On this page and in the sidebar throughout the rest of our website we have a dedicated space for video art and short films. We feature up to five videos at any one time which are randomised with every refresh or new page click. We also promote each new video with a blog post, meaning this is a great platform to showcase work.
If you would like a chance to see your video on Empty Shop.org please email a link to the film with a short statement about the work. The video needs to already be uploaded to a video networking site such as YouTube or Vimeo in order for it to work on our site.
Send all submissions, along with your name, links and relevant information, to exhibitions@emptyshop.org. We change the videos every month and submitting does not guarantee success. All video will go through a selection process and you will be notified if you have been chosen.

Title: Doublehead
Artist: Joanne Michelle Burke
Artist link: www.myspace.com/descry0
About: “Taken and adapted from a set of earlier installation work, “Descry”, and simplified. 2004.
Exploration of ideas of absence and presence, experience and the psychological space. There is an intimate process of alteration often concentrating on the minute movements or accidental revealings of the original footage. This live footage portrays situations and emotional states, yet, by process and placement they are distracted from their origin.”

Artist link: http://vimeo.com/user4218526
About: “44 packets of strawberry laces went into the making of this singular ball of strawberry lace. every piece was tied together like a piece of string and wound together like a ball of string. for the duration of the piece I achieve my goal of consuming the whole ball, using it up until it is all gone. that taste driving me back time and time again.”
