samplesize: is a new Canadian web-initiative which aims to bring together artists, curators and writers in order to experiment, collaborate, exhibit and exchange…It is equal parts web-magazine, project space, gallery, data base and playground.

How the Project Started:

I was drunk. In the beginning I contacted artists directly (to get the site going), now all content comes in on its own.

Artists, Curators, Collaborators, Conspirators:

see the following link for a list of all our contributors:

Audience, Reactions, Anecdotes, Stories:

Everybody and their dog. According to web stats (30% Canadian / 70%  international)

How to get Involved:

artist projects:
pretty much anything goes..."BUT ONLY IF I LIKE IT" (sorry but life isn't a warm fuzzy collectively-democratic blanket) Right now were limited to about 3+MB average for quick-time videos...that may change if we ever get our shit together! Feel free to submit more than one project.

samplesize gallery:
the samplesize gallery will hold on-line exhibitions derived from your submissions as well as those organized in-house. Each show will run for a minimum of 2 months and we are always open. Proposals are welcome at anytime and there are no restrictions to medium or content only quality. Send us a few jpegs and a bit of text along with your cv...We also welcome reviews of the exhibits in the gallery under our review section.

curatorial projects: (gallery)
the curatorial projects section of samplesize is reserved for more ambitious, well-rounded projects that will often offer a thematic text to accompany the exhibition. This section of samplesize will serve as a gallery to exhibit these projects. We welcome projects curated specifically for samplesize but are also keenly interested in re-posting projects from other venues if we believe they would be of interest to our viewers.

snapshots:
the absolutely no context photo album...send us your jpegs (72 dpi &300 pixel maximum on the longest side). We will look at everything since everything is interesting'...but not all will be posted - see above. No credit will be given to individual images.

writing:
we will accept anything if it is well written and interesting. We currently have two general categories under which you may submit your writing...(art & other)...this will most likely expand as we grow. We except any length of essay or editorial and will NEVER edit your content. We accept writing projects specifically for samplesize but also welcome reprints i.e.: catalogue essays and articles that are particularly interesting and that which we would like to share with our public.

reviews:
we will accept well-written reviews on any art related topic exhibition, event, happening, scene, catalogue...whatever/wherever. Your reviews may be either long or short (samplesized) and we will NEVER edit your content or your #@!%&#*words as the case may be. We also welcome reviews of anything on samplesize.

what's with?:
this is where you can feel free to just RANT...on anything! We would appreciate a small jpeg of your topic if possible but this is optional. Your rants can be long or samplesized...remember: "keep your stick on the ice and your head in the game". * General Submissions Note: ...Hippies need not apply !
