ABOUT URBAN SPACE 2008
URBAN SPACE is a photographic traveling exhibition open to international artists.

Focusing on the aesthetics of large urban centers as a theme, URBAN SPACE curates works of photography, performance and interventions and is exhibited as a projected slideshow at selected festivals and galleries around the world.

The first edition of URBAN SPACE - a projection of 530 images from over 23 countries - was first premiered at the renowned media arts foundation Oi Futuro in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in July 2007. The show has since travel to be screened at several exhibitions and festivals worldwide, including: ECCO during Brasilia's FotoArte, Sao Paulo's Galeria Vermelho, the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural Center in New York, as well as showings at the Fotopub07 festival in Slovenia.

Future screenings are scheduled for Lisbon, Porto, New York City, Chicago, Montreal, Buenos Aires and Caracas.

The 2008 edition of URBAN SPACE is curated around the theme of “URBAN COMMUNITIES” and looks to examine the diverse formation of local communities, informal situations and other site-specific representations of contemporary urban existence. Anonymity. Survival. Decadence. Defiance.

Works may include photographic documentation of performances and site specific actions, digital interventions as well as traditional still photography.

Hola Wooloo friends

I wanted to submit some photos to the Urban Space project, but they were already chosen to take part on the New Life Visuals File this year. It´s the same work I have uploaded to my Wooloo account, could I submit it anyway to Urban Space?

Thanks a lot
cheers

claudiaschulz BRAZIL May. 12, 2008 11:26
hi, i missed the deadline for US-2008, will there be a possibility that registration may be extended a bit more or is it absolutely closed?

thanks,
Claudia

Hola Luana,

Just talked to the URBAN SPACE curators and the selection process have already gone into final stage as the project has been closed for submissions for a while.So I think it would be a shame to spend time on.
However, I can tell you that we are currently planning another screening of the New Life Visuals in the end of June.
More details soon.

Best,

Wooloo

Hello,

I'm just curious when the artists will be announced for 2008? I thought the date was May 18th, but perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly!

Thanks!

Dear Artists,

Following an enormous influx of applications we have now made our selections for both the Official and Honor Roll projections, and we are currently informing participants as to their status. This process should be completed by 8pm today, May 22.

Wooloo apologizes for the delay!
Thanks to all submitting artists for such a intense review process! The works from this year blew us away!

The projections will be premiered on June 4 at 10pm in KiM.
KiM is located at 10 Brunnenstrasse
UBahn Rosenthaler Platz

Thanks and Obrigado!

Hello,

I received an e-mail from wooloo telling I had got an honorable mention in urbanspace 2008. Therefore, three photos of mine would be projected. But the project I submitted was composed by only one photograph.

How is this going to be done? I will be in the honor roll with one photo or should I send more? What is the real difference between official selection and honor roll?

Thank you very much,

Bernardo Schorr

Hi.... thanks for including me as an honorable mention in Urban Space.Will this exhibition travel and if so where and when? Will you be letting us know? I am in NYC, so I was wondering if it is coming back to the CSV Cultural Center. Thanks again, and keep us posted with what is going on.

peace,

DIPTICO3
BY FELIPE VARANDA
This project is composed of 10 photographic diptichs and triptychs exploring the urban visual through city buses. The choice to show the photographs juxtaposed this way is to reinforce the idea of sequence typical from the continuous flow of traffic and visual saturation.

Through a combination of photographs and computer-generated
