the project, you should keep in mind that there are two more windows on the front facade of the İKSV Lower Floor and these visuals are included in the Istanbul Culture and Arts Foundation. You should make sure that your project has a structure that will not lose its visibility next to these two glasses.
Designers should not be older than 26 years.
It is possible to participate in the project from cities other than Istanbul, but the transportation costs should be covered by the designers if they need to come to Istanbul after the acceptance phase, both during the preparation and installation process.
Applicants must be students, or graduates, of graphic design or visual communication design departments of universities.
Designers should be aware that a limited budget for projects (maximum 2,000 TL per project) will be worked.
The deadline for applications is 19 June 2019 at 18.00. Click here for the application form.
